About Ragusa
Ragusa is a city of two halves — the ancient, honey-coloured baroque of Ibla and the later grid of Ragusa Superiore — and its streets reward anyone who wants to understand Sicily rather than just photograph it. The 3-Hour Walking Tour: Discover Baroque Ragusa is the strongest introduction, rated ★4.9 by 71 travellers, while the Ragusa Ibla Private Tour: The Pearl of Southeast Sicily suits those who prefer a guide to themselves. Both are led by locals who treat the city's churches, palazzi and layered history as a story worth telling properly.

Frequently asked questions
Ragusa is a UNESCO-listed late-baroque city rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, so its history is unusually legible: you can read the rebuilding in the facades of Ibla and the Duomo di San Giorgio. Guides here tend to focus on architecture, local aristocracy and everyday Sicilian life rather than general sightseeing, and some tours extend to Modica.
