Ragusa, Modica, Noto - Nice day trip, beautiful towns, love Modica chocolates. Noto was our favorite city, architecture, flat streets. Comfortable a/c van, friendly driver, not too chatty, only 8 people in our full group.

Excellent way to see these 3 towns when we don't have enough time. - The driver was excellent and told us where to go and the sights to see. Had a great bunch of people on the trip. Stopped to get Modica chocolate and saw a beautiful church right by the chocolate shop. Ragusa was good and we had time to do the little train around Ragusa. Noto was the last stop and we just wandered with gelato. A great day.

Montalbano Country - We were safely driven in the minivan by a charming young driver. The towns have beautiful baroque architecture and you have enough time to explore on your own. Ragusa was very special. The high viewpoint to see the church and city of Modica was amazing though we only really had time for lunch there. Noto was interesting but the rain limited our visit a little. The itinerary and timings works well - take your own guidebook to make the most of your time. Good value as it’s not easy to get there by public transport. Would recommend 👍

Nice and comfortable trip to Raguse, Modica and Noto! - Great trip to three interesting cities. Good car, driver who drove considerably and ensured a comfortable ride. We were released and picked up at central locations. The driver also contributed actively with tips and advice on the destinations along the way. A very nice day!

A small pearl - I don't usually write reviews, but I must say that I really enjoyed this agency. Availability, courtesy and professionalism at all times of the experience. Very nice and kind driver Silvio, who also provided me with numerous tips about what to see, where to eat. We were in a small group of six and everything went according to schedule and smoothly. We also tasted chocolate in Modica. The discovery of this agency gave me excellent chances to see areas that without a car I would not have easily reached and this was the pearl, in addition to the places visited, because finding people like this makes a difference.

Great tour allowing visits to Ragusa, Modica and Noto from Siracuse. - We loved visiting the 3 towns included in this tour. They were beautiful. The drive thru the country was very enjoyable as well. The amount of time allowed in each location was perfect. The driver was a very careful driver and was always right where he was supposed to meet us . We were however a bit surprised that 2 couples were placed in quite a small car for a trip of 8 hours , when the description said minivan tour. Luckily, we were average sized people, the women actually on the petite side. We had to get into the back seat 1 at a time, buckle seat belt and then the next person etc. A larger vehicle would have been much more comfortable. We were able to take a train tour in Modica and learned a lot of history about that town. Our driver surprised us at the end of the tour with delicious cookies for nice treat.

Interesting experience - The tour was interesting and Francesca our driver was fine, although he did not speak English, so we could not ask him any questions about where we were going. He just dropped us off in each of the cities ( these really are not villages except maybe for the old part of Ragusa)) and told us when he would pick us up. We did not get any maps detailing where we would be; maps would have been very helpful! This was the most economical tour, which is why we took it. It took us out of Ortigia and we saw something of the interior, which would not have happened otherwise. One word of caution: we were there first week of September and the heat was unbearable! So much so that it took much of the fun out of the visit - it was just not possible to climb all those hundreds of steps, to explore these places. It wasn’t just us - most people, especially in Modica and Noto (Ragusa was more manageable) stayed at the lower levels of these two towns, rather than try to climb hundreds of steps on their own. If you have time (do it as soon as you get there) in Modica especially, take the little “train” that will take you around, all the way to the top.

Not worth the money - Don't waste your money on this "tour." It was really a drop you off van ride to each city. I didn't expect a guide, however, it would have been nice to have some information or recommendations on where to go, what to see, or been given a map with highlights before being dumped off for an hour and a half in each city. Find something else to spend your money on. We just finished up a Mt Etna and winery tour that was less money and hands down above and beyond expectations.
