Overview of your Syracuse tour

I was born and live in this mountains and ever since I am a child I have been attracted from all this beautiful mix which influenced me to become a tourist guide! I like a lot this tour because we can admire different aspects of the real Sicilian community. We will see many little towns, visit authentic museums and try typical food. . In this trip by car we will also admire the beautiful landscape of the Iblei Mountains, just behind Syracuse but far from the chaos of the city and the mass tourism of the coast: green meadows, canyons carved into the limestone, little forest and a labyrinth of dry stone walls.

We enjoyed an excellent, individualized tour of Ragusa and Noto as a day trip out of Ortigia. Paolo is an excellent host and driver through this breathtaking area of Sicily. We also had a delicious lunch at a Agriturismo restaurant with stunning views. Grazie Mille!

We had a wonderful day, long tour with Paolo of 3 villages in the mountains inland from Syracuse. After finding out about our interests, we took a short nature walk through a beautiful preserve overlooking hundreds of prehistoric burial sites. We then visited a store selling honey harvested by the family and had an opportunity to taste the honey and the liqueur before traveling on to two other villages and then spending considerable time at an ancient Greek/Roman town, with a theater, the remains of an acropolis, and catacombs. Pailo was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and we very much enjoyed the tour.

We had a great day with Paolo and would recommend this tour. Paolo is very knowledgeable about the area and we did a range of different activities in the day. Paolo also arranged for us to visit a garden in Siracusa the following day, which we really appreciated.

Your Syracuse tour itinerary

I can take you with my car in Syracuse or nearby and we will go in the Iblei mountains and visit many little towns (Palazzolo Acreide, Sortino, Buccheri, Buscemi, Ferla). In each town we will do a relaxing walking tour of the historic centre (baroque style churches, noble palaces, suggestive courtyards, narrow alleys, cobbled squares, etc. ) and according on your request we can visit different museums. In addition in each town we will have a special experience, so in Ferla we will visit the Nature Reserve an Archeological Necropolis of Pantalica, in Palazzolo we will visit the remains of the greek town of Akrai, in Buccheri we will see how they used to store the snow in the past, in special lava stone cisterns, to have the ice in summer, in Sortino we wiil have a free tasting of honey and related products. In short it's an unique tour to better know the real sicilan community!
