IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TRAVELERS:

The Guiding Sicily Tour Guides, covered by Civil Liability insurance to protect the client, do not just describe Catania in its peculiarities, but build an original itinerary, offering the visitor many possible ways to enjoy it. The planning of the itinerary and the management of the guide service require skills that only a licensed professional can offer. For this reason, this IS NOT a free tour and at the end of the guided visit, we ask the visitor to make a contribution of at least 10 euros per person (children under 10 years old free).
