Walking Tour of Ragusa and Modica
Follow your passionate guide on a walk up and down the city of Ragusa and uncover the history and secrets of the southernmost province in Sicily. Rising from the Hyblean Mountains and perched on the side of a hill, Ragusa's historic centre, Ibla, presents itself as an ode to Sicilian Baroque and its grandiose lines: an art form emerging from the rock. Here, you will visit a traditional atelier of Sicilian carts, a unique place that takes you back to the early 1900s, when Sicilian carts were at their peak. Continue to Modica, once the capital of the Hyblean country. The city offers stunning views and reveals precious treasures along the way, both sensorial and architectural. Here, you will stop at a traditional chocolate factory to taste its excellent chocolate, still made according to the Aztec method dating back centuries.
