5.00We had a great time on the Streaty tour of Catania. Gisella was a wonderful guide who taught us all about the culture and history of this fascinating city while showing us hidden gems above and below ground--and while we got to eat some fantastic food. I highly recommend doing this tour with her!
Perfection!

5.00A flawless journey through Catania's rich food history. From snacks to dessert, it's a full course of Catanese cuisine. Our guide, Gisela, was deeply versed in Catania's cultural, geological, and culinary history. As a chef herself, she took the time to explain how each dish was prepared. She had a genuine love for Catania and it's culinary delights, and was a skilled and enthusiastic guide.
Lots of interesting food...

5.00Giuseppe was fantastic! Not only was the food great, but Giuseppe explained the Sicilian background of each stop with ingredients as well as the history of each of the family business. He also gave us a walking history tour of Catania! If i could give him 10 STARS, I would!!
Fantastic and highly recommend!
