Description

Catania is not visited: it is discovered. To reach the heart of the city, you need someone who can guide you from the inside.This tour is led by a true local and is rooted in my personal story: my family, my grandparents, and the places where I grew up. Telling Catania means starting from its people and from streets lived every day. Walking through the historic center, the city reveals itself through memories and shared history:dominations, reconstructions, contradictions, and everyday resilience. A Southern city where past and present coexist, where popular culture meets urban change, and where Mediterranean life is tangible.Only then does Mount Etna come into view: a constant, silent presence that has shaped how Catania was built and imagined. Not a tourist attraction, but an identity woven into its streets and into its people.This is an authentic, participatory tour, open to dialogue and cultural exchange. No staged stories, no sugar-coated version. We will also touch on social and environmental issues, making each experience real and unique.

Best free walking tour I ever had

Constanza lived her in the city you can feel it. She knows the area and the people. We met the owner of a palazzo and the next moment we got a private tour. The atmosphere was great and it was easily the best free walking tour I had so far.

Perfect afternoon with Constanza

If you want to get a glimpse into the authentic mindset of Sicilians and their way of life, Constanza is the right person for you. Witty, resourceful, and full of knowledge, she will fully dedicate herself to you and reveal both the well-known and the lesser-known aspects of Sicily and Catania. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour

I went on tours all over the Europe, but this one is the best and the most unique tour I have ever been. Costanza, the tour guide was amazing, the stories she told, the approach she had, was outside of conventional tour guiding. You can ask Costanza whatever you want, and also you can ask her for any recommendation for places in Catania.
