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..

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.

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.
