Never turned up, no communication

1.00The bus never turned up to our hotel to pick us up, and we waited over an hour and a half. When we tried to contact the tour company, we had no reply, and have still heard nothing from them, days later. Their phone number seems to be inactive, and even Viator could not get through to them on our behalf. We ended up spending much, much more by organising our own train journey to Taormina, and a separate, more expensive Etna trip (through a different company) on a different day. Viator gave us a full refund, but it would have been nice to have been compensated for our wasted time and money by the tour company, or even receive a sorry from them! Don't even waste your time booking.
A great tour

5.00We were a party of three going om this trip. We went with a mini van with another couple. Plenty of space. The driver Emanuelle and the guide Maria Luisa did a very good job together. Together we decided to stay longer in Taormina and a shorter period of time at Etna, it was chilly in October! We were very satisfied with our trip.

4.00No critical remarks about our guide and logistics (pickup, etc.). It was absolutely OK. However, the value for money can be questioned. I was picked up from Syracuse at 7:30 am and was transported back to my hotel around 7:00 pm. Out of this only 1.5 hours on Etna parking 2000 m above sea level and łess than 2 hours in Taormina center. The remaining 8 hours I spent in the bus.or in the car.
Memorable day!

5.00Really well organised trip to see Etna and Taormina accompanied by a really knowledgeable and helpful guide. We also had plenty of time to explore both places on our own. A memorable day!
