Walking tour through the bustling markets and historical squares of the city centre of Catania to taste the best street food of the city. To visit Catania without savoring the amazing street food available at all hours, from dawn to night, would mean not to have a true vision of the city.

The tour begins with a visit to the Benedictine Monastery, followed by an aperitif featuring horse meat and wine at sunset in the historic setting of Ursino Castle before reaching Piazza Duomo to enjoy the traditional arancino. Finally, the sweet part of the tour will take you through a selection of Sicilian pastry delicacies, including the famous ricotta cannolo, cassatella, and almond paste during the winter months, or refreshing Sicilian granita during the summer months.

Amazing tour. Our guide was excellent and told us lots of interesting history between food stops. All the food was amazing and the whole thing was planned really well - thank you!

Brilliant tour. Food was amazing and the guide was very knowledgeable and kept track of the group really well, even through the busy market. I would definitely recommend. I sampled food I would never normally eat, so it was a great experience

Excellent, lots of delicious local delights to taste. Along with the guided tour by our lovely guide Alexandria we learned a lot of history and knowledge of the present times in Catania too. I joined a lovely couple from New York USA, a Noah from Canada so there were 5 of us including our guide. A lovely thing to do especially when your a solo tourist. I cannot recommend it enough and not expensive.

Our food tour of Catania featured samplings of traditional Sicilian food and wine along with historical background of various sites throughout the city center. Our guide was fantastic and we highly recommend this excursion as a great way to get the flavor and culture of the city.

We really enjoyed this tour. The food was delicious and varied, giving us a real sense of local specialities. In addition, Alassandra gave us a wonderful, friendly and informative tour of the city centre, with insights on its history. The pace was just right, with time to sit, chat and enjoy the food and a leisurely stroll through lovely streets. We have been on food tours in many cities and recommend this one. Alassandra was a delightful hostess, proud of her city, its food and culture.
