Review of a private Sicily day trip from Catania or Taormina to Siracusa, Ortigia, and Baroque Noto with driver Salvo.
“My husband and I took this day trip from Taormina and were impressed. The drive is about 1 1/2 hours to Noto our first stop, but our driver Salvo was very professional, personable and knowledgable. He gave us a lot of information about the history and geography of the areas we drove through as well as what we were going to see which made the ride seem not so long. We felt the time spent in each of our stops Noto, Siracusa and Ortigia was adequate, as it was a long day. We also chose to stop at the Neapolis in Siracusa which was offered. If you have the time…”
