Sicily · WALKING TOURS IN CATANIA
The good walking tours in Catania go early in a Sicilian summer and the great ones go earlier. Below: the 5 to book first, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk Catania’s old center with an English-speaking licensed guide such as Esther, Maria Luisa, or Matteo. See Piazza Duomo, the cathedral, fish market, Ursino Castle, Via Crociferi, and Piazza Università while picking up useful food, nightlife, shopping, and sightseeing tips.
“Very informative tour, enjoyed it very much. Ester is very knowledgeable tour guide.”
Join a live English- or Italian-speaking guide for a two-hour walk through central Catania. You’ll see Piazza Duomo, the Pescheria fish market, Ursino Castle, Via Crociferi, Piazza Stesicoro, and Piazza dell’Università, with time for historic squares and streets along the way.
Spend three hours walking Catania’s historic center with a local guide such as Luca, Allegra, Giuseppe, or Kate. You’ll make five food stops for arancini, caponata, fried fish, pastries, cannoli, granita, water, and one alcoholic drink while seeing the Fish Market and major sights.
“Giuseppe did a fantastic job! He was engaging, passionate, and easy to follow. He truly cared that we will have a great experience and gave us space to eat while sharing a lot about Sicilian culture. A great experience, would recommend this tour and him a 110%!”
Spend three hours walking Catania with a local guide such as Alessandra, Anna, or Serena, stopping for arancini, horse-meat meatballs, fried fish, cannoli, and more. Morning tours include the fish and food markets, while evening tours add wine and the Benedictine Monastery area.
“We loved the food tour, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.”
Travel from Catania by shuttle with a group of no more than eight. Explore Syracuse’s Neapolis Archaeological Park, walk through Ortigia’s market and cathedral square, and finish in golden Noto. Guides such as Salvatore, Nando, and Lory add history, local tips, and easygoing help.
“It was fantastic, Nando was a delight and very informative combined with relaxed so it was an easy fun day. We saw a lot of amazing sights and finished with gelato and brioche in Noto”
Pick a coast, a volcano or a kitchen.
