Giesla was a great guide!! She told us so much about the history of the city. She was friendly and we felt like we really got an insiders tour of the market and city center. The food and drinks were fantastic and she also provided a dinner recommendation!
We had a great tour with Giselle in the evening. We were lucky enough to experience a small tour with just five people and Giselle. She made the tour very interesting and also gave us lots of historical facts about Catania. All the street food spots were delicious and authentic!
This food tour exceeded my expectations! Gisella was so engaging and fun. She did an incredible job weaving the history of Sicily and Catania into the tour, all while filling us up with the most delicious treats. I was only in Catania for one day and am so happy I spent my time on this! Highly recommend.
GISELLA WAS AMAZING! She gave a deep history of Catania, the food origins and the stories of the food. She included kids nicely. She was operating closely with the restaurants where we stopped for the foods so the tour was organized and relaxed with the information we didnt even know to ask. Additionally we met some other nice tourists. You wont regret the tour!
What an awesome tour. Experiencing the street foods of catania was the best. Gisela made the whole walk fun and tasty. Plus she really new the history of the area and gave us more than we paid for👍🏻
