Ragusa Private Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the Portale di San Giorgio to start a private tour of the historic center of Ragusa. We will begin by admiring the Gothic-Catalan style portal, a symbol of Ragusa featuring the depiction of St. George and the dragon, which survived the earthquake that destroyed the town.

A few steps away is the entrance to the Giardino Ibleo, the oldest garden in Ragusa overlooking the Irminio Valley, with views of the Iblei Mountains. This oasis includes numerous fountains, an avenue lined with palm trees, and an elegant balcony bordering the garden.

Then, we will visit the Church of San Giacomo, which features a wooden ceiling, Corinthian columns, and beautiful paintings. We will also pass by elegant palaces and stores selling Sicilian ceramics and handicrafts.

Next, we'll stop at the Circolo di Conversazione, known as the Caffè dei Cavalieri, an elegant 19th-century neoclassical building. The exterior showcases beautiful frescoes, chandeliers, and mirrors.

The tour will conclude with a visit inside the San Giorgio Cathedral, one of the most important monuments of the Sicilian Baroque style and part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. After about two hours of exploring, the tour will end at the entrance of this temple.
