Wonderful Tour - We had Sara as our wonderful, exuberant tour guide of the city where she was born (Messina), Sara made the tour so much fun, seeing and hearing about the incredible history of Messina, and showing us all that the area has to offer. The tour was, interesting and hit all of the highlights. I highly recommend this informative and enjoyable tour with Sara!

Wonderful!!!! Highly Recommend. - We were a group of four that were lucky to have Sara as our guide for this tour. As a native of Messina she was actually involved in developing the tour which is a new one for Discover Messina. We thought it was fantastic. Not only did we see the city and the Straits areas, we also got to go to the mountains for some fantastic views of the city, straits and surrounding area. We thought it was a wonderful value and Sara is such a good guide and nice person. We had a great day and ended it with some fantastic sandwiches at Don Minico's under the shade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR and DISCOVER MESSINA.
