Description
Meet your expert Sicilian guide ready to eat the streets of Catania! You will start off from the elegant piazza Duomo where you will admire some symbols of Catania. Then dive into the spectacular fish market to experience a day in the life of Sicilians. You will learn the history of the market, the habits of locals, you will see seasonal fish and of course...sample Sicilian delicious fish bites!
This isn't just a food tasting activity, it's a fully immersive cultural experience. You will savor delicious food, raise the glass with other international travelers, but also learn about local history and culture.
The magic of this tour happens above and under Catania: we will take you into a hidden lava tunnel unknown to tourists! Just a little break before delighting your palate again with the best homemade arancini in town made by mamma Agata! Let the colors and the scent of the market seduce you as your guide select for you some fresh seasonal fruit. We want you to experience the market like a local, this including having a cooling break with traditional Catanese fruit juices.
History is everywhere in Catania and we won't miss a chance to show you some stunning attractions like the medieval Castello Ursino or the elegant baroque churches of Via dei Crociferi.
It's all packed in one: a tasting experience, a sicilian drink tasting, a pleasing time with new friends, and a cultural walking tour! This is an unfiltered travel experience.
This tour is the ideal option for curious foodies and travels who want to experience the real sicilian street food. We only offer what locals eat, not what tourists expect.
