Catania: Street Food Walking Tour - Taste Authentic Local Delicacies

Our guide was energetic and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful. One of the the other participants had a medical issue and our guide called an ambulance and handled the situation with compassion and professionalism. when the other people left to meet their son/brother at the hospital, we told Irene that she did not need to finish the tour with just us but she insisted and even walked with us to the entrance of the port to make sure we made it back.

Our tour guide, Irene, was charming, witty and fun. This was a delightful mix of visiting the fish market, the food markets, and the huge everything market (clothes, electronics, suitcases, etc) paired with eating along the way. First course, seafood and cheeses (with dipping sauces) and seltzer water. Next, cipollino (spelling?), then arancini, then granita, and finally, a small dessert. Everything was delicious! What a great way to see this beautiful city-eating along the way-and having a charming guide. Highly rate this tour!

The tour was informative about Catania without an overload of historical detail. It was a leisurely pace with a small group- lots of interesting conversation and humour, very relaxing. Our guide Sam showed us the fish market as well as the street market, we stopped to taste a whole range of local foods and drink. Efforts were made to cater for vegetarians, but one of the vegetarians in our group also got tempted to try the meatball (be warned!). What a great way to experience Sicily, we really enjoyed our time with you - thank you Sam and Dan.
