Great experience! The Stromboli gave us 4x unforgettable eruptions. Unfortunately the ship had been overcrowded. Some of the passengers had to endure the return journey outside...and it was really cold in the evening with the headwind. Still, great island stays, great golf cart taxi rides. We didn't have a guide from the organizer, but we had travel groups on the ship who provided information in German, English, Italian, French and Hungarian.

Based on the information sent on the application, it was possible to plan well (arrival time, parking time, etc.). The route plan sent took me exactly to the meeting point. The ship left exactly from Milazzo and from the stops according to the program. It is a good idea that the departure time is indicated on a sign when leaving.

Everything went according to plan. The bus left more or less on time, we got to the ferry terminal easily and the boat left on time. We got to Panarea and left on time. Sadly, however, it was too choppy to land on Stromboli.

Fabio was an amazing guide. The islands were lovely to explore. Really relaxed day with the highlight being the eruptions on Stromboli

Great value for money. Stromboli erupted quite a few times - but travelling on a Sunday meant few restaurants were open.
