This is a wonderful tour. Our driver Martino couldn't have been more helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He treated us like family. He pointed out the significant points of interest in Syracusa, Noto and Ortigia and gave us plenty of time to enjoy them on our own. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
