About this tour
A 2h 20m–2h 40m guided pub crawl through three of Catania's popular bars, led by a local guide from the Old Town. You'll play ice-breaker games, sample snacks, and meet other travellers in Catania's social scene. Drinks aren't included but venues are deliberately affordable. Suits solo travellers and groups looking to connect over a night out, not a structured bar tour with table service.
Highlights
- Three popular bars in one evening with a local Old Town guide
- Ice-breaker games designed to help you meet other travellers
- Affordable bar venues — you pay as you go for drinks
- Snacks included at each stop
- Mix of locals and travellers in the same group experience
- Freedom to continue the night with new friends after the crawl ends
- Suitable for solo travellers keen to socialise
What to expect
You'll meet your local guide and small group at a set point, then walk to the first bar in the Old Town area. Expect 20–30 minutes at each of the three venues, with ice-breaker games woven in to help you connect with others in your group. You'll order and pay for your own drinks at each stop; snacks are provided. The pace is social rather than rushed — there's time to chat and get comfortable with your group members.
After the third bar, the formal crawl wraps up. At that point, you're free to stay out with the new friends you've made, head elsewhere, or call it a night. The whole experience is designed to feel casual and sociable rather than heavily structured.

Good to know
This crawl works well for solo travellers, small groups, and anyone wanting to meet people in Catania's nightlife without the pressure of a big tour. It's a genuine social night out, not a sightseeing tour that happens to visit bars. Note: the tour isn't suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns or are pregnant. It involves walking between venues and standing for several hours, so reasonable fitness is expected. The Old Town is generally walkable and safe at night, but expect crowded bars, especially weekends. Drinks cost extra and aren't subsidised — venues are cheap, but budget accordingly. No tip is required for your guide, though gratuities are appreciated in Sicily.
