How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Messina from Florence? With 4 connections between 3 Bus and Carpool operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision.
