Catania Greeters
Free Walk with a Local
Discover Catania through a free walk with a Local
Catania is the beating heart of east Sicily. Dating back to ancient Greece influenced settlements, Catania is an exciting city continually developing and thriving beneath the shadow of Mount Etna. A Free walking tour with a Greeter is a great way to uncover all the most intriguing facets and tales around Catania. Explore the awe-inspiring Piazza Duomo, sampling the renowned Elephant Fountain with other great sights across the city’s historic centre. Take the lively La Pescheria fish market as locals do for a true taste of Catania or discover a treasure trove of charming courtyards and atmospheric pathways just waiting to be explored.
For an independent and thorough approach to discovering authentic Catania, ask Catania Greeters to meet you. Their dedicated volunteers will offer you a personal, hands on experience of authentic Catania through local knowledge and tips on things only a true resident might know.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
