I recommend this tour to anyone who has just arrived in Catania. The guide is very competent and accompanied us to discover the historic center of Catania. He kept his attention always lively, also recommending a much appreciated "off tour" (ie going to see the Greek-Roman theater instead of the Roman amphitheater being restored). It only lasts 2 hours but allows you to have a clear view of the city.

We really enjoyed the walking tour. Our guide was both informative and was receptive to the questions that everyone asked. We also felt that he really liked telling us the history that went along with the different places that we got to see. I would definitely recommend our guide and the tour that the took us on.

Experience to do absolutely. The guide, a very prepared man, first explained the history of the various invasions in Silicia x then explain Catania. We started from Piazza Municipio ... then the wonderful fish market ..... and so we traveled over 2 hours understanding the beauty of this city. Bravo bravo bravo
