This was a great trip to see different areas of Sicily and learn about the history. I loved the Neapolis and seeing the amphitheater and Ear of Dionysius, as well as the Temple of Apollo. Our guide Giovanni was excellent. He had so much knowledge to share and was super fun to tour with. All the members of our group of 7 had a great time!

Vincenzo was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and about Sicily, in general. He was punctual, helped us in and out of the van, and transported us safely around the coast of Sicily. I appreciated that the van was new and very clean. We had some free time and glad that it was not excessive. Enough time to further explore and get a dessert or beverage. We liked that we had many choices on the menu for the brunch.

Full description

After being picked up from your accommodation in Catania, visit the magnificent Neapolis in Syracuse. Declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2005, this famous archaeological park houses a Greek theatre. With the help of an informative booklet, admire the impressive ruins of this stunning site.
After visiting Syracuse, journey to the lovely peninsula of Ortigia. Starting from the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, enjoy a gentle stroll to reach the spectacular white cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception. Take in this idyllic cathedral, before stopping off at the Fountain of Arethusa, a legendary freshwater spring.
For lunch, you have the option to enjoy a rich brunch made of typical Sicilian products, with water and red wine. Or, if you prefer, you will have 1-hour of free time to have lunch in one of the amazing restaurants in the alleys of the city.
Upon reaching Noto, you will explore this jewel of Sicilian Baroque architecture, which is often considered to be an open-air museum. Admire the extraordinary architecture of its many palaces, churches, and stairways. After an exhilarating day, sit back and relax as you are taken back to your hotel in the comfort of a luxurious vehicle.
