Sicily was one of our...

Nathan_G, Sep 2025

Sicily was one of our favorites and our guide provided a pleasant and safe drive to all of the sites. It was a great experience. Thank you.

Perfect Messina Family Tour

Jennifer_S, Jun 2024

We absolutely loved this tour with Sonia and Fillipo! It felt like old friends picking us up from the port. Both are friendly, warm and extremely knowledgeable. We especially loved hearing about the myths surrounding the different sites in Sicily. The drive itself from the port offered many beautiful views. We loved Giardini Naxos and the restaurant in Castelmola. The food was delicious and views are amazing. Our last stop was the Messina cathedral and we were blessed to be there on the feast day of the Madonna. Both Sonia and Fillipo were patient with our group of 7 including teenage boys and grandparents. Nothing felt rushed yet we covered quite a bit in our day. They got us back to the ship in plenty of time. We loved this port the best out of all our stops. I highly recommend this tour and our guides for your visit to Messina!
