Great way to explore the area

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour guide Elena was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She was very pleasant and made our experience wonderful. Nothing was too much for her.

Beautiful fun and informative day

Published on Oct, 2023

We had booked the Etna tour, but due to rain it was cancelled. As an alternative we opted for the Catania tour. It was a positive choice. Our guide was friendly and explained the whole history of the city. It was a journey through Roman times to the Baroque. During the tour we also tasted arancini with meat sauce and pistachio. It was a learning experience for our children as well. Characteristic and fun is the fish market, wonderful is the cathedral of Santa Agata.

Wonderful tour of Catania

Published on Sep, 2023

We had a wonderful tour of Catania with our tour guide Elena. She was so very interested in making it a great experience. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city and we learned so much from her. We also got to try local food, desserts and beverages. However, this tour is challenging from a walking perspective so only choose it if in good shape and prepared for walking. All in all, a wonderful day in Catania.

Walking Catania Tour with Elena is a Must!

Published on Sep, 2023

First day of our vacation in Catania and can’t recommend this tour enough! See the sights you want (and more), walk and get a lay of the land (so much to see/do in the immediate area) and best part is Elena, our fantastic guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, shared interesting stories/theories and just a good person. It was like walking around town with a local friend. Thank you Elena; great way to start our trip!
