Punta Secca - Punta Secca is the most famous seaside village of Santa Croce Camerina. The small seaside village is called by the inhabitants “‘a sicca” for a characteristic cliff that runs on the water and that develops in front of the east beach. The fishing village overlooking the Mediterranean sea is a popular destination for tourists. Much of the reputation of the small village is due to the fiction Il Commissario Montalbano.
Travelers will have a 1h stop to visit the small village. -
Scicli - Scicli is a Baroque city in the Val di Noto, which rises in the south-eastern part of Sicily, in a valley set among three hills about 25 km from Ragusa. Named UNESCO heritage in 2002, it is a must for anyone visiting the south east of Sicily and for all fans of the television series Il Commissario Montalbano.
During 1 hour of rest, travelers can stroll through the streets of the Baroque village and discover all its treasures. -
Ragusa Ibla - Ragusa Ibla is the ancient historical center of the city of Ragusa. It is famous all over the world for over fifty churches and numerous palaces, testimony of the highest expression of Baroque in Sicily. Located on a hill, the small village of Ibla dominates the surrounding valley, with its huts and narrow streets on which the majestic Cathedral of San Giorgio reigns, the highest expression of the Hyblean baroque. Ragusa ibla has become in recent years one of the most important tourist attractions in Sicily.
In 2002 the city was included among the UNESCO Baroque sites of the Val di Noto.

A very good tour but do... - A very good tour but do not expect interaction with the driver. He is a driver, not a guide. It would have been nice to get tips and ask questions instead of hearing a recording of what you are about to see. Also, the car goes through twists and turns in the roadways and if you get carsick easily, take dramamine. It was a beautiful day exploring on a wonderful tour.

Misleading advertising to get business - The trip was advertised as a Montalbano tour. We visited one site which the driver had difficulty finding. Every time we stopped subsequently it was not connected to Montalbano. The driver could not speak English. He chose where we went for lunch and suggested a tourist train ride round the town. The company had agreed to drop two Australian couples off at their hotel which the driver couldn't find so we arrived back in Catania at about 7.30 instead of 6pm. When I complained in the office I was told that Montalbano was just the name of the tour -which was exactly why we chose it. There were several other Montalbano trips advertised so we believe the company is deliberately misleading tourists to get the bookings. The girl in the office told my wife no refund was available because we had seen the house and the rest of the trip was to see the General area and not to visit specific locations. If we had known this we would not have booked it. As a side issue because the driver acted as the personal taxi for the Australian couples and made us very late our taxi driver had to wait for 90 minutes to drive us back to our hotel
