Things to do in Catania

We had a lovely overall snorkelling trip. There were a few things that could have been a little better. We didnt get any instruction on how to snorkel, we just put it on and were expected to know what to do. Luckily we'd done it once before but some guidance would have been good. We were hoping to be able to use the full face masks as seen in the photos but thry didnt supply these which was disappointing. While our guide was a really lovely lady, her English was very limited so it made the experience less interactive. This was after us booking an English speaking guide. Despite these small issues, we did have a nice snorkelling trip seeing lots of fish and being guided into pretty caves.

The pick-up was punctual, the pick-up location was easy to find, the tour guide/driver had excellent driving skills, and a wealth of knowledge, providing a lively and interesting introduction along the way; the itinerary included visits to local specialty shops (with samples of honey, wine, and olive oil available for tasting), a walk through a volcanic cave (hard hats required for the entire duration, and the tour guide provided each person with a flashlight to use during the cave visit), and a walk on a trail towards the volcano; visiting in January meant that Mount Etna had recently been covered in snow, and the powdery snow covering the trails, combined with the smoking Mount Etna, made for great scenery and an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely the best experience ever! We enjoyed the tour and our guide was amazing. He shared a lot of great information about the craters and answered a our questions. Also we had an amazing tasting time with our group guests. All delicious Sicilian food !!! Thank you for the mesmerising time together!
