Very informative and interesting tour. Serena spoke very good English and she was clearly very knowledgeable about the history of the town

Serena was incredibly informative and related the information in a calm and focused manner. She was extremely patient and kind in answering all questions. Would highly recommend this tour if u want to know more about the history.
Wear comfortable sneakers as many steps to walk. But done casually.

Our guide Serena took us on a wonderful tour of Ragusa Ibla starting from Ragusa Superiore. On the way we learnt about the history of Ragusa and its surrounding areas, the baroque style of architecture, saw beautiful buildings and walked the pretty garden of Ibla. Serena presented her detailed knowledge in an easy to understand and interesting manner. She was brilliant. I highly recommend this tour.

Serena was an excellent guide with positive energy and a lively way of brining the past to life. We visited many churches in this waking tour and she managed to keep it interesting and even fun.

Our guide Serena was brilliant she knew her history and all the knowledge about every church that we went to.She was always engaged and looked happy with her job.Luckily we were the only ones but she did say she only does small groups and i think we went over time which she wasnt worried about. 10 out of 10 Serena thanks

We had a wonderful tour. Serena is very knowledgeable about history architecture and art in Sicily and especially this region and the baroque period. She is warm and generous with recommendations for further exploration and she gave us some great tips for restaurants and places to visit elsewhere in the area. You will feel fortunate just to meet such a person and will end the day with a rich appreciation for your visit.

We spent a lovely afternoon with Serena, who was friendly and knowledgable and took her time to show us the amazing architecture that Ragusa has to offer. We learned so much history and Serena shows us several very special churches and built an interesting story around them.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting. We have decided to come back and stay in Ragusa, just by going on this tour.
Lauri_G, Sep 2024
This was a really nice tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and provided not only a history or Ragusa but also of Sicily in general. Plan enough time to park in the lower town and take a bus to Ragusa Superiore to start the tour or vice versa.
Deb_M, Sep 2024
Serena was lovely and very informative. Tour was a bit long, maybe a few less churches and more about the town.
Toni_T, Sep 2024
If you're staying in Ragusa or only have a few hours to explore, I highly recommend taking a tour with Serena. She brings both sides of the city to life with engaging stories about Ragusa's rich heritage. Her extensive knowledge of each site, combined with her thoughtful itinerary, ensures you'll visit some of the most scenic spots in all of Sicily. The tour was exceptionally well-organized, and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you, Serena!

Amazing! We loved every minute of the guided tour. Our tour guide Serena deserves 5 stars! Serena was extremely informative and she really knows her history. Serena is thoughtful as we started the tour at the top and descended down the hill toward Ibla. What can I say we loved every minute. Thank you Serena for keeping us informed by WhatsApp and for you kind patience. You are a Star!
Eduardo_S, Jul 2024
Serena was amazing. She contacted us in advance of the tour and gave us personalized guidance on how to arrive from our hotel to the tour. The tour as such was amazing. Serena is very knowledgeable and gave us very interesting first hand information about the city. I can just recommend this tour if you visit Ragusa
Vivienne_D, Jun 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed an amazing walk from Upper Ragusa down to Ragusa Ibla, including 300 steps, with Serena. We visited the important churches on the way and she explained the different typical balconies to us. Not only was Serena knowledgeable, she made the Baroque era come alive with her passion. We also had a lot of fun together. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We highly recommend Serena as guide for anyone who wants get to know Ragusa's and Sicily's vast history.
Michael_K, May 2024
Our guide Serena shared a lot of historical detail with the group, very enthusiastically. She brings a lot of positive energy to the tour and engages the group through interesting details and anecdotes about upper and lower Ragusa. She is a real pro and enjoyed the tour quite a bit.

Es ist eine faszinierende Stadt und mit unserer tollen Führerin Serena haben wir viel gesehen, das uns sonst beim Alleingang nicht aufgefallen wäre. Serena ist eine unglaublich kompetente und fürsorgliche Guide, die auf die Wünsche eines älteren Ehepaars gut eingegangen ist, und uns mit Wissen um die Stadt versorgt hat. Vielen Dank dafür!
Bernd_H, May 2024
