Beautiful Noto walking tour

michael_h, Aug 2025

My wife and I had a lovely couple hours with Giovanna and Tommaso. We were fortunate to have our own private tour with them and saw and learned about many of the main Noto center attractions. They were highly knowledgeable and extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the Baroque architecture, history and culture of Noto, and even broader Sicily. Make sure you take the 80-stair climb to the top of the bell tower at San Carlo for a beautiful 360 degree view of the area. It won’t disappoint for only 3 euros per person!

Historical tour of Notos...

Historical tour of Notos baroque buildings. Eva, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and very sweet.

Beautiful Noto with an excellent guide

Our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about this interesting town.

Overpriced

Porzia_B, May 2023

Overpriced tour. We expected for the price paid for Noto to be more than a few churches with Baroque architecture. However our tour guide was lovely.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear customer, thank you for your review. We are glad that you appreciated the service of our guide. About the itinerary: we are sorry if you had different expactations but Noto is a small town and the town center is an Unesco world heritage site for its baroque architecture. It's well specified in our description that the visit of Noto consists in a cultural tour through the main churches and baroque 'palazzi' (it's the peculiarity of this town!). About the pricing: you booked a private service and our pricing is the standard rate for this type of services in Sicily and the price is also well specified before booking.
