I had a wonderful tour with Alessandra. The food was great, and Alessandra‘s knowledge, familiarity, and love for the city of Catania were a welcome introduction to the city. All of the dishes were delicious, and were uniquely local. I was the only one on the tour, and I appreciated that the tour was not canceled, even though there was only one client. This allowed for Alessandra to answer any, and all questions I had about life in Catania. Thanks for a great experience!
