Experience Messina’s food with a passionate guide - Fantastic experience! Highly recommend. The surfaces are easy to walk, our guide Roberto stopped frequently enough to give us the history of the area so we were never tired or bored. Our guides were passionate about this beauty city. The food is amazing and large full sized portions- so come hungry!

Street Food Tour - Our Messina street food tour was fantastic. The tour was quick, which was perfect for our group and fit nicely into our port day schedule. The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved trying authentic Sicilian specialties. Our guide, Roberto, was informative, engaging, and clearly passionate about Sicilian culture and cuisine. He shared great insights along the way that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful way to get a quick glimpse into Sicilian culture while enjoying incredible local food. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Messina for a short stop!

Amazing Tour - Our tour guide was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the city and made the tour fun and interesting. We booked a private tour so we learned so much and were able to get a personalized experience. The food was a bonus to an incredible day.

Convenient, Quick, and Delicious - Really appreciated this tour, as a way to see around the city, get to know some foods and some culture/history. Roberto was super friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job. We started with a savory option (arancino, calzone, etc) which was DELICIOUS and had a beverage as well (local beer). Each person got a whole item, which was very generous. We also stopped for a gelato/cannoli, then for a granita. I realllly appreciate there were vegetarian and even vegan options at every stop! Three hours went pretty quickly and the walk was all flat. The group was under 15, which was perfect. In previous tours elsewhere, I've typically seen shared plates or smaller portions and more stops. I think this tour would really benefit from that. There are so many options, stopping more briefly at each spot and having just a few bites, and more savory options (maybe wine options!) would really up-level this tour.
