Walking Food Tour - This Sicilian street food tour in Messina was exceptional. Roberto was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely proud of his city. Each stop offered something delicious, from perfectly crisp arancini to heavenly cannoli and refreshing granite, all while exploring beautiful landmarks like the Cathedral and the Church of the Catalans. It was the perfect mix of culture, flavor, and connection. A must-do experience for anyone who loves food and wants to learn some history while visiting Messina!

Beautiful sites and amazing food! You might not be hungry for dinner. - Roberto was early waiting for the tourist. We had hearing aids to hear him better even though it was a small group. Visited all sites mentioned on trip. The most awesome place was the Bell Tower! A must see!! The food stops were amazing. Roberto was a wonderful guide explaining all the history of the city and answering all our questions. Very personable and funny. Highly recommend!

A Must Do Messina Experience - We just completed this tour with Roberto and it was fantastic. Nothing is better than seeing a new place through the eyes of a local guide while eating fabulous food. Come prepared to have your culinary senses treated to customary food at small eateries where locals eat! This walk was rich in the history and customs of Messina and Sicily. You’ll not regret taking it.
