Messina’s campanile is a must see

I am glad I visited Messina and was able to see the bell tower at noon. It was absolutely amazing. Carmine was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and made sure I saw the highlights of Messina. Nino was a great driver. The only reason I gave this less than 5 stars is because the price was not worth it. At least not for a solo traveler.
