Exploring Messina with our guide, Chiara, was a day we won’t soon forget! Chiara was very knowledgeable and every minute of our 2 hour walking tour was filled with ancient architecture, fountains, cathedrals and a delicious treat at a local bakery. Most amazing was the Bell Tower, and the history behind it! What a privilege to experience it!

It was as actually only 2 hours. It was good but didn’t cover as much ground as I anticipated. The Canolli was delicious

Shiara our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a good overview of Messina. The puppet theater was something we would not have learned on our own. The cannoli at the end was delicious. Thanks Shiara for making our day in Messina an awesome one.
