The tour was great. The guide Titania was very good. really enjoyed the tour.
Walking tour was cancelled at short notice (11.30PM the night before) for a 10AM tour the next morning. It would appear from previous reviews this is not the first time recently that this tour operator has canceled this tour in this way. No excuse and no apology.
This was an excellent tour. The guide was superb - very knowledgeable and well organized. We learned a lot about Catania's history and culture and unique relationship with Mt. Etna. We highly recommend this tour!!
Ester was a fantastic guide. She taught us a lot about the history of Catania. She is very knowledgeable and her English is superb!
Very informative and interesting
Excellent tour that hits the highlights of the Catania area with enough info for you to create follow up visits if you want to explore some areas more in depth.
Very knowledgeable tour guide , things are beautifully narrated. Amazing to understand history around these places.
Tour was informative but nothing exceptional. The town has an interesting history and its proximity to Mt Etna makes for an extraordinary backdrop.
Esther was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. She gave us a lot of info and inspired us to do some more reading about Catania and Sicily. Very enjoyable couple of hours, walking about 6 km.
Our guide Alice was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, excellent English skills and encouraged questions. The tour was quite comprehensive (approx 2 hours) and well worth the price.
The guide was good. Very knowledgeable - certainly knew her stuff. It was very reasonably priced. I was slightly disappointed that we did more standing and listening than walking...but overall it was enjoyable..
Found this tour to be very informative and easy to understand. Nicholas showed us many interesting things and was very easy to understand
We learned some interesting information, but the tour was too heavy on religious history and figures and minimal on overall historic events and sites
Had a lovely morning walk around some interesting spots in Catania. Seafood market is a little fishy… but the oysters are amazing 2euro for one $$$ but worth it. The stories about the history is very intriguing. Also a good way to find good spots to eat later.
What was shared as part of the tour was interesting: the history of the city, church, landmarks, unique restaurant, but we feel there could have been more facts, stories and places covered during the tour if the guide had talked while walking. She did say she didn't like talking and walking, which would have been easy since the tour uses the individual ear speaker system, but it meant that we would walk from place to place with no commentary about what we were seeing along the way. Spent too much time at the church. Decent English speaking guide. Excellent restaurant recommendation.
Excellent guide and nice pace. Really enjoyed this tour. We saw many important sites and also learned a great deal about the history of the city. Highly recommended.
We had a lovely morning with our tour guide Esther walking around Catania, Sicily. She had a wealth of information on the history of the area, and shared pictures that made the story come alive. Would recommend this tour.
Angela was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. The small group tour worked out well and was not too big. The duration was perfect. Catania is a more busy city and Angela helped us learn about the sites and history which we would otherwise have missed.
Booked our walking tour through Get Your Guide website. The guide was local, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable but a bit disorganized so we didn't get to all the sites shown in the listing although she spent more time than shown in the listing. Spent too much time in the main square and cathedral. The guide, or Get Your Guide should invest in headsets for the group as it is so much easier to follow along and hear the guide.
If I only had time take one tour, this is the one I would choose. In 2 hours the guide explained the history of Catania, the cuisine and culture, and I even learned about the architecture of the city. Our tour guide recommended places where to eat, explained the typical dishes, offered suggestions of how to maximize our time and see what really matters. She also used her architectural background to explain things that could not be easily understood otherwise. In addition to being informative, our tour guide was patient and had a good sense of humor which made the tour even more exciting. She was everything and more that anyone could expect in a tour guide. I feel I left with a good understanding of the Sicilian culture.
Titiana gave us a tour that every tourist who does not know Sicilia should follow. Clear and to the point explanation with a visit to the most important places. Extremely customer-friendly: Always ready to answer questions, respond to our wishes and expectations. Thanks!
I went to Mount Etna last week with my parents and it was stunning. Erminia was a fantastic tour guide. I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and I felt safe the entire time. Walking up one of the craters it was very windy so she held my arm so I felt comfortable during our walk. Her love for Mount Etna, enthusiasm and joy was contagious. It was a perfect day. Thank you Erminia!!
Ideal tour to get a first impression and overview of Catania. Our guide was very motivated. We really enjoyed it.
A wonderful little walk: lots of information about nature, culture, and history - along with wonderful street food (always relaxed with seating and time), all in a small group with a total of 8 participants. An extraordinary enjoyment for all senses with an excellent price-performance ratio - anytime again!
Which is very satisfying, done on foot therefore with human rhythms and with a very good guide who informed us with great generosity about architecture , customs on styles on history
The guide just was perfect! We were there on the 23.3, around 10.30. He had tons of interesting information and you could feel he loved his city. To recommend and do at the beginning of the stay.
On a traveling holiday in Sicily, our tour operator offered us a guided walking tour to Catania and we met with Totò! Beautiful experience, very prepared is to say the least, nice and very careful not to stop in the sun to explain the beauties of a wonderful city! He led us through the streets of the center expertly illustrating monuments, buildings, characteristic places and offering us a refreshing green mandarin drink! Squisita! Appreciable the detailed description of every corner of Catania, curious anecdotes and also very particular the passage through the fish market. Obviously there were questions about where to eat the arancino or the onion bundle and his advice proved clearly valuable! Thank you Totò for your time and we will definitely return to Catania also thanks to the curiosity that your descriptions have stimulated. Thank you!
A must to get to know the main attractions of the center of Catania on foot. A small historical, cultural, artistic and even culinary tour. The super knowledgeable and passionate guide also gave us useful advice on what to see and where to eat. Recommended as the first thing to do once you arrive in Catania.
Leonardo was the ideal guide, prepared, passionate, kind and considerate. He guided us step by step and explained everything and more, answered every question with competence and great detail. The Etna tour is an experience to do at least once but with a guide like this it was even better! Congratulations!
