Free Tour Catania: Have a Walk with Mirco
♡ Save


We invite you to a unique tour through the best parts of the city, telling you the story, mythology, and culture. I will show you part of the city's folklore and help you discover the best typical street food of Catania!
First of all, let me introduce myself: my name is Mirco, I am 31 years old, and I have been working in the tourism sector for 10 years, offering high-quality experiential tours that avoid the classic, over-touristed paths.
If you have just landed in Catania and you want to orient yourself around the city center, this tour is perfect for you!
In this relaxing walk, I will accompany you and show you the most interesting aspects of the center, from the monumental streets to the nightlife areas and the popular street art. I will tell you about the local area and give you some indications of the city's typical cuisine.
We will slowly cross the entire center, touching the areas of the Fish Market, Castello Ursino, Via Crociferi, and the Roman Amphitheater, until we reach the streets of Catania's nightlife.
I will walk with my inseparable iPad, and during the visit, I will show you old photos of Catania, as well as exciting videos of Mount Etna. Of course, I will also give you tips on typical foods and some local restaurants. My goal is for our walk to feel like a real "outing among friends," so that you can leave this tour feeling a little more enriched!
