Catania with its specialities and with a local amazing value for money

This is an excellent trip for those who are not staying in Catania but would like to get a taste pun intended of the city. I got to see and try the local delicacies with a local. It was great that it took me from Taormina and back again after so I didn't have to find my own way there. I had a great time and had some wonderful tastings so thank you

Operator response

Dear customers, Thank you very much for your kind words. We know that evaluating a tour involves many factors, and that perhaps among the most important are the empathy, expertise, and dedication our guides bring to their work. We created this tour—which is somewhat different from many others—specifically to showcase the architectural and culinary beauty of Catania and to offer an authentic Sicilian experience alongside a local. We are delighted when our work and that of our team members is appreciated. We hope to see you soon on our other tours. Thanks again. Greis Sicily Excursions Team

Great tour with delicacies

We were picked up on time. After a longer drive and a bit of traffic we had arrived. After visiting the church we went to the various delicacies. After about 3 hours it went back again. Unfortunately no photo stop and no castle visited. In the early afternoon we were back at the hotel. Thanks to Simone our guide.
