Great tour with a great guide

William_S, May 2025

Emilia was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable and has a lovely temperament. I was with my 75 year-old parents and she was very good about finding us spots in the shade and opportunities to sit down while she told us about churches, sights, etc. I felt this was a perfect way to learn about Noto.

A Fine Walk in Noto.

Deary_D, Jul 2022

Our original guide had an emergency and was able to quickly find a substitute. Our new Corado was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Not to be missed

MOEZ_J, Apr 2022

Our guide who was educated in Noto and local to Noto was knowledgable on the poltical and religious history of this city. Spoke fluent English. Noto is an amazing city and this walking tour captures the highlights.

Worthwhile Tour

Pat_S, Mar 2022

Paola was highly knowledgeable but not boring. We enjoyed his little side stories. It was just my husband and I on a cold drizzly day but we had a great time

Pamela T, Oct 2016

Emilia was our tour guide in Noto. She took us to many sites and is extraordinarily knowledgeable. She is warm and personable, and we learned much more about Noto's history than we would have on our own or through the travel books we purchased. We highly recommend this tour!

Philip M, Sep 2016

We had a wonderful young lady take us around Noto. She has so much history and politics to tell us. The town was wonderful with so much to see that really we could have stayed for many hours but our scheduled time was too short. Would go back and do more next time.

Noto is a small town compared to...

Robbie_D, Jul 2016

Noto is a small town compared to nearby Siracusa and Catania, but it has a rich history. Our guide Emila was very sweet and had a great knowledge of the area, which made the three hours fly by. After the tour she also pointed us in the direction of her recommended trattoria for lunch and cafe for a granita.

This is very worthwhile, and I would...

Nanette S, May 2016

This is very worthwhile, and I would rate it a '5' if I were into churches more. Noto is a beautiful city and our guide, Italo, was very knowledgeable about history and architecture. It was a very pleasant and educational way to spend the morning.

Un'ora e 40 di visita...

Anastasia_R, Jun 2024

Un'ora e 40 di visita guidata a 360 euro per entrare in sole due chiese non lo consiglio proprio. Le esperienze di visite guidate fatte altrove e con altre organizzazioni sono state nettamente superiori.
