Experience the best of
Catania with Withlocals

"Agata was fun, knowledgeable, and took us on an adventure we would not have otherwise had without her understanding of our needs and her knowledge of her home country. Great guide and highly recommend the tastings tour. "

"We had a brilliant 3-hour hidden gems tour of Catania with Agata. She was excellent - full of information and stories, adapted the tour on the fly to spend more time in the market (it was so interesting) and gave us lots of tips and recommendations. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend."

"Maria is very knowledgeable about history of Catania, and we tasted foods unique to Catania only."

"Agata is a wonder. Her pride in Catania--its people, history and food--made this far more than a food tour. Catania was our last stop in a month-long trip in Sicily: we had sampled plenty of street food, but we we knew we needed someone local to help us find the best and to give us insight into what makes Catania and its people unique. Agata was perfect for the job: she knows everyone and everyone knows her. We met fishermen and fish mongers as well as ooing and ahhing over the variety of fish; sampled the best arancini at the Antica (1910) Rosticceria Catanese; learned the interesting history of sarde a beccafico while snacking on it at Scirocco; ate carne di cavallo and washed it down with selz, limone e sale. Agata helped us better understand and see first hand how young Catanese chefs are bringing new energy and enthusiasm for their city's amazing street food. Agata's pride in Catania is palpable, even contagious: we couldn't have found a better guide. Grazie mille."

"Our dinner with Gloria was absolutely lovely from beginning to the end. The food and drink were authentic to the region, and taste and presentation were exceptional. Our conversation with Gloria and Nino was comfortable, like being with old friends. I highly recommend this experience during your travels to Catania!"

"Gloria and her husband were such gracious hosts. Dinner was delicious and plenty of it. The setting for dinner was lovely. I would recommend to anyone that would like to experience Sicilian food to definitely do this."

"My family and I had a great time touring with Maria. She was flexible in scheduling an early start ( critical with the heat ! ) Maria was able to provide relevant context to Catania’s historical highlights as we walked the streets and were able to see first hand, buildings, ruins, churches and castles. The addition of the culinary element to the Catania experience was great and was enjoyable to all in our party - vegetarians included. Highly recommended!"

"He Said he will vive me full refund "

"Maria took us to some wonderful eating establishments! One comment to please offer water for drinking with the food as it was hot and we would have liked that option"

"Thank you Gloria for the very special meal! This was a terrific experience Gloria spent so much time explaining her craft. She is amazing cook and a terrific teacher. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a truly special and custom experience!"
