Guided tour of Noto, a city of art rich in charm that has earned the title of “Stone Garden” as well as the Sicilian capital of Baroque. In 2002 it was named UNESCO as a World Heritage Site along with all Baroque cities of the Noto Valley. Starting from Porta Reale, you will pass through the main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, where on both sides you can admire baroque churches and palaces then passing for the jewel of Baroque par excellence: the Cathedral.

Last minute we were informed that we will not he picked up from hotel as was arranged. Tour was scheduled to start at 2:30pm but didn’t start until 4pm. The tour Was combined with Italian group that was picked up at different location. Unbelievably unorganized and unprofessional. Once we arrived at Notto tour guide took us first to a shop where we spent 45 minutes out of the 2 hours we were to spend in the city.

We and another English-speaking couple were piggy-backed onto a tour of 40 Italian-speaking tourists and the guide could not keep everyone's attention when speaking at considerable length in the other language. This was at least partly because he had difficulty being heard by such a large group with no audio devices or other audio assistance; and once he gave his site description immediately in front of a musician playing an amplified electric guitar, so we could barely hear at all. On the way back, a missed head count resulted in having to go back to pick up 2 tourists who had not made it on to the bus, and we ended up arriving back at our hotel after 8 pm rather than at the scheduled arrival time of 6:30 pm.

Our guide Franco was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about the history and culture of Noto. Climbing the bell tower gave a beautiful view.

Poor information on pick-up location. After over an hour standing by roadside, 8:00-9:30am, tour was cancelled with no explanation. A replacement pm tour was arranged without compensation.
Will not use Wellsicily or Scarletworld.

It was a great trip for a half day. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would recommend it to friends and family.
Lovely Baroque buildings all in the same place, walking diwn the main street feels like going back in time.

The city was beautiful and I learned some interesting details about its past and the production of local foods. The tour started on time.
