Stupendo! Ci sono luoghi meravigliosi, e posti nei quali poter mangiare cibi buonissimi e tipici del luogo!
A truly educational and enlightening experience, with spectacular views!
Kudos to the tour company, “Discover Messina”. They did a fabulous job showing and explaining both the fortress of Milazzo and Greek/Roman ruins of Tindaris. Also included in the tour was the church of the Black Madonna. Our tour guide, “Chiara” set a pleasant walking pace and politely and professionally answered all our questions. Her in-depth knowledge of these sites and of ancient Mediterranean history was impressive. Furthermore, our beautiful Messina resident and historian, seamlessly integrated aspects of modern Sicilian cultural with past traditional ethos. This synergy of information brought antiquity to life and gave meaning to the artifacts we observed.
Also, hat-tip to our friendly driver, “Antonio” (Tony) who safely delivered us via the narrow streets of Milazzo and Tindaris.
I highly recommend this tour for its comprehensive scholastic value and breathtaking scenery.
Mariarita was too good
From the cruise we took this tour. The company shore excursions was very good and very easy to deal
with. Especially the guide Mariarita. She was bubbly and energetic. Would certainly recommend
