Exclusive Catania: Taste, History & Hidden Gems Private Tour

Outstanding experience! Our wonderful guide was so very knowledgable and kept it at the pace we wanted! She was amazing! The best tour guide we had across Sicily!

Our tour guide Elena was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She was very pleasant and made our experience wonderful. Nothing was too much for her.

We had booked the Etna tour, but due to rain it was cancelled. As an alternative we opted for the Catania tour. It was a positive choice. Our guide was friendly and explained the whole history of the city. It was a journey through Roman times to the Baroque. During the tour we also tasted arancini with meat sauce and pistachio. It was a learning experience for our children as well. Characteristic and fun is the fish market, wonderful is the cathedral of Santa Agata.

We had a wonderful tour of Catania with our tour guide Elena. She was so very interested in making it a great experience. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city and we learned so much from her. We also got to try local food, desserts and beverages. However, this tour is challenging from a walking perspective so only choose it if in good shape and prepared for walking. All in all, a wonderful day in Catania.

First day of our vacation in Catania and can’t recommend this tour enough! See the sights you want (and more), walk and get a lay of the land (so much to see/do in the immediate area) and best part is Elena, our fantastic guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, shared interesting stories/theories and just a good person. It was like walking around town with a local friend. Thank you Elena; great way to start our trip!

Elena was an excellent guide. Her knowledge of the area and history were superb. We would highly recommend Elena to anyone visiting the area.

We spent a weekend in this beautiful city in october and we relied on Pristelli to get to know every corner. Our guide was very kind and professional. The Roman theater is truly unique. We were also very satisfied with the tasting of traditional Sicilian food and local wine at the end of the excursion

Fabio met us at our hotel at 10 am and for the next 4 hours we were in the hands of a top notch local professional! He not only shared the love of his city, but educated us on the gorgeous architecture and the warm people of Cantania! Don’t miss the opportunity to really learn about Catania from a local that makes you feel like family . We were so delighted we did!

We were very pleased with this tour. Fabio, our tour guide, was outstanding, Extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining and friendly. He selected a great lunch place where he picked the dishes and wines for us to taste at a restaurant called "Razzmataz". Interesting name but food and wines were great and excellent service. We loved all of the sites that we toured. We loved Fabio!

<p>We met our guide from our cruise ship, we avoided paying for overly priced soulless cruise tours. It was immediately clear our guide would be showing us around 'his' city with pride and passion. We casually walked through the local markets seeing Catania in the raw, living and breathing the hustle and bustle of the fish and vegetable markets. We learnt about the rich often violent history of the city through a locals eyes, sipping the shortest espresso EVER! and sampling local fruit and cake. We returned to our cruise after a fascinating insight of a beautiful city, would highly recommend</p>
