What people are saying about Modica

Alessio is a crack. Attentive, very detailed in the explanations, with a great knowledge of everything we visited and also a nice person who made the trip entertaining and enjoyable. It gives you a lot of useful information, both about the cities you visit and about everything you ask or want to know about Sicily. The same if you want to have a good espresso…he knows where you should go. We were a group of 6 with him and the truth is that we traveled in luxury in the van. If I return to Sicily I will not hesitate to organize my excursions with him. It is a success and I recommend it 100%. Thank you Alessio for a great day.

We were able to book this tour from Taormina. It was an extra long drive, but just outstanding. All three towns are different, but all were not to be missed. If your just thinking about going to Noto, don’t. Ragusa and Monica are wonderful. Allisio was an outstanding guide, knowledgeable and considerate in every way. He added greatly to the tour with his knowledge of the area and its history. Don’t miss this one.

Amazing experience! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and humorous. His expertise made this tour so enjoyable and it was the highlight to our entire vacation. I won’t forget this tour and I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to diversify their experience in Sicily.

It was a very exciting day and the guide was incredibly good at communicating and making the whole day an experience.

We had a great with Alessio and Natalie. They made made it a very fun day. Loved visiting all three towns.
