Overview

Your private driver will accompany you throughout the day to let you know all the places where the Inspector Montalbano drama was filmed. Furthermore, it is a tour that includes a fascinating journey between Modica and Scicli: two masterpieces of Sicilian Baroque that are very widespread in eastern Sicily. In particular we will visit the Municipal Palace of Scicli and other archaeological sites of notable importance, Modica with its unmistakable Chocolate and Ragusa Ibla with all its splendor.
We will also make a stop in Punta Secca, a splendid seaside village where the "Casa di Montalbano" is located with the possibility of stopping for lunch at the "Enzo a Mare" restaurant to taste some typical fish-based dishes (place frequented by the Commissioner Montalbano).
Finally we will visit the Donnafugata Castle, an ancient noble residence chosen to reconstruct the house of the Mafia boss Balduccio Sinagra.
As soon as the Tour is finished we will return to the destination requested.
