You’ll enter a city shaped by the nearby Etna volcano, which locals call “A muntagna”. During your private tour, you will walk among buildings and churches carved in volcanic stone, silent witnesses of centuries of destruction and rebirth.

This private tour takes you beyond the surface: walking in the Piazza Duomo you can admire the iconic Elephant Fountain, guarding the majestic Cathedral of Sant’Agata and discover the history that characterizes them. Then experience a sensory explosion entering the Fish Market, a place where tradition, passion and the freshest catch of the day blend in a symphony of images, sounds and smells.

As you stroll through the lively streets, you’ll hear stories of Catania’s unshakable spirit: its deep love and awe for “a Muntagna” (Etna) and devotion to Saint Agatha
