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.

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.

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.

Very much enjoyed both places - Scilla is stunning.. What I didn't enjoy was travelling completely in the opposite direction to Pizzo having been picked up in Parghelia to pick up more customers there. Surely they should have been picked up first, it meant losing about 1.5 hours.

The pick was on time but had to cross a main road to board. There was no check or communication as we boarded. The day was extended by at least 1.5 hours to pick up a small group a Tui Magic in Pizzo. The day was generally ok and the driver was good -Enzo as was the guide-Mimi. Providing the dialogue in English and German was problematic but ok.

A great day but a long one. There are several pick ups from different hotels which elongates an already fully day. Betty our tour guide was superb, funny and so much help when my sister in law lossy cash. She tracked back through the town w her and eventually tracked it down to the Cathedral. Her colleague dropped it back on their next trip. Can’t ask for more than that

It was an extremely long day especially on the coach. We were among the last to be picked up so were on the coach at 9am and returned 6.30pm as we had to travel around dropping everyone off. It could have been improved with a complimentary drink somewhere. A lovely opportunity to see a bit of Calabria but smaller vehicles would have meant less time for everyone on the coach.
