I had a wonderful tour with Alessandra. The food was great, and Alessandra‘s knowledge, familiarity, and love for the city of Catania were a welcome introduction to the city. All of the dishes were delicious, and were uniquely local. I was the only one on the tour, and I appreciated that the tour was not canceled, even though there was only one client. This allowed for Alessandra to answer any, and all questions I had about life in Catania. Thanks for a great experience!

Marina was incredible! So full of knowledge and ready to answer any and all questions. The food was amazing! And so much of it too, I didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day

We had a wonderful time wandering the streets of Catania, learning about its history, and sampling so many different foods along the way. I have to warn you that is is much more food than you are probably expecting! We were full before the end, but everything was so good that we kept eating. Ana was our tour guide and did a great job telling us about everything and answering all of our questions.

Our guide Anna was lovely and gave us a nice mix of foody information and historical information. The food was great and meant we didn’t need lunch. The walking part of the tour was a great way to see the old town and the markets. Would definitely tour to try some local Catanian food.
