Fascinating Ancient History of Catania - As an introductory tour of Catania this was a good way to start our vacation to the area. Our guide gave us an overview of the history of Sicily and Catania, which was helpful during our trip to understand the multicultural origins. We learned a lot on the tour.

Great tour - She has an amazing command of the history of not only Catania but also of Sicily and a great sense of humour. It became particularly interesting as we encountered sites and events. A memorable tour.

Best walking tour - I enjoyed this tour. Learned a lot of interesting facts from our guide Ester about the history of the city within a short period of time, she was even showing old pictures of the places we visited. I would pretty much recommend this tour to everyone.

Perfect guide to historic Catania. - The guide fulfilled his task with gold medal, his knowledge of the area and its history are really remarkable. Unfortunately a knee in trouble did not allow me to fully enjoy his dissertation. My wife, however, took full advantage of it. Highly recommended!

Fascinating Catania Walking Tour - We had an incredibly interesting tour of Catania. Our guide was Sandro (?) who is a professor at University of Catania and he had so many fascinating details of his “home city.” He had a backpack full of additional maps and photos to help explain his points.

Good tour, but could see more - I liked how our leader talked into a microphone and we all had ear pieces to hear her. We saw lots of the city, but I felt we should have gone down to see the theater area. We spent too much time in the fish market. Wish we could have gone into the Cathedral or the university. Could have been included in this tour.

Good tour for the money - A decent tour and the tour guide was very knowledgeable but a couple of issues, it’s a long walk about a mile to get to your start point from cruise ship. Also the tour does focus a lot on religious sites and does not have any breaks to shop or go to bathroom.
