Weekend a Catania - My daughters and I stayed in Catania for a weekend and chose to take a trip along the coast. The driver, Alfio, proved not only professional, but attentive, helpful and very nice!
Thanks Alfio! We will return to this wonderful land also thanks to your kindness!

Forest craters really leave you speechless.

Tour of Catania with Alfio - My review is for our accompanying driver Alfio, who was super kind, prepared, humble and competent like few others.
If you do this tour ask for him, he is the best.

I definitely recommend! - My 6 year old daughter and I did 4 tours in 5 days with them and had a great time. They are all very professional and kind. in particular Marco, who accompanied us both to Etna and to Acitrezza, is truly TOP. Kind and thoughtful, attentive to every detail, and thanks to his advice we had a great time, in fact in the end we did all the tours they offered (train to Catania; Acitrezza and Acicastello; Etna; train to Etna). I definitely recommend!

Nice experience - We were septic at first and in the end we had a great time! We also had a good driver who was very friendly: Alexandro!
French was offered in the languages of the audio guide inside the bus.

Losing chance of getting up to the top of the Mount Etna - The tour started at 11:30 am and got to Mount Etna at around 1:30 pm when it was expected to be able to purchase tickets for two rides: the cable car and 4x4 bus to go to the top of the mount. Still, unfortunately, it was too late to purchase the 4X4 bus ticket and only the cable car ticket was available for sale up in the mount at the arrival time! The ticket sellers in the store already explained that there was enough time for the two rides away after the arrival time, but it was not so! Therefore, it is important not to take a late morning departure time; sadly the store ticket sellers are not honest with this!

Etna, no buses, choose rental cars - I had chosen this trip because there were 3 free hours and I planned to go up with the cable car and then continue with the Etna Cable Car off-road vehicle. The driver confirms this possibility but when we arrive at 1.30pm he tells us that either we take the cable car straight away or we don't, given that the cable car excursion plus off-road vehicle lasts 2 hours. The math doesn't add up, given that we have 3 hours available, and I tell him so, to which he says that we have to hurry anyway. I hurry to eat something in half an hour (given the time I'm hungry and I don't want to postpone lunch until 4pm!), but then at the ticket office, 2pm, they tell me that I can only take the cable car because the last excursion with the off-road vehicle they do it at 1.45pm. There are two criticisms: the driver could have been clearer in explaining the reasons for the urgency. But above all, the service seems to be organized specifically to prevent or make the off-road tour uncomfortable. Why leave only at 11.30 (note that there is a competing company, but that also leaves the bus at the same time!)? Why waste time in two useless stops in Nicolosi and at a curve from which you can see a hut destroyed by lava, as well as a souvenir stall? Tip: if you go to Catania without a car, rent one to go to Etna, and forget about the buses. Rifugio Sapienza, from where the cable car departs, can also be easily reached with a Panda

Very disappointing - Check-out under a threatening grey sky. We ask the office that seemed not to know where it did not want to discuss it. Even if tickets are non-refundable another date could be offered. And of course up there big rain fog. Anyway, very bad as a day. Not happy with the service it is a money pump!
