About this tour
A seven-hour private tour combining southeastern Sicily's architectural gems with coastal flavour. Start in Noto, where 18th-century Baroque palaces line honey-coloured streets, then taste the region's celebrated chocolate in Modica before heading to Marzamemi, a working fishing village where lunch—fresh catch of the day—arrives straight from the boats. Your guide navigates you through each stop whilst a driver handles the roads, leaving you free to absorb the landscape.

What to expect
You'll spend roughly two hours wandering Noto's pedestrianised centre, admiring facades and ducal palaces at your own pace with your guide pointing out architectural details. A mid-morning stop in Modica includes a chocolate tasting—expect small samples of the thick, grainy variety unique to this area. The drive to Marzamemi takes about an hour. Lunch happens at a harborside table where boats are unloading; order grilled fish, pasta with sea urchin, or whatever arrived that morning. Afterwards, you can stroll the village's narrow lanes or sit by the water before heading back.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for Noto's stone streets. Lunch timing is flexible but typically noon–1pm. The tour suits all fitness levels—there's minimal hiking, mostly walking on flat ground. Summer heat is intense; bring water and sun protection. Small groups capped at eight people.
