How to live the charm on an organized tour - Given that the bewitching beauty of Sicily speaks for itself, I would like to give a note of merit also to this agency that supported me in choosing the excursions, in particular the one that allowed me to see in one day Ragusa Ibla, Noto and Modica: magnificent excursus of the Sicilian Baroque valley. Thanks to their professionalism, kindness and helpfulness typical of Sicilian hospitality!

Perfect Day Trip - This was an amazing day trip! Just enough time in each of these quaint, little towns to enjoy their beautiful scenery. Make sure to visit the Sabadi chocolate shop in Modica.

Explore the Noto Valley - The tour included three small Baroque towns in the Val de Noto: Ragusa, Modica, Noto. It was a dense but wonderful day. A treat for the eyes. The driver was very caring and very friendly. As we are going to return to Sicily next year we will go through the same company.

Great overview of barroque cities - The tour is a good option for getting a good idea of 3 baroque towns (Ragusa, Modica and Noto) without having to drive or take public transport (would not be possible in a day). You get one hour and a half in every town to explore on your own, along with some suggestions from the organizers. We also stopped for 5 mins in a viewpoint outside Modica which I really liked. The arrangement was very practical and the organizers very thoughtful. I usually have motion sickness problems in vehicles but not this time, since the driver was very careful and I got to sit on the front, so if you also suffer from this, this is your sign to book it :). I had a hard time picking just one place to visit of the 3 and this tour made it possible to see a bit of everything, which is good since each place is beautiful in a different way.

A perfect day trip from Siracusa - The self guided tour to Noto, Ragusa and Modica Is perfect for people who don't want to drive, like me. Everything went smoothly, the car is comfortable, the ride was safely, and you have plenty of time to go around each city. And drink a glass of wine without worry about driving back.

Efficient option to see hill towns - Efficient way to see these great hill towns outside of Syracusa. Granted, all of these gorgeous towns are worth much more than 90 minutes each but if you don’t have a car and limited time, this is the way to do it. Not a tour - you’re on your own in each town, which is just fine. Pleasant and good driver.

A great experience - It all worked out great, I was very satisfied. The meeting place is easy to find and the staff are friendly and helpful. A great tour to see the main sights. We were (a group) on the road all day and described a lot.

Lovely visit to Baroque cities - Thanks for organising a great tour to Ragusa, Modica and Noto. Good communication from Iolanda at Sicily in Travel. We were happy to be driven by Stefano who was very calm and steady. The baroque cities are fascinating and beautiful. Because of the heat, we took the tourist train in Modica, which is a great way to see the city in a short time. Commentary in 3 languages. After our brief visit to these stunning cities we will return for a longer visit one day. Excellent day in good company of other travellers. I recommend Sicily in Travel.

More Description Needed for Elderly - Tour of three cities (Noto, Ragusa, & Modica) just a drop off and on your own. As seniors (9) luckily, we saw a small hop on hop off train in each of the cities that would take us through the very hilly cities so that we could appreciate their beautful hills and valleys, otherwise we would not have been able to see as much. Viators description or the driver should have made a suggestion to us that there was a hop on hop off train. If we didn't see the train, we would have had a very limited excursion.
