This is a nice mix of tasting food and an introduction to the city. Our guide Ambra was lovely - in busier places like the fish market you just need to make sure you are close enough to hear the commentary. You get a little card showing you each stop - after completion you get a little stamp ! There were 6 stops in all and it was fun. We had to leave slightly early but talk to your guide, they may be able to arrange for some types of stops to allow you to visit later - it depends. I would say that the tour lasted for more than 3 hours so if you have arranged something straight after warn your guide in advance. The food tour is mornings only as they want to show you the fish/food market which closes by early afternoon. If you found this review helpful, appreciate a vote !

We met our tour guide Ambra in the Piazza del Duomo. Then she guided us to food stops that included a little bit of everything - meats, cheeses, fried fish, granita, seltzer drinks, and other sweet & salty foods. We had the option to try the horse meat or the fried fish and decided on the fish from the fish market. You get to try everything that's typical in Catania. GO HUNGRY! There is so much food included.
During the food tour she also tells you about history of Catania. Then stamps a "passport" she provides you. Its a unique souvenir that helps you remember all the delicious food!
Ambra is an excellent tour guide! She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She even provided us with other restaurant and shop recommendations that we could go to later.

This weekend we visited Catania and arranged some tours with Sicilying (Cooking class, Etna trekking, Godfather tour and Gastronomic Street food tour). We were excited about the tours, organization, service and very experienced and nice guides. We recommend Sicilying as touroperator for your trips on Sicily.

Utter rubbish. Do not waste your money! Small group was what we booked and there were 30. Completely disorganised and we had to wait at every stop for over 25 mins to receive our food. Anna the tour guide was rude and gave very little history on the tour and would not answer any questions. The trip was for 2.5 hours and it took us over 5. Three quarters of the group abandoned the tour after the third stop. Most of them were old and frail and simply couldn’t manage the walk... never mind the hanging around. The description of the tour needs to be reworded so as people understand, it’s not for frail or people with walking difficulties.
I have used Viator on many occasions around the world and never had a tour as bad as this. Viator you should be ashamed of yourself even offering this tour in the first place. The paper survey Anna asked us to complete at the end of the tour will probably not reach the office because of the ratings from everyone left on the tour.
I might also add Catania is a dump and very dirty city not the Sicily I know.

Hi dear, Thank you very much for your feedback. Indeed we are really sorry that you didn't enjoy the tour at its best! Unfortunately, on that day, we received a very last minute online booking of large group that we only notice at last time. Usually we do not manage so large groups and we prefer to divide participants in smaller groups with different guides, but this time due to this last minute booking, we had not enough time to find other guide immediately available. So, in order to do not start the tour later, we started the tour with one guide and then at third stop of the tour our second guide realize to reach the group and helped and follow the group as additional guide and try get the tour the most easier for everyone. We for sure do not work with rude guides and Anna is very friendly, professional and competent about the story of the city and she tried to get the group all together even when se was alone. The group that left the tour by a taxi had difficult in walking so they prefer to quit the tour as they where a bit tired. We are really sorry that you cannot enjoy the tour and the city anyway we hope you like the food tasted. Best Regards

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food, and the history of Catania.
The walking tour took us through a large part of downtown Catania, and took us from great seafood, to typical Silcilian specialties like Arancini, Cannoli, Selz in different tastes and ice cream. No need to eat breakfast before the tour, as you get quite a nice amount of food. It is a great tour to do on your first or second day, as it will give you great insight in what to eat during your stay in Catania.

We went to etna and Taormina. Weather did not cooperate for Etna. Be prepared for it to be much colder than Catania, obviously. Fog, rain and wind prevented us from doing any excursions at Etna. Taormina is very cool and worth the trip! My only negative feedback on this tour is that the “guide” did not speak a word of English. The sign up sheet and the confirmation said the guide spoke English. He was just a driver. Didn’t offer a word of explanation or alternatives when the weather at Etna didn’t cooperate.

Please never choose this company!! They are true thiefs and no reliable at all. I have booked my experience (1 day sailing) for August in May. Had pre-paid, and at first they left me with no plans calling for an overbooking. When I threatened them to bring them to court, they soon found another experience suitable which then NEVER TOOK PLACE. We went to the port the day of the cruise with my friends and there was no boat for us. Tryed to call Syciling, nobody answered. I had the tour organised for my best friend bachelorette and I was so desperate.

Luckily our day was saved by the great experience and professionalism of IVAN, Sicily sailing experience.
Ivan was at the port and organised a tour for us, in 2 hours, with the amazing skipper TITO of Vela Catania.

I highly recommend you to choose one of the two above to have a safe and awesome sailing day.

If I had more time, I for sure would have brought Syciling to court. Avoid them!!!

Dear Giorgia, We are really sorry to read such words means and menacing that only discredit and threaten honest people that works to assist and let you experience Sicily. Furthermore your description of the event is incomplete and partially false. Indeed the event of overbooking unfortunately happened due to the chaotic situation that we lived in the month of August and we are very sorry of such situation and propose you our excuses many times for such mistake. We immediately communicated to you such troubles and tired to find other solution, that as you can imagine is not so easy and inmediatelty to find in August. We never abandoned you during such moment with phone calls and emails to show you the clear and true situation (that we can easily show and unfortunately we cannot attached as proof in our reply to this review) always asking sorry and proposing alternative solutions such as change of dates or refund. You didn’t accepted our alternatives as you, rightly, organized and coordinated you and your friends for such day sailing. Finally we found an alternative suitable for you on the day you selected with other sailing boat and other skipper that you accepted. So we sent you all the details of the new alternative so you can easily reach and find the boat on the day of your experience, included you have the number of the skipper that was IVAN (check the email of confirmation that we sent us where we indicated that your skipper will be Ivan and his phone number). Ivan was the responsible in charge to welcome you to the port and let you do the sailing boat. He was not a common person that stroll around the port and saved your day! He was there because he was booked by us and was waiting for you and was provided BY US as the alternative proposed. So it is totally false that our tour never happened but it was exactly the tour that you booked with the person in charge that we provided (IVAN) and that we then paid for providing your service (even in this case we can show you the invoice paid to Ivan for your booking) As we mentioned many times we are really sorry for the initial inconvenient of overbooking, but for the rest it is totally unfair to consider us thieves and unreliable and even more menacing with legal action, for something that you enjoyed and we provided to you. We always has been clear and honest with you about the situation and we always assisted you since the initial information, thought the booking process, the inconvenient of the overbooking, possible solutions and finally your experience, that one more time underlined, you had thought Sicilying and NOT by common people that you find to the port. If you want to deep the situation we can provide all documents and email exchange to prove what we affirm. Regards

From the first moment of starting the tour we saw that this was not a tour, it was a transfer to the cities. The person who promptly picks us up did not speak Spanish, nor English, at the request, I presented the phone with the google traslator. Upon arrival in Ortigia, he tells us that one hour he visited her (in his document there were four), when he arrived at Noto maximum two hours (which in his document were three), we were not transferred to the Roman village of Tellaro (We were told That was € 50 more, after discussing wassap with an alleged boss we passed another person who in English tells me that the road is cut). The duration of the tour was 12 hours, in 7 hours we had been dispatched. In summary: We felt scammed and what was a beautiful excursion was a fleeting and stressful ride. The driver was a good person that always tried to do the best, but he does know languages and we think is was not a profesional.

This was a fantastic tour. Not only did we get to try different foods in different venues but we walked through different parts of the city as well. Anna took the time to tell us about different areas we were in and a little bit of history. We went through food markets and shopping districts. The food she had us try was common to these parts and all was very good. She was also very informative on any questions we had. This is one of my favorite tours we did.
