A 9-hour boat day trip from Milazzo to Lipari and Vulcano, with Old Town time, volcano viewpoints, and sulfur thermal fun.
“The islands are beautiful. There’s plenty of time to have a look around and explore. When you get off of the boat, there are some bus tours available (15-20€ per person depending on group size) which didn’t seem to be affiliated with the boat company. We decided to just wander around ourselves and we had a great time. The package includes transport to and from the islands from the port of Milazzo. On the way back, we were serenaded by the lovely Giuseppe. All in all, we would definitely recommend!”
14-hour motorboat cruise from Taormina to Panarea and Stromboli, with village walks and night eruptions of Sciara del Fuoco.
“Good tour, however a couple of minor concerns. First being after paying for the tour and on the bus, we were advised that their was an additional 5 euro per person. This was not set out previously. Second was the ferry was packed and we were like sardines. I would hate to have been an older traveller. There were people leaving their bags across seats and children sprawling and taking up space. If I’m paying for a tour, I expect to st least get a seat. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we were priveleged to see Stromboli erupt 5 times”
10-hour Milazzo cruise to Panarea and Stromboli, with San Pietro strolling, volcanic islets by boat, and Stromboli’s fiery sunset view.
“Trip was very enjoyable. It was great to see the islands and especially Stromboli. We would recommend this activity.”
Day boat trip from Tropea to Lipari, Panarea, and Stromboli at night, timed for Sciara del Fuoco and volcanic beaches.
“Tolle Tour mit vielen Highlights. Rückfahrt zieht sich etwas. Könnte mit etwas Musik kurzweiliger gestaltet werden”

“Très bon guide ! Avec une excellente réactivité.”

A guided 2.5-hour Messina walk timed for the cathedral clock show, plus mosaics, Norman-Arab churches, and a puppet museum with Sicilian treats.
“Well thought out plan to see the city, except for the very end. The company had two groups out at the same time and they both ended at the same exact spot, which created a little mayhem. But overall it was an enjoyable time, Ciara knew her city well.”
