Our guide and driver,... - Our guide and driver, Nando, was amazing in the depth of knowledge he shared about the history and culture of Siracusa and Noto. I would give him 10 stars if possible.

Great overview of all... - Great overview of all three areas. Our guide, Lory, was great! She provided a good summary of each place, then gave specific recommendations on the important places we should visit. I like the format of having a guide in the beginning of each location tour, then having free time to explore on our own.

Absolutely worthwhile, excellent guide! - A terrific day! Our guide Andrea was wonderfully articulate and knowledgeable about history, archaeology, art and architecture. He brought these outstanding historical sites to life with warmth and charm, and had really thoughtful, engaging answers to our questions about Sicily, past and present. I loved when he pointed out the storks’ nests. 100% recommended!

History, Architecture, and Art in Southeast Sicily - It was a good tour with lots of time on our own to explore. Our guide, Lory, was very knowledgeable and while she did translate between Italian and English well, I wouldn't recommend bilingual tours to others as there is a lot of talking required. Lory must have been exhausted as I was just listening to so much information, most of it in a language I didn't understand. Not her fault at all, just the nature of doubling up on two languages.

great tour in Siracusa and Noto - Guiseppe did a great job giving background and information on the places we visited and did a great job on the tour itself

Beautiful part of Sicily - Giuseppe our guide was fabulous. He explained all the important facts about each area we visited, provided information on Sicilian food and key products farmed in the areas we visited. We had plenty of time to look around at each of the 3 stops and had time for some lunch in Ortigia. Would highly recommend this tour to see the beautiful history and countryside of Sicily

Beautiful Sicily - The tour guide, Nando, was excellent, providing historical and contemporary information. The cities are beautiful. There was an excellent balance of guided tour and free time.

Our culturally knowledgeable guide Lory was attentive and helpful in everything. Excellent as a driver and in advice - Lory, our guide, in addition to being culturally very knowledgeable, was attentive to all our requests and needs. A special thank you.

So so tour - Syracuse is a bland nothing. Barely visible rocks sticking up. Better ruins in Rome or Jordan. But the other 2 cities are stunning. The only problem is you get there when most shops are closed for siesta so you can’t shop and there’s too much time left over for seeing the churches and for lunch that it gets boring.

I regret in not writing... - I regret in not writing down the name of our driver/tour guide (June 12, 2014). She was knowledgeable and pleasant and given some prior research of our own appeared to hit the more interesting spots to visit. The drive was a tad long but the trip was comfortable in the vehicle supplied. We were only a group of 6 so that was great.
