We took the bus tour thru Discover Messina Sicily. Katia, our tour guide was very knowledgable. She came prepared and explained in detail about the area. She even told us what to eat and where to eat Sicilian food. Swordfish grilled turned to be the speciality of the Toarmina area. Anybody going to tour Messina area as a big group can reach out to her at [email protected]

We had the pleasure of doing a full day excursion with 2 wonderful guides - Sara and Mariarita.
The guides were very inviting, easy to approach and ask questions, and were funny throughout the entire day!
Our group was separated so we did a boat tour up Toarimo waterfront and was able to see the Blue Grotto caves from the boat.
We were disappointed we weren’t able to go in and possibly swing in the caves, but for safety reasons, the caves have been blocked off.
Overall, great experience and would highly recommend!!
