Strollers and infants accepted: 2 of 2 shared and 1 of 2 private tours. Operator-marked wheelchair access: none of 4; filter first, then confirm with the operator. Baroque Shades: Noto, Modica and Ragusa: €110 per person, rated 4.83 from 40 reviews. It lists English, Italian and Spanish. A driver-only booking does not promise a guided visit in those languages.
