Wonderful experience with our tour guide who is a native of Catania! Would highly recommend him to others!

Cancelledby operator at short notice

John_C, Jun 2026

Walking tour was cancelled at short notice (11.30PM the night before) for a 10AM tour the next morning. It would appear from previous reviews this is not the first time recently that this tour operator has canceled this tour in this way. No excuse and no apology.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused. We currently have no record or evidence of this particular situation, but we will certainly pay closer attention to any similar reports or incidents in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Ester was a fantastic guide. She taught us a lot about the history of Catania. She is very knowledgeable and her English is superb!

Excellent overview of all the areas of interest.

Chris_S, Jan 2026

Excellent tour that hits the highlights of the Catania area with enough info for you to create follow up visits if you want to explore some areas more in depth.

Great tour, top guide.

SAJI_S, Jul 2025

Very knowledgeable tour guide , things are beautifully narrated. Amazing to understand history around these places.

Tour was informative but...

David_J, May 2025

Tour was informative but nothing exceptional. The town has an interesting history and its proximity to Mt Etna makes for an extraordinary backdrop.

Ok if you're really short on time in Catania

Ronald_S, Jun 2023

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.

Great Introduction to Catania

jpoppjr, May 2023

Excellent guide and nice pace. Really enjoyed this tour. We saw many important sites and also learned a great deal about the history of the city. Highly recommended.

Great Quick tour of Catania.

Cindy_P, Apr 2023

We had a lovely morning with our tour guide Esther walking around Catania, Sicily. She had a wealth of information on the history of the area, and shared pictures that made the story come alive. Would recommend this tour.

Tour is a must to appreciate Catania!

Carla_S, Sep 2022

Angela was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. The small group tour worked out well and was not too big. The duration was perfect. Catania is a more busy city and Angela helped us learn about the sites and history which we would otherwise have missed.

A Beautiful Guided Tour
