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!Great way to gain an intro to Catania

Maria led us on a tour of Mt. Etna. She was knowledgeable about the history, geology and botany of the area. We all learned something new about Sicily and about volacanos. Maria guided in French beautifully and her English is also excellent. It was a windy day, but we felt confident in Maria’s expertise and judgement which prioritized our safety. Communication prior to the tour was prompt, professional and very helpful. Highly recommend!Really knowledgeable and helpful

Our family of 3 (including a child, age 6) thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Maria Grazia in Catania! She was very friendly and was extremely knowledgable about about Sicilian/Catanian history and about all the local food and drinks! She also did a great job adapting our private tour, both for our personal travel parameters AND due to some establishment closures due to our tour being on a national holiday :) Her food tour was absolutely fantastic. Go hungry, or else you won't be able to enjoy everything on offer!Lovely and DELICIOUS afternoon in Catania
