Very special day in Noto and Marzememi - Prestelli tours built a custom itinerary for us starting in Noto and then on to a very special wine tasting and finishing at Marzememi. Michael was a great tour guide and Maritza was a wonderful driver. We learned so much and really enjoyed every moment. Wonderful day with Prestelli tours. Would never have experienced such places without the Prestelli tours

Our guide Marco, picked us up from... - <p>Our guide Marco, picked us up from our hotel in the Ortigia area of Siracusa and we drove to Noto. Along the way he provided a wonderful running narrative of the countryside and Sicilian culture. In Noto, his knowledge of the baroque architecture was extensive and clearly provided us with insights into how the development of such beautiful examples came to be in Noto.<br/>
A great guide with a great topic.</p>
