6.Discover Catania from fabulous viewpoints with your personal photographer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $73Best value

Explore Catania with photographer and guide Alessio Auditore, posing at Piazza del Duomo, climbing Sant’Agata’s dome, and visiting Ognina’s seafront. You get private transport, local commentary, and edited color and black-and-white photos delivered digitally.

“Alessio brought me to parts of the city I never would have seen without him and advised me on places to see after we parted. After reviewing my photos he suggested areas where I could learn new techniques so his instructions were both practical and tailor made. As a solo traveller I rarely get photos of myself because I do not trust strangers with my camera. He took many photos of me with my camera. I intend to buy a new camera as soon as I get home and he gave me some assurance about the camera I am thinking of buying.”
