(17 reviews)
Catania, Italy

3 hours (approximately)

Experience Catania like a local!
Meet in Piazza Duomo beneath the iconic Elephant Fountain and step into the vibrant heartbeat of this magical, resilient city. Begin with a Sicilian ritual : a refreshing granita with warm brioche — icy sweetness melts on your tongue, brioche adding a comforting note, a true taste of local mornings.
Explore the lively Fish Market, alive with colors, scents of the sea and spices, and melodic calls of vendors. As a licensed tour Leader, I’ll share insider stories and authentic insights, revealing the city’s soul beyond what most visitors see.
Stroll at a relaxed pace through historic streets, vibrant squares, and hidden markets. Questions about local life, customs, and traditions are warmly welcomed. Pause in Bellini Garden, then savor Sicilian street food — arancini, cipolline — paired with bold Etna wine.
A sensory, human journey, where you feel, taste, and connect with Catania like a true local.
