"I had a fantastic culinary tour with Simona Maria as she took us to some of the best food spots in Catania. All while providing the history of the city. She answered all of our questions and was such a delight during our whole tour. I highly recommend her!! "

The Highlight of Our Trip
"By far this tour was the best activity we did in Catania! Mirco was fun and knowledgable. We asked him so many questions not just about food but also life in Italy which he was happy to answer. Each food stop was unique and off the tourist track. Highly recommend to feel like a local for a few hours! "
"Mirco is an excellent guide. We met in the town square by the fish market. From there Mirco led us on a fun food adventure around the center of town. We tried many of the local foods and drinks. Mirco is intelligent knowledgeable and funny. We had a terrific tour. "
"Absolutely unforgettable! This walking food tour in Catania is a vibrant, flavor-packed journey through the heart of Sicilian culture. From the moment we stepped into the bustling fish market, rich with the scent of the sea and the shouts of vendors, we knew we were in for something special. Our guide, Agatha, is a passionate local, who effortlessly blended history, tradition, and humor, making each stop feel like a story unfolding.
The fresh fruit and marinated olives were a perfect opener, bursting with Mediterranean sunshine. Then came the sun-dried tomatoes—intensely rich and perfectly chewy—followed by a descent into a hidden lava cave that gave us a breathtaking glimpse into Catania’s volcanic roots.
The food got bolder and more unforgettable with every bite. The horse meatballs were tender and surprisingly delicate, while the grilled spring onion wrapped in bacon was smoky, sweet, and utterly addictive. The rice ball filled with donkey meat and pistachios was the most unexpected delight of the day—comforting yet complex, and deeply Sicilian.
We ended with a refreshing grenadine paired with soft brioche, the perfect sweet note to close the tour. Throughout, the conversations with locals brought an authenticity that no guidebook could offer. Their stories, traditions, and pride in their cuisine gave every bite deeper meaning.
This tour is an absolute must-do in Catania—an immersive, soulful, and delicious adventure that leaves you full in every sense of the word."

Excellent tour!
"We experienced all different foods in different parts of the city! All were delicious and spotlighted the many foods that Catania has to offer. Don’t miss this tour! It’s great to do at the beginning of your stay so you know the best places to eat!"
"Giuseppe is a fantastic host, with excellent knowledge of the city and the best places to eat authentically! We had a large group (9) and he was incredibly accommodating and ensured those of us with allergies were also catered for.
He was friendly, good humoured and fitted in perfectly. We enjoyed a lengthy lunch together after the tour, which was a bonus!
We cannot recommend this experience, and Giuseppe, enough. The food was excellent, and from places you would never go to without a local! Thank you Giuseppe, for a wonderful day!"
"We did a street art tour with Agata but I would recommend her for any of her tours. Her depth of knowledge and her great presentation make her a superior guide. I have been on many tours and yesterday’s Catania street art tour was among the best I have experienced. Grazie!"
"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."
