Visit Catania with a British Polyglot
Hi, my name is Natalie Maria Facenna, I am a native English speaker from the United Kingdom of Italian origin and I have been living in Italy for 16 years. I became an official licensed tour guide in 2017 in the city of Palermo where I lived for 9 years and subsequently moved to Catania where I currently live. I graduated from the University of Glasgow in Hispanic Studies and I am a polyglot (Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan). I also completed a Masters in Tourism Management at a University in Milan and I have studied in Spain and Brazil.
I am a cultural expert and my specialties are the Baroque era, religious tourism, esoteric and popular tradition. I can tailor-make tours to meet the demands of the tourist and make them memorable for years to come.
Read about my tour and don't hesitate to contact me for further information. Come to Catania, you won't regret it.
Natalie is a great tour guide! She provided us with many interesting stories and legends, we saw the most important places, we learned about history of this region. She was also really considerate of non-English speakers (we were one big group with no other people, so no one had to wait) because she was making pauses so that we (English speakers) could translate what she just said for those and even without that they were really impressed and charmed by her energy and charisma. I really recommend this tour!
sehr kompetente und vorbereitete Reiseführerin. würde sie jederzeit wieder buchen. Großartig!
Natalie was extremely professional and knowledgeable, but also friendly and approachable. This combination led to a perfect tour for us. Her passion for her craft was always evident, and it was clear she was not simply “going through the motions “. Furthermore, her knowledge of even the smallest details at each stop was beyond impressive. I would highly recommend Natalie for a wonderful tour of Catania, or anywhere else!
Not a typical just history of the place tour. Natalia adds interesting details that are surprising and at times funny. Really apreciated it was covering the different powers at play that shaped today's Catania. Natalia is very energetic and fun guide, she answered all my questions and we had interesting discussions.
Ottima guida, la consigliamo.
