It was a long day but worth it for a taste of life in Sicily. About a 3 hour drive to the ferry with a short break on the way. The coach drove us straight on to the ferry and before I realised we were on the way. The ferry only took about 15 mins so we head no sooner left the coach to sit on the ferry than it was time to get back on the coach again. Another fairly long coach journey then we had 3 hours to ourselves in Taormina which is lovely..

The trip was far too long on the coach picking up/ dropping off customers- approximately 5 hours so the time in Taormina was quite short. It would have been nice to have an hour or 2 in Messina or at the coastal part of Tarmi a. Using smaller feeder coaches would cut the overall travel time as the roads in Calabria are slow so doing as is done in Krakow would help by having smaller vehicles bring people to a central point. Taormina lovely. 8.5 hours travel wrong balance

It was good to see a different place. We had been considering Sicily for a future holiday so it was good to see what it had to offer, even though we only saw a small part of it. It was a very long day but our guide and driver were excellent. We were the only English people on the trip, all others were German but our guide spoke English and German very well and kept us informed all the time.

It should be made clearer the length of time travelling on the coach. From Cala di Volpa. Pick up was 7.30am and we didn’t get back to the hotel until 7.45pm. Also both guides left the bus before our hotel. We were dropped off on Stromboli at the side of the road in the dark and had no idea whether the hotel knew to send the shuttle bus for us. I used the torch on my phone and walked back in the dark with another couple. Some stayed and waited. Guide should be there until all clients safely back

Sicily was fabulous. The place we visited was stunning and I’d definitely go again. There were 2 guides on the coach and unfortunately the German one liked to have the microphone so the English guide didn’t get to tell us much. It all seemed aimed for the Germans. It was also a lot of travelling which is fine if you know that you actually only get about 3.5 hours in Taormina. I thought we also got time in Messina but this was just a look around the church.

Lovely trip from Calabria to Sicily by coach and ferry across Messina Strait. Ferry was good fun and great opportunity to have a drink and a snack. The coach trip was a lot longer than expected so a little frustrating. We would have enjoyed it if there was less traffic and some entertainment on the bus. Taormina was excellent; busy but friendly. The Amphitheatre is mandatory and good value at €10 for adults. Free for children. The excellent Narcisse perfumery is thoroughly recommended.

This trip was very much structured by the needs of the guide. The restaurant recommended by the guide provided the group with a different menu to its other diners…ie. the menu with various deals and ‘small bites’, and the flyer I received in the street which was promoting these deals was swiftly removed from me as I sat down. Additionally, in Messina (where we spent about 30 minutes) we were rushed around the cathedral (which our guide was ‘surprised’ about being open…odd considering the tour d

The experience of travelling to Sicily was great. But this is not a tour, just a supervised taxi service across, then left to tour alone. It should be made very clear this is what you are booking. Some people may enjoy the alone time in a shopping tourist area, we booked for a heritage tour expecting just that. Worth it just see some of sicily, and the 'tour guide' was lovely. But not worthy of the costs.

Excellent guide and driver on the trip. Stunning views of Mt Etna from Taormina. I felt the trip was quite expensive with a lot of time spent in the coach but overall an interesting and enjoyable excursion.
