What are people saying about Catania

Alice_S, Oct 2026

Highly recommended

This was a nice introduction to traditional foods of Catania. Julia was a lovely guide who provided information about the food as well as Catania. She took us to several places, some of which we returned to a few days later. It was a relaxed walk around the city, sampling different types of foods. A very friendly group to spend a few hours with, tasting traditional foods and chatting. Food tours are a great way to be introduced to a city. Recommended.

Amazing Etna Trek

Danilo was a great guide! He was kinda and social and gave us some really cool information, you can tell he loves what he does. The trek was beautiful because we had unusually clear weather so I felt very lucky! Make sure you dress in layers because it can be cool and also warm since you are climbing a mountain. I was picked up and dropped off from my hotel as well. 10/10 Recommend

Etna Morning Tour from Catania

We had eight people in our group which made it a nice small number so we were able to see everything well. We drove about an hour up to Mount Etna. Our van was an eight passenger van, so it was smaller than your typical tour bus. We were able to see many of Mt. Etna's sights including a lava tube. Paolo, our guide, was the reason I gave this tour a five. He was so knowledgeable and so much fun.

Etna and Alcantara Gorges Excursion with lunch

Amanda_E, Oct 2026

A great Etna adventure!

We really enjoyed our tour of mt. etna and the surrounding areas. It was great getting out of the city and going for a hike in nature. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. The lunch stop felt authentic and had lots of delicious options. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes for the hike portion as well as water shoes for the gorge to be able to comfortably explore all stops on the tour.

Catania Shore Excursion: Catania to Taormina and Castelmola

Kay_Y, Sept 2026

Good instruction of...

Good instruction of meeting point. Our group is 14 ppl, riding with a new, clean Mercedes 20 ppl van. Our driver, Giuesp is a wonderful skillful driver. Tour guild is Chris, he speaks fluent English, giving a detailed information before us getting off the van. One hour at Castelmola, 2.25 hours at Taormina, good enough for sightseeing and have a light meal. I would recommend ppl choose this tour instead of cruise excursion. One thing, it would be great if it can have 15 minutes more for Taromina.

Do not even hesitate to take this tour- it was AMAZING ! Alessandro definitely takes pride he what he does and it shows. From our initial booking, with me sending him a barrage of texts with questions ( via WhatsApp ) he ALWAYS responded in a timely fashion. In addition coordinating our pick up times and drop off with the ships schedule was effortless. The tour itself was so informational and his knowledge down to every last detail was fantastic. Got to see and do a lot of things on this magnificent tour !

Siracusa - Ortigia & Noto Tour

Mary_T, Aug 2026

Martino made the experience!

I was a little concerned before the tour because the day-of ended up being quite hot and we had our 5-month old baby. Martino was our driver and he made it a 10/10 experience. He dropped us off in areas where we could minimize too much time in the direct heat and was very mindful of helping us feel comfortable and have what we needed. He really went above and beyond. Outside of that, the tour was great. Martino was a great driver, the car was clean and he gave us great information at each stop so we knew what to look for. He also was personable and enjoyable to spend the day with while we were driving. This is a great tour if you’re looking for a knowledgeable driver who will give you great information and then you do the actual exploring on your own and meet him back when you’re ready for the next stop. A great way to see these beautiful cities!!

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Susan_F, Jun 2026

Great Experience, filled with surprises!

We had an unforgettable day exploring Mount Etna and visiting the Gambino Winery. Our guide, Martino, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about his land, its history, and the unique culture of the Etna region. His enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful, from the volcanic landscapes to the vineyards thriving in Etna’s fertile volcanic soil. The stop at the honey farm was a great experience, arriving just before the tour groups, making us feel like it was a private tour! The winery visit was a highlight, with excellent wines, delicious local food, and fascinating insights into the winemaking traditions of the area. Martino came through again, he took us to a private part of the vineyard that was quiet and very romantic. On our way back, we stopped at the Chestnut of One Hundred Horses, and then proceeded on our way, only to be surprised again by a gift of delicious Italian cookies.! If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, I highly recommend this tour, and Martino. Thank you, Martino for sharing your passion and making our visit so memorable!
