- Highly recommend booking a guided tour of Catania with Italo. It was the perfect start to our honeymoon in Sicily, and we learned alot about Catania during different time periods, as well as the significance and importance of Etna and how she shaped the city as it is today. Along the way we got the oppurtunity to “shape” the tour, as Italo gave us some choices of what he could show us. After the tour Italo also helped us with recommendations of both where to find the best public beaches and places to eat. If you want to learn about Catania and Sicily in general with good company and guidance, Italo is the guide to book! Best Nicoline & Carlos

An enlightening tour - Italo is a great tour guide. He is an archaeologist so he’s very knowledgeable in the hisory of Catania and the Greek and Roman ruins. He’s also very pleasant to be with. I highly recommend a tour with him.
