Viator Traveler's Reviews
The 2 hour Messina Walking Tour exceeded our expectations. Communication before doing the tour was excellent and everything went very smoothly finding the location of the tour. The entire staff of Discover Messina were extremely friendly and took time to talk with us personally. Carlotta, our guide, was magnificent. She was extremely informative, knowledgeable, and understood our walking needs. Her personality was very enjoyable and made the tour exciting and interesting.
We were able to see the important sites in central Messina at a comfortable pace and stop in to an authentic local food purveyor to sample some locally grown foods. Our tour guide also showed us a piazza not listed in most guide books but we found a treasure in walking through the Piazza Municipio. She lead us to the Cathedral Piazza in time to see the noon astronomical clock performance. Afterwards, she directed us to some shopping areas, although many of them were closed for siesta.
