Discover Catania through its bold flavors, market life and volcanic soul on this 3-hour shared street food and culture walking tour (for small groups up to 12 passengers), designed for adventurous foodies and curious travelers.

Meet your guide at Piazza Duomo 3, at the main gate of Palazzo dei Chierici. Streaty guides are easy to recognize: they carry a red bag. After a short introduction, you’ll dive into the city’s authentic food scene with 6 tasting stations and enough samples to substitute a full meal.

On morning departures, you will explore the lively fish market with your local guide, who will interact with vendors and select the specialty of the day. Along the route you’ll also discover major city-center landmarks and hidden corners, including Via Etnea, Castello Ursino, and key historic squares. One of the most unique moments of the tour is access to a hidden underground lava tunnel, where a stream of the Amenano River runs through a volcanic passage (when accessible).

Expect a delicious progression of iconic Sicilian bites—such as arancini and baked deli specialties, seasonal treats and a final dessert (typically granita with brioche or a ricotta-based cake), paired with 3 drinks (beer, wine and local fruit juices). The tour is relaxed and social: think of it as a walk with a knowledgeable local friend, mixing food, history and personal stories that bring Catania to life.

The tour ends along Via Etnea (ending point may vary depending on logistics and accessibility).
