“The Best Tour Guide I Have Ever Had!”
I travel extensively and have been on many, many tours, but Agata's tour of Catania is in a league of its own. I know I will remember it for the rest of my life! What made it so special was Agata's incredible skill in weaving together hard historical facts, funny stories, personal life experiences, and the magical legends of the city.She didn't just guide us; she performed, she educated, and she made us fall in love with Catania. Her passion was infectious, and her unique blend of content kept us captivated from start to finish. If you're in Catania, do not miss the chance to take a tour with Agata. It's an absolute masterpiece!
