Taking in both ‘Italy's most beautiful kilometre' and ‘the Calabrian Venice,' this tour is big on beauty. First up is free time in Reggio Calabria, the ‘toe of Italy'. Then, it's onward to the fishing village of Scilla. Enjoy a guided walk around Chianalea, before an optional visit to the medieval castle.

Start off in Reggio Calabria, where you can stroll along the statue-lined promenade with views across the Strait of Messina to Sicily, or visit the Museum of Magna Graecia, home to the renowned "Bronzi" of Riace. For the shopping aficionados, Corso Garibaldi offers chic boutiques.

Your day continues with a visit to the charming Scilla, known as the 'Calabrian Venice.' Here, you'll find a medieval castle perched above the Strait of Messina, great for panoramic views. Wander the picturesque fishermen's district, where houses stand as if dipping their toes in the water.

Maxine the guide was great and very informative. Enzo the driver was very good too. The time in Reggio could have done with being an hour or so longer to enable more time to look around and have lunch. The right amount of time in Scilla. Lovely to see the local area

Guide was brilliant she had audio guide equipment so we only had to listen to English. We did both her guided walking tours which were great. When booking the trip people should be advised about the walking we did over 6 miles. A few in our group were struggling

Lovely day but personally I could have done with more time in Reggio and less time in Scilla as I’m not really into beach visits.

the whole of the tour was very intersting , the guide was very attentive with the different langusges . she gave her time to every individual.. the two areas where we visited was stunning.. the swordfish sandwich was delicious in scilla

We enjoyed the trip because it was interesting and gave us a chance to see a different area. The return journey was very long and there were no working audio guides.

I spent 2 hours travelling in the opposite direction to the tour picking people up. Majority of the shops in Reggio Calabria were shut by the time we arrived. We didn't get to spend enough time in Scilla. The tour guide was predominantly taking the tour in German and did her best to give an English alternative but thought this should have been better. The toilets on the first journey stop were awful.
