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.

The guide was lovely although, she spoke in German and English very well. My only negative opinion was the guide spoke in German alit more than she did in English. A lot of walking involved in this tour, so definitely wouldn't recommend this for families or people who have nobility issues

I thought the transfer was great to the next pick up point. The main transfer was great also. The guide we had was lovely and did really well talking in German and English. She was kind and gave a lot of information. I felt we had too much time in Reggio though and could have had much more time in Schilla. Felt we didn’t have enough time to look through the streets and go into the shops enough. As Schillia was more pretty.

Overall, we enjoyed this excursion and are glad we went, although there are a few areas where the organisation could be improved. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the places we visited. We really enjoyed both Reggio Calabria and Scilla and appreciated having free time to explore at our own pace. The main issue throughout the day was communication. When we boarded the minibus at the hotel, my 8-year-old and I were seated in the front. There was no booster seat

Enjoyed the places we visited but didn’t enjoy the guide who had to deal with a mixed nationality group and struggled with the microphone. Lots more info was given to the German guests than to us. H&S was very poor. We were left at a truck stop waiting for the coach for 45 mins in full sun then once we joined the coach we stopped 5 mins later for a comfort break at proper services! The guide rushed the group some of whom had mobility issues. We helped them to reach the Piazza. More concerns.....

Initial pick up in mini bus was on time but our transfer to coach was delayed by 30mins due to one of the passengers being ill. There was not much leg room. The guide was not Italian and she had only lived in the country for 10 years and she talked alot about her personal life. We need information on the tour we are doing. Considering Reggio is a city we were not impressed. We did not come to see all the expensive shops and cathedrals are of a plenty. The only highlight of the tour was Scilla.

Es ist sehr interessant, Reggio und Scilla zu besuchen. In Reggio ist vor allem die Strandpromenade schön, und in Scilla ganz besonders das alte Fischerviertel.
