Did not include any stops to go into anything but a church we’d seen already and one other church -so it’s just a drive by buildings. Guide was very hard to understand and the script was not great— ie “an important artist” - but why? Lots of riding ON the street in bike lanes so very hard to “look around”. Not safe for kids, nighttime was scary no lights on segways!

We really enjoyed seeing Messina by Segway. Our tour guide was a local and provided a lot of information about the city. It was a great way to see the city. The meeting point was correct in all of our communications but the guide was a few minutes late and there wasn’t any signage or Segways anywhere so we thought we were in the wrong place. We called the host and waited a few minutes for our guide to show up.

This was truly a unique way to buzz about the city and learn of its history and highlights. Our guide was very cautious and showed the the city on this fun tour. I had experienced a Segway before, but it was new for my husband. They kindly and carefully taught him how during the little training part and off we went. Up and down the hills of the city like a breeze stopping often for him to share the history and stories of the people. We would recommend this tour.

We (family of 4 with mom, dad, and 2 teens) did this as a shore excursion during a cruise ship stop in Messina. This tour was awesome, and way better than anything the cruise ship had to offer. We met the guides literally 5 minutes from the ship. We had a brief introduction from our patient tour guides on riding a Segway. My wife was a little intimidates, but they patiently walked her through it. Then we were off, with guides in front and behind us. We felt very safe the whole way. During the ride, we listened to an overview of what we were seeing from the guide behind us. it was very informative. We stopped at a few places for photos, including an overlook of Messina. At the end, we also stopped for Granitas (google it) at a place for locals and had a very authentic experience. We had a ton of fun riding the Segways, felt safe the whole way, and saw more of Messina than any walking tour or bus tour possibly could. I highly recommend.
