Lava in Catania - Our tour guide, Esandro, was a gifted professional, with a Geograpy qualification and a sound knowledge of geology, and local history, which made his explanations of this city, where lava has played such a significant part, so interesting.

Excellence in historical walking tours - The walking tour was wonderful. The guide had been a college professor. His knowledge of the area, customs, and historical significance was outstanding.

Do not miss the knowledge-filled and exciting tour of Mateo!!! - I lived this magical experience thanks to Mateo! I have taken the most beautiful pictures and knowledge with me in Greece! Thank you very much for this wonderful tour! Mateo, you are a treasure of knowledge and kindness! It seems that you love to convey every detail of your wonderful city!All those who watched your tour of the beauties of Catania are surely richer than knowledge! It is worth doing this activity in case you are in Sicily! I stayed 6 days in Catania and the day I lived this magical tour is one of the best moments of my trip! Your joy when you learned that I am from Greece and all the historical details will remain memorable! Mateo thank you very much!!!

What a bore - This is not a tour but a history and geography lesson. An hour and a half without doing a meter with panegyric on Sant'Agata (with all due respect to the Saint but who cares?) seen practically nothing of Catania. I always do these tours when I visit a city to see landmarks and sites to visit. This time it was useless as well as boring.

Canceled on me last minute - Canceled my tour 1 hour before it was supposed to start. Now I have nothing planned for the morning and won't be able to book any other activities during this time slot. Other tours had the decency to cancel at least a few days in advance.
