Catania Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Delightful mix of wonderful food and a stroll in the beautiful old town. Our guide shared so much to make it a fun and entertaining tour.

What an amazing tour! Alex our guide couldn’t have been better, his knowledge and enthusiasm about volcanoes is never ending and made the trip unforgettable. The wine tasting was an added bonus with food and wine delicious and plentiful in a beautiful chilled setting. Definitely worth the 5 stars!!

Simona and Alessandro are lovely and warm. There was a LOT of food. And also good advice on what to do and see. Despite the heat, we enjoyed seeing the sights and sounds of Catania. I went back to my air-conditioned room and listened to Maria Callas interpretato la Norma di Vincenzo Bellini on full blast!

It was a wonderful trip with our guide Alex. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and gave a great hiking experience! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a nice light hike and good wine, much thanks to Alex again!

Amazing scenery, well maintained facility and knowledgeable guide

Great way to experience the Colosseum and the Roman Forum! We learned so much from our guide. It was one of the highlights of the trip.

We had a great family experience visiting the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine. Lorenzo was a great guide giving us great insights and making the visit really interesting for the entire family. He is really knowledgeable and we learnt a lot with him during the visit. We do really recommend him for this tour.

We had an amazing trip! Our driver and guide Valeria was very friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we have the best time.

We had an amazing day exploring Etna and the Alcantara Gorge. On our way up to Etna from Catania, our guide Alessio brought us to try some local Sicilian flavors such as wine, olive oil, honey and some baked goods. It was great start to the day! From there, Alessio took care us like family. He was very knowledgeable about the volcano as well as the local history and customs of the area and answered all of our questions. He truly is a pro and an all around great guy. Hopefully you’ll get Alessio as your guide too! I highly recommend this experience for you and your family. 10 out of 10!

On June 15, 2026, I participated in the following Etna tour from Hungary, and it turned out to be one of my best decisions. It was one of the best-organized tours I have ever attended. Our guide, Giovanni, presented the workings of Etna, the wildlife, and the unique features surrounding Etna in an extremely professional manner. He was very knowledgeable and extremely thorough; everything was perfectly organized, and I can only recommend both Giovanni and the company below to everyone. Luckily, we were provided with proper hiking boots, which made navigating the terrain easier and we didn't even have to worry about our own shoes. I loved the tour, the fantastic lunch we had, and the excursion to Taormina. I'm glad that despite my initial doubts, I decided to go for it. It turned out to be the best decision.

We had an incredible experience on the Our Lady Etna Tour! The itinerary was fantastic—we explored the lava tunnels, visited a natural lava cave, hiked through the volcanic craters, and finished the day at the breathtaking Alcantara Gorges. What truly made this tour exceptional was our guide Alex. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about volcanoes, and that enthusiasm made every stop so much more interesting. We learned so much about Mount Etna, its geology, and its history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. On top of that, he was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. His energy and passion turned a great itinerary into an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sicily!

We had an incredible experience today. First we stopped to taste honey and a few few different wines. Next we ventured into a lava cave, before arriving at the Silvestri craters at 2000 meters. What an amazing place, we felt like walking on the moon!The final stop was at the Gambino Vineyard, where we had a great wine tasting! The wine was paired perfectly with local food.Our driver Salvo gave us an unforgettable day at Etna, sharing tons of information about Sicily, the volcano and so much more!Thank you so much for this unique and memorable day! 🤩Michelina & Rune

We had a wonderful adventure thanks to Alex – the best guide in the world – who shared his passion and knowledge with us. The same goes for Tiziana, thanks to whom we embarked on a magical journey. Thanks a lot😍

Excellent experience from the driver, Salvo, to the FABULOUS 7 course meal, to the hospitality!! Everything was exceptional and amazing!!! Thank you Angela, Antonella and Salvo!! So glad we got to experience this once in a lifetime event. Highly recommend!!

It was super interesting to explore the different craters on Mt. Etna in understanding how they were formed. We weren't able to take the cable car to the top, but thankful after seeing it. Didn't think it was worth the money to do it. Had a nice lunch and got to try some Sicily treats before heading back to our cruise ship. Gave us the gear which was helpful, especially the shoes

Very nice and super prepared guides (great Iorga), super experience for both adults and children.
