Mimmo is a superb driver and guide. Informed, considerate and kind, he drove us across Sicily and revealed the character and mystery of Sicily to us along the way with intelligence, good cheer and humor. His English is impeccable. When we return, we will certainly use his services again. We loved Sicily, and Mimmo was a big part of the experience.
3. Private Tour of Ortygia's Highlights

Ortygia is the historical and religious centre of Syracuse. Is a small island joined to the mainland by a couple of bridges. When is possible, I like to offers also tastings of typical Sicilian food, like Modica’s chocolate, cheeses and charcuterie, at the Local Market or shops in Ortygia. Is also possible to have lunch together, at a Restaurant or at the Market with Sicilian cheeses, cold cuts, sun dried tomatoes and other traditional food.

We love Noto. This was our second visit however this time we went for the Christmas holidays. The weather was temperate and comfortable and the tourists were at a minimum. Good for us! It is such a charming and manageable town. We elected to stay right in town to minimize car travel and that was the best decision. Great restaurants and of course, Cafe Sicilia for almond granita. Easy side trips to Siracusa, Modica and Ragusa too.

Incredible experience. Pasquale is a very nice and upbeat person. He took us to the best wineries. From the moment he picked us up it was clear that he had the entire day in perfect control. He is always professional and also fun. We really enjoyed the wine and food and the cellar tours. Pasquale even sent us several pictures from the day of fun that we had together. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The communication was great - I asked Pasquale to arrange to have a cake for my girlfriend's birthday ... he made sure that at every destination there was a cake and everyone sang. He made me look like a hero! Thank you Pasquale!!!

We hired two boats from Sicily Boats last Friday 12th July for a party of 9 (5 in one, 4 in the other). The booking was really easy by mobile, just call Salvo +39 3283113505 or Stefano +39 3270207488. We thought it was a really professional service, quick, efficient and friendly and good value for money. Our trip was awesome along the beautiful coast off SE Sicily. Salvo and Stefano were brilliant. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Put your walkin' shoes on! We covered so much in such a short time! The old city of Syracuse-the Roman Amphitheater, the Greek theater (I even learned the difference between a theater and an amphitheater, which I never gave much thought and now I see it everywhere there is a Greek or roman ruin), the Ear of Dionysius: side bar: there was a lady with an incredible singing voice and she started singing inside the cave and the acoustics make you cry it is so beautiful. The waterfall at the top of the Theater is incredible. Letizia is full of knowledge, too much to put in a review. We then traipsed into Ortygia and saw the Temple of Apollo, the Piazza del Duomo, the Cathedral, the market and so much more. Letizia is great! She knows all the great places to eat, as she does a food tour as well. the best cannolo, chocolates, restaurants and let me add..where the restrooms are. Which is very important!!! I regret that I am not able to upload any pictures to this review!! Absolutely, no options, not even copy and paste!!! Way to drop the ball TripAdvisor!!

Grazie Letizia for taking me to all the best food places in Ortigia on this tour. I was grateful Letizia honoured the booking as my private guide as no one else had signed up that day. You will eat a ton of food and just getting to the front of the queue at Caseificio Borderi is worth the cost of the tour alone :) Don’t miss this tour!
