This private experience will allow you to fully explore the local art, architecture, and flavours, with an itinerary completely tailored to your preferences.

The tour begins in Noto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its extraordinary Baroque architecture. You will be accompanied by an expert local guide who will tell you about the history and legends of this fascinating city. On this tour, you will explore:

  • Cathedral of San Nicolò: With its imposing façade and bright interior, it is the symbol of Noto and a masterpiece of Baroque architecture.
    Palazzo Ducezio: Home to the town hall, this 18th-century palace is famous for the Hall of Mirrors, a lavishly decorated space that testifies to the city's cultural richness.
    -Church of San Carlo al Corso: Climb up to the bell tower to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the city.
    -Palazzo Nicolaci: With its famous decorated balconies and incredible architecture, this noble palace represents the height of Sicilian Baroque splendour.
    -Corso Vittorio Emanuele: The high street, lined with baroque palaces and churches, where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of Noto.

The tour continues to Modica, known for its unique architecture and tradition of handmade chocolate. In this charming town, you will explore:

-St. George's Cathedral: This masterpiece of Sicilian Baroque dominates the city with its spectacular staircase and beautifully decorated interior.
-St. Peter's Church: A splendid example of Baroque, with a staircase decorated with statues of saints and evocative interiors.
-Historic centre: Walking through the streets of Modica, you will discover picturesque corners, artisan workshops and historic palaces that make this city unique.

The highlight of the visit to Modica is a stop at a traditional chocolate shop for a tour and a tasting of the famous Modica chocolate.
