Fun with Agata - Agata was a fabulous guide. We had a medical issue and her skills were invaluable. Her knowledge of history was thorough and easy to comprehend and appreciated. We loved every Minute of our time w her.

Becoming familiar with Catania - Guide was very knowledgeable and clear communicator. He made extra effort to give recommendations when we asked him for them. He is well versed in Catania history and did added to our tour.

Excellent local guide. - Agatha (spelling?) was wonderful. Her local knowledge was excellent and we saw many interesting places in a few hours. This was a great way to get an overview of Catania and we also had a super lunch at a place she suggested.

VisionVery good walk to get to know the city - We were in Catania in the evening with our guide Virginia. Virginia gave us a lot of information in very good English and we saw a lot. Time flew by.

Review of Catania like a local - This was a two hour walking tour. While our guide gave us a good sense of the city and took us to many interesting places, she was not a licensed guide. We booked our tour for 2-4 not realizing that many places are closed for their lunch break. So if you are interested in seeing the local churches you should book a tour earlier. My one complaint was that the guide moved the meeting location from the City Central Square to a McDonalds. While a google map was sent with the change, it is hard to find locations when you don't know the city. We finally had to go to the information center to get directions.

Had to fire our guide - We booked a 6-hour tour, but cancelled the tour less than 1 hour into it. Our guide, Jessica, was very unprofessional (she brought her boyfriend on a private tour), her English was bad, and she would only talk to one person, instead of the group. It was just five of us, and we could barely hear or understand what she was saying. She was walking the streets of Catania talking to her boyfriend and pointing out things saying: -this is a typical Sicilian church -This is a colorful elephant. She took us to see the amphitheater and since she wasn’t telling us anything about the amphitheater, I asked if there was anything interesting we needed to know about this sight. She said “Look at the colors of the lava stone”. That’s it . We were so disappointed!

Be Wary - Our tour guide never showed up. The day previous, we attempted confirm by calling the number given. It had been disconnected. We called Viator. They were unable to reach the operator either. I was advised by Viator to expect an email or text confirmation. I received neither. This tour was paid and confirmed months in advance. Don't know what's up with this operator,but I wouldn't book them.
