Highly recommended! - Messina has so much to offer, and this walking tour gave us a great overview. We visited the Cathedral, where I loved learning about the clock tower and the history behind it. The highlight for me was walking through the vibrant Piazza Cairoli, where the energy of the city really comes alive. It was the perfect way to get a real feel for Messina.

Walking through Messina! - This tour in Messina was such a cool experience! One highlight was the stunning views of the port, our guide shared stories about Messina’s maritime history, and it felt like we were right in the middle of it all. We also stopped by the Church of the Annunziata dei Catalani, which has this incredible blend of Norman and Arab architecture. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic tour in Messina! - This walking tour was a real treat! We visited the Cathedral, where we got to see the famous astronomical clock, watching it in action was amazing, and our guide explained the story behind it. We also wandered through the lively Piazza del Duomo, soaking in the atmosphere and learning about Messina’s rebuild after the earthquake. It was a great way to dive into the city’s resilience and history. Definitely a must-do if you’re in Messina!

Too damn hard. Lucky we didn’t blow a tendon. - Not guides fault but tour is way way to strenuous. Also tell people the monument at top isn’t worth 5 euros each.
