Intriguing! - What a fascinating tour. Just to know that below the city is so much history! Our guide was a little under the weather, but she hung in there and gave us a fantastic tour! If you are into history - definitely check it out!

Fascinating underground tour - Mathilde gave us a fascinating, in-depth, animated tour of underground Catania. Even though it was raining, she was flexible and made sure we still had the full experience. We would highly recommend this experience from an unusual perspective.

Informative and highly enjoyable - Did this walk on our first day of our Catania stay, which really made us appreciate Catania even more afterwards. Matilde was very good guide, friendly and fun, with tons of knowledge about Catania, its underworld and its past. Highly recommended!

Engaging and fascinating tour of underground parts of Catania and its layered history - Definitely recommend - a great tour for our family, giving access to areas otherwise hidden. We were privileged to see and hear about the layers of history in Catania.

Catania hidden - An interesting walk to discover places of a certain charm, although unfortunately poorly maintained. For the shift entry at the second site the group proved too large (waiting times a bit long).
