That title is generous! Basically, the day trip to Stromboli involves 13 hours of hell for 30 mins of mild entertainment from the volcano in Stromboli. We left at 10am...spent 4 hours on a bus/ship (with 200+ people) and stopped at island #1. It was horrendous. There was NOTHING to do. Nothing. We had 2.5 hours here and just ended... More

I took the Syracusa your yesterday. The bus was loaded to total capacity - 79 passengers. Too many for a comfortable tour. Then they left us in Ortigia for nearly 3 hours when shops were closed. You have to pay admission fee (which is advertised) but also for the pa system .. which is not. Not good value for money.

My wife and I took the standard Etna tour with SAT, which at €35 per person basically gets you a coach ride to and from the Etna "base camp". From the base camp you can either wander round some of the lower-level craters or continue up the volcano with a cable car, the Funivia dell'Etna, at an extra cost of... More

Dear RichardJWhitaker, first of all we would like to thank you for writing your personal opinion on the excursion to Mount Etna with SAT Group. The excursion in object is the basic one that goes directly to the Etna South Station at Rifugio Sapienza at 1.900 mts by bus, giving then the possibility to take the cable car and the... More

Just finished the Agrigento and Roman Villa tour. It was a wonderful experience with SAT from booking online and throughout the trip. Federico really delivers excellent service and so was Elizabeth, the guide and Mauricio the driver. The places we visited were stunning and even with the long trip it was comfortable and very worth the trip.

We booked this tour in one of the offices on Corsa Umberto in Taormina. What is described on the brochure and what we got were two competely different things. As we were on a budget we opted for the minimum tour to Mount Etna at 1900metres (€43) knowing that we could change our minds when we got there and pay... More

We booked our trip from the USA because of good reviews on TripAdvisor. Our trip to Lipari and Vulcano with SAT was very pleasant. The Taormina office was also just a few doors from our hotel. We departed on time for the bus ride to the port. The boat was full, but plenty of room for those who wanted to... More
