Etna Tribe e Totò, una garanzia! - 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!

Walk around Catania - 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.

Unmissable - 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.

Good value - 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..

Small group walking tour of Catania - We learned some interesting information, but the tour was too heavy on religious history and figures and minimal on overall historic events and sites

Ok if you're really short on time in Catania - 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.
