One of the highlights of our time in Siracusa.”

Walk from Catania to Syracuse, Ortigia, and Noto in one long day, with Neapolis entrance included and a max 8-person group.
“It’s mostly just transportation to the three sites. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable, but at Noto and Siracusa, he simply let us out of the van to wander on our own. Only at Ortigia did he walk with us and show us the story of the island. This is a common thread with most of these small group tours you book online. It’s just a van and a driver. I wish Sicily’s tour culture wasn’t so frosty and hands-off. We felt like we missed a lot by not engaging with a local about their history and culture.”
Small-group day trip from Catania to Syracuse, Ortigia, and Noto, with Neapolis entry and Sicilian Baroque wandering.
