Small-Group Street Food Tour of Catania by Night (All-Inclusive)
Description
Skip the morning heat and join us for a relaxing 3hr walk in the backstreets of Catania. Your local guide will walk you around her favorite food spots to try the traditional street food, such as the baked cipollina, the horse meatballs, some tasty fish recipes and finally ends with the refreshing granita. This is an off the beaten path walking tour. You will try foods you would hardly find on your own like the super crispy crispellas or the horse meatballs! This is the ideal experience for adventurous travelers who want to discover the local culture and avoid touristy stuff!

Lovely and amazing tour with Allegra
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Joe Michael! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the Catania night street food tour with Allegra. She’ll be delighted to know her energy helped make your experience so memorable while discovering the city’s flavors and atmosphere. We hope to welcome you again for another Streaty adventure in Catania, Palermo, Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Bologna and Turin and many other cities!! A big hug from the Streaty crew!
I received the tour as a surprise from my friends for my birthday and was thrilled! Giuseppe was a great guide and shared a lot of interesting information about the food and the city. The group size of 5 people was perfect. As a result, everything was very personal. What I particularly liked was that we tried a lot of things that I wouldn't order for myself, but are authentically Sicilian. And everything was absolutely delicious!! I can only recommend the tour. You get good food and drinks and learn about the city and culture.
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihre Geburtstagsüberraschung ein voller Erfolg war und Sie eine so schöne Zeit mit Giuseppe verbringen konnten. Er wird sich sicherlich freuen zu erfahren, dass Ihnen seine Geschichten über Catania, die lokale Esskultur und die sizilianischen Traditionen in Erinnerung geblieben sind. Besonders schön ist es zu lesen, dass Sie authentische Spezialitäten probieren konnten, die Sie sonst vielleicht nie bestellt hätten – genau solche kulinarischen Entdeckungen machen unsere Touren so besonders. Und bei einer kleinen Gruppe entsteht oft eine persönliche Atmosphäre, die das Erlebnis noch angenehmer macht. Vielen Dank auch für Ihre Empfehlung. Es bedeutet uns viel zu wissen, dass Sie nicht nur das Essen und die Getränke genossen haben, sondern auch einen tieferen Einblick in die Kultur und das Leben in Catania erhalten konnten. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder auf ein weiteres Streaty-Abenteuer zu begrüßen – auch in Palermo, Neapel, Rom, Florenz, Venedig, Bologna und Turin! Liebe Grüße von der ganzen Streaty-Familie und eine große Umarmung vom Streaty-Team!

We had a great food tour with our guide Giuseppe. With a great passion and knowledge, he showed us all of the food and historical highlights that Syracuse had to offer. Giuseppe seems to know all the hidden gems in the city; we visited many great places we would've never found on our own. Definitely worth it!

This was a great way to get to know Catania. Our guide Alessandra was very knowledgeable and was able to pass on some interesting facts about the city with an obvious passion. The street food experience was great, being able to try different foods, even horse! (Which was lovely by the way).

good tour with an experienced guide and lots to sample and see. the food sample whilst good were a bit stodgy a better variety would have been better.
Thank you very much, David, for your kind review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and the guidance of our local host. Just a small note about the food: when it comes to Sicilian street food, the choices are not something we can freely change, as they are dictated by tradition. What we do is carefully select the vendors who specialize in the highest quality of those traditional specialties, so that you get the most authentic experience possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon for another Streaty adventure—maybe in Palermo, Naples, Rome, Venice, Florence, Turin or Bologna! A warm hug from the team!
