The best way to explore the city, I suggest to do in the first days, our guide was informative, professional and polite. Highly recommended
The tour with Simona was great! She was born and grew up in Catania and introduced us to it, its history and culture with incredible knowledge and a lot of passion. Was a relaxing walk me and my husband really enjoyed. Highly recommended!
