We met at the bus station but there was no representative on arrival or any sign indicating you were in the right place. We had to keep asking various coach drivers and showing them out confirmation and they just shrugged as though they’d never heard of GetYourGuide. That part was quite stressful. I was travelling with 2 children aged 13 and 15. The coach journey is long, 1.5 hours there and same back, leaving at 3.30’pm, returning 11.30 pm. Luckily we managed to book a taxi at 11.30 pm to take us back to our hotel. Our guide was very good. We did 2 walks at various stages up the volcano lasting around 20 mins each, where you see the smoking craters then back to the main area where we had dinner. It was a great trip but I wouldn’t do it again.

I recommend this excursion, easy with little walking, to admire a magnificent sunset at 3000m in height. Stunning view of 2 summit craters. We were lucky to come across a guide who speaks French, who gave us precise and interesting explanations about the life of the volcano. Small flats; we couldn't go beyond 3000m because it was too dangerous with the recent eruption and we depended a lot on the rest of the group (return to Taormina late because of the restaurant's high traffic).

Technology, landscape and view were great. The guides from SAT were super committed and took care of us. Unfortunately, the alpine guide on the mountain only spoke Italian. That's why I didn't understand anything anymore. The food was good and affordable. Of the 9 hours we spent about 6-7 in buses. A little more time on the “summit” would be appropriate. I didn't have time to take any more photos after the meal. But it was worth it for the view.
