My husband and I immensely enjoyed this tour. Messina was a stop on our cruise ship, so we wanted to make the most of our limited time in port. Our Tour Guide, Lillo, did not disappoint! He arranged for us to take an amazing boat ride (complete with fruit and Prosecco) in Giardini Naxos/Isola Bella. The caves were beautiful! Afterward, we ate the best seafood lunch we had on our entire trip. We spent time in Taormina and visited the Godfather bar and Church in Savoca. We completed our day at the Cathedral of Messina, with Lillo showing us other points of interest in Messina, as well. He even arranged for us to taste some local wine. This tour exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lillo’s friendliness and knowledge of the area, this port stop became our favorite of all the port stops made during our cruise. We made a friend in Lillo that day and will most certainly request his services again when we return to Sicily. Graze!!
