Great tour - She has an amazing command of the history of not only Catania but also of Sicily and a great sense of humour. It became particularly interesting as we encountered sites and events. A memorable tour.

Best walking tour - I enjoyed this tour. Learned a lot of interesting facts from our guide Ester about the history of the city within a short period of time, she was even showing old pictures of the places we visited. I would pretty much recommend this tour to everyone.

Perfect guide to historic Catania. - The guide fulfilled his task with gold medal, his knowledge of the area and its history are really remarkable. Unfortunately a knee in trouble did not allow me to fully enjoy his dissertation. My wife, however, took full advantage of it. Highly recommended!

Fascinating Catania Walking Tour - We had an incredibly interesting tour of Catania. Our guide was Sandro (?) who is a professor at University of Catania and he had so many fascinating details of his “home city.” He had a backpack full of additional maps and photos to help explain his points.

Can highly recommend - Was extremely impressed with our guide. She knew how to deliver a good story, make you feel like you were part of the history, made it very interesting and her delivery was not only exceptional but she knew the art of including the audience. I can say this is probably the best walking tour I have ever experienced.

A Good sense of Sicilian life - Titianna was a great guide . Very educational experience . True feeling for the Sicilian lifestyle. Foods are natural, and the people make good use of natures bounty. Including lava which is used and repurposed very well from making buildings that stand for lifetimes to ornamental objects.

Catania, where time rests at the foot of a volcano. - The monuments are not very careful but impact by their grandness. We can see the Etna volcano very close. Prices are very affordable and we can buy good souvenirs in the city. I loved seeing the Elephant Square, the fish market but above all I loved the various churches and cathedrals.

Visit of Catania - I found this tour interesting to get to know the city of Catania and its main monuments. I do not recommend it on Sunday because there being mass the guide could not take us inside the cathedral (we returned later in the afternoon alone).

Extremely large group not worth the money - Over 60 people and one guide. Lost most of what she said as the group was so large we kept losing reception as we moving as a large group meant big distances. The guide was great the tour operator is running a scam, trying to get as many people in one group to get as much money as possible.
