“A unique view on an amazing town - Before coming to Ragusa Ibla, I’d already heard a lot about its charm and stunning views. But I was a bit fed up with all the classical tours I found on the internet, so I decided to go for something different and fresh. And since I’ve always been into photography (though no photographer myself), I decided to give Liina’s tour a try…and I couldn’t have chosen better!” - Reviewed on 2024-07-09
