Excellent. Out English speaking guide was awesome. She covered a wide range of locations and history. She was easy to understand and made sure her guests were able to keep up on the walking tour. She was courteous and always looked out for the group. She did a wonderful job and we highly recommend her and this tour.

… eine super tour zum kennenlernen der stadt catania, sowie ihrer entstehung und geschichte. wir hatten eine catanierin als guide, die die tour sehr interessant und kurzweilig gestaltete und uns die bedeutensten höhepunkte der stadt catania zeigte. die führung war in englischer sprache. jederzeit konnten wir fragen stellen, die fachkundig und humorvoll beantwortet wurden. zum ende unserer führung bekamen wir einen sehr guten tipp, wo man gut und landestypisch essen kann. auch da wurden wir nicht enttäuscht. alles in allem eine sehr gute tour, die wir uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen können.
