We were a group of four that were lucky to have Sara as our guide for this tour. As a native of Messina she was actually involved in developing the tour which is a new one for Discover Messina. We thought it was fantastic. Not only did we see the city and the Straits areas, we also got to go to the mountains for some fantastic views of the city, straits and surrounding area. We thought it was a wonderful value and Sara is such a good guide and nice person. We had a great day and ended it with some fantastic sandwiches at Don Minico's under the shade. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR and DISCOVER MESSINA.

Sarah was my tour guide. She came with George the photographer. They were punctual, polite and accommodating. Alcantara was beautiful scenery. They even took us to pharmacy after the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you Sarah and George.

Ma stiamo scherzando?! Nuovamente ci ritroviamo davanti parcheggiatori abusivi ma stavolta ragazzi siciliani che chiedono soldi, e i gestori delle gole che dicono anche “ eh sono ragazzi, qualcosa devono pur guadagnarsi” . Non ci sono parole per la nostra delusione. Per poi arrivare alle gole con un carnaio di gente di tutte le età ed etnie con i piedi immersi in una pozza di acqua, da non riuscire neanche a camminarci. Mai più.

abbiamo visitato le gole ai primi di ottobre periodo fantastico le giornate erano ancora calde e le gole non erano affollate. ci siamo arrivati tramite le scale comunali circa 250 scalini per 1.50€. E' uno spettacolo camminare lungo il fiume tra le rocce laviche nere levigate dall'acqua, Da non perdere
