Discover Sicily during your port call in Messina

There is no one-size-fits-all itinerary: docking and departure times change from ship to ship, and so does the time you really have ashore.

Tell us when you arrive and when you need to be back on board: we build the tour together, with the stops you care about most and no rushing.

Messina and Sicily, seen with someone who really knows them

I'm Giuseppe, a taxi driver from Messina. I personally take care of my guests: I pick you up at the port, I drive, and along the way I tell you about the places we pass through the way I would tell a friend.

No middlemen and no fifty-seat coaches: we set off without stress, we stop where it is worth stopping, and we get back in time for the ship.
