    M33 is big and although nominally "Bright" for a faint fuzzy and the
    surface brightness is low. To stand a chance of seeing it yourself you
    need to be somewhere very dark and be able to see the Andromeda galaxy
    M31/32 naked eye. If you can then it is an easy find in 7x50 or bigger binoculars and surprisingly big. Like a small glowing cloud.
