My tour guide Giovanni was by far one of the best tour guides I have had on any guided tour I have taken. He was so full of life and love for the history of Taormina and Catelmola. He made the trip extra special for all of us. He really made us feel like a family as she called us all day! I am so happy I decided to take the tour with Catania tour and got a chance to meet Giovanni while he showed us the true beauty and history of Taormina

I was lucky to be accepted with Daniele's group even though it was last minute booking and I really enjoyed the experience thanks to the great organisation. Daniele was very careful with his group, and took the time to explain us all the specificities of this mythical volcano, the tour is very complete with a lot of different aspects explored throughout the journey. I totally recommend to book with guidetna.it, you are in safe hands :)

Incredible experience. Pasquale is a very nice and upbeat person. He took us to the best wineries. From the moment he picked us up it was clear that he had the entire day in perfect control. He is always professional and also fun. We really enjoyed the wine and food and the cellar tours. Pasquale even sent us several pictures from the day of fun that we had together. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. The communication was great - I asked Pasquale to arrange to have a cake for my girlfriend's birthday ... he made sure that at every destination there was a cake and everyone sang. He made me look like a hero! Thank you Pasquale!!!
