What you can expect

  • Your Journey into the Heart of Sicilian Baroque
    The Heart of the Baroque: Noto, Modica and Ragusa Ibla with a Private Driver
    Enjoy an exclusive experience in Val di Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. Accompanied by your private driver-guide who is fluent in English, you will discover the soul of authentic Sicily in total relaxation, travelling in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle, with departure directly from your accommodation in Catania, Taormina or from the harbour.

    The Tour's Highlights:
    Noto, the Garden of Stone: Stroll along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and be enchanted by the golden Baroque. The tour includes admission to the most prestigious treasures: Palazzo Nicolaci with its iconic balconies, Palazzo Ducezio with its Hall of Mirrors and panoramic terrace, and the elegant Tina Di Lorenzo Theatre.

    Modica and the Black Gold of Sabadì: Explore the city that looks like a nativity scene carved into the rock. An outstanding food tasting awaits you at the Sabadì confectionery, adjacent to St. George's Cathedral, where you will sample over 30 types of Modica chocolate. After the walk, we'll take you by car to the most spectacular viewpoints for unforgettable photos.

    Ragusa Ibla and the Hyblaean Gardens: Lose yourself in the medieval alleys and Corso XXV Aprile. We will visit the Cathedral of San Giorgio, where you can admire the relics of Saint John the Baptist, and we will conclude with a refreshing stroll along the paths of the magnificent Giardini Iblei.

    Traditional Flavours: If you'd like to stop for a typical lunch, we'll recommend the most authentic restaurants for you to savour the real local cuisine.

    A Tailor-Made Experience
    This is not just a tour, but a journey that follows your pace alone. We will unveil the most photogenic spots and hidden secrets of these magical cities. Every moment is overseen by Angela and the Sicilian Soul Experience team to ensure you receive continuous, top-notch assistance, right up until your drop-off, returning you to the total comfort of your accommodation.
