5.00We had such a nice morning in the beautiful town of Messina. We enjoyed our time tasting specialties of the area and seeing the sites. Daniela is a lovely guide. We enjoyed her company and learning about the beautiful place she calls home.
What a great experience!

5.00We had such a good time with our guide on this street food tour. We expected to be in a small group but it ended up just being our family and our guide, who started us off with granita (almost like a slush-y breast fast ice cream that you dip your bun into) in lots of different flavors. Next we stopped for aroncino and got to pick any flavor we wanted from over 20 options. Delicious! Finally our guide changed plans once he learned that one member of our group wasn't big on fried items- we ended up at a third place that had lots of various lunch offerings along with cannoli, tiramisu, and various other desserts. We finished our tour stuffed and happy. Our guide was kind, caring and accommodating and overall even our teens agreed that it was a highlight of our trip!
Great food, great guide!

5.00My family thoroughly enjoyed this food tour. The dishes were all delicious and the guide super friendly and knowledgeable. It was a highlight of our mediterranean cruise. We highly recommend it! Through emails and messages on the Viator app, we knew exactly where to meet our guide. It was a walking tour, but the port is so close to the heart of Messina, it was easy. Highly recommend!
Awesome taste of Sicily

5.00My tour with Rossella and her husband was truly so lovely. Starting and ending in Piazza Duomo, we tasted at 3 different food places - an antipasto, then some arancini and ending with a gorgeous cannoli and cappuccino before watching the bell tower show in the Piazza at noon. I learned so much about Messina and got the true local perspective. Very happy I did this!
Sicily at its best
