The tour was informative about Catania without an overload of historical detail. It was a leisurely pace with a small group- lots of interesting conversation and humour, very relaxing. Our guide Sam showed us the fish market as well as the street market, we stopped to taste a whole range of local foods and drink. Efforts were made to cater for vegetarians, but one of the vegetarians in our group also got tempted to try the meatball (be warned!). What a great way to experience Sicily, we really enjoyed our time with you - thank you Sam and Dan.
