Davide through SicilySRL Should Be YOUR driver!
Our driver was Davide who is with SicilySRL. We did many excursions: Syracuse, Notos, Mount Etna hike and Taormina! We can’t say enough about him. He was an accessory to our trip we would not have wanted to miss. He was funny, professionally eloquent and drove us safely everywhere!

It is not a tour, it is an accelerated transfer.
From the first moment of starting the tour we saw that this was not a tour, it was a transfer to the cities. The person who promptly picks us up did not speak Spanish, nor English, at the request, I presented the phone with the google traslator. Upon arrival in Ortigia, he tells us that one hour he visited her (in his document there were four), when he arrived at Noto maximum two hours (which in his document were three), we were not transferred to the Roman village of Tellaro (We were told That was € 50 more, after discussing wassap with an alleged boss we passed another person who in English tells me that the road is cut). The duration of the tour was 12 hours, in 7 hours we had been dispatched. In summary: We felt scammed and what was a beautiful excursion was a fleeting and stressful ride. The driver was a good person that always tried to do the best, but he does know languages and we think is was not a profesional.
Response from the operator: Dear Antonio, Thank you for your kind feedback. Your opinion is very important for us and will help to us to better our experience and understand where we can grow and let our client always more satisfied. We will check the situation about your day tour directly with our driver and we will let you know as soon as possibile. Best Regards

Excellent shore excursion in Sicily
Tony was such a gem. He picked up me and my nine year old daughter at the cruise terminal and took us on a fantastic tour. It was horribly hot but Tony drove us in as close as he could to all the things we wanted to see and when we kept trying to wiggle out of certain destinations, he found ways to make them accessible for us. He is absolutely lovely. He loves his island and he is dedicated to sharing all the beautiful destinations with his passengers. He kept suggesting little additions to the tour -- and they blew our minds. Noto and Avila are amazing. So is Ortigia. Thank you, Tony, for being so patient and kind. We had so much fun with you.

Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.
How much does Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania cost?
+
Prices start at $388 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catania is not rushed.
Is Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Catania?
+
On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Catania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Catania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania?
+
Included: Private Transfer and tour by private car. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance Ticket for the Neapolis Archeological Park (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Catania. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania offered in?
+
It runs in Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Syracuse and Noto Private Tour from Catania?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
