A very good introduction to history of Catania under the shadow of Etna Our tour guide Matteo really gave us a really good idea of why Scicily is how it is today. We had the tour in English and a mixed age group we all seem to get exactly what we wanted from it without leaving anyone out.

Mateo is a treasure and we enjoyed our tour so much. He is a natural storyteller and his passion for the region is contagious. The tour was right on time, well organized, and interesting and entertaining from start to finish. The perfect introduction to Catania and Sicily; grazie, Mateo!

Angela was a great guide. You can tell she was passionate about her work and very experienced. We learned a great deal about Catania and actually we now appreciate it more. Definitely recommend the tour!

Mattias is a friendly and knowledgeable guide you get to see more in 2 1/2 hours now than you would in a day exploring on your own.

She did an amazing tour. She has a lot of knowledge of history
