Enjoyable day - We had a very enjoyable day with Nando. He gave us a lot of interesting information and he was a good driver. We were given enough time in both Ortigia and Noto to explore on our own with the information he gave us.

Delightful Ortigio - Walking around Ortigio and Noto. Good views of channel into Ortigio before and after a rain shower. Knowledgeable, patient, and friendly guide.

Very educay - I really enjoyed all the information Giuseppe had to offer, and being Sicilian he gave us lots of recommendations on food. 👍🏼The trip was very well organized and the timing was also perfect. My experience in Sicily, with the Syracuse trip, really made me appreciate where we basically all come from. It was a wonderful learning experience. I will come back

Great day tour of Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto with Etna Tribe - We booked this tour directly with Etna Tribe online and everything was seamless, allowing us easy pick up from our hotel in an eight seater van with the wonderful guide and driver Nando. It is a full day trip, from about 9 am up to 5 or 6pm. First stop about an hour south of Catania is Syracuse with the entrance fee included in the package and you have about an hour and a half to wonder in the beautiful gardens and 'ruins' of the Greek and Roman amphitheaters that are so well preserved. Next is a short drive to the town of Ortigia where we walked with Nando for about an hour seeing this historic and again, beautiful sea side town with its amazing square (where at least part of the gorgeous movie Malena was filmed). We then had some free time to wonder the picturesque streets by ourselves and have some lunch. Last stop was a town called Noto not too far away where again we walked this charming smaller town so worth the visit, and had the best cannoli during our five day stay in Sicily! Excellent tour that is highly recommended if you want to sit back stress free having a driver and guide and for us it was making the most of our three day stay in Catania exploring the nearby area.

Great experience - 5 stars! It was a great way to see a couple of cities in one day. The guide was very knowledgeable. Each city had its own personality.

Highly recommend! - Giuseppe was a great guide - he gave us lots of interesting information during the drive, and then when we visited the sites he struck a good balance between acting as a tour guide and giving us free time to explore. The archaeological park was really interesting and we enjoyed Ortigia too. Noto’s baroque style wasn’t our cup of tea but it was still nice to see.

A day well spent - Well worth it, interesting, enjoyable. Our tour guide (Nando) did a very nice job. The group was friendly and truly multinational. The Island of Ortiga was our favorite part.

Totally worth it! - We had a great time and learned a lot about Sicily. Nando is an excellent guide. He explained everything we needed to know and was happy to answer our questions.

Take notes when you book - Giuseppe is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge and a superb driver. The excursion is costly for this experience as food is not income, and the day, the whole experience is rushed due to the extensive distance.
