Excellent!

The Aeolian Islands tour from Taormina was a wonderful experience! The trip took about 12 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide was professional and shared a lot of interesting information during the trip while we were travelling in the air-conditioned bus. Upon arrival in Lipari, we were impressed by the old town centre and the archaeological park. And the black beach of the island of Vulcano was a really special sight. The boat trip was comfortable and the scenery was simply breathtaking. I travelled alone in the spring, but the group was very friendly. My only regret was that food and drink was not included in the tour price, but apart from that it was a fantastic day. I recommend it to anyone who loves nature and history!

Kiváló!

Az Aeoli-szigetek túra Taorminából csodálatos élmény volt! Az út nagyjából 12 órás volt, és minden percét élveztem. Az idegenvezetőnk profi volt, és sok érdekes információt osztott meg az út során, miközben a légkondicionált buszon utaztunk. Liparira érve lenyűgözött a régi városközpont és az archeológiai park. A Vulcano sziget fekete strandja pedig igazán különleges látványt nyújtott. A hajóút is kényelmes volt, és a táj egyszerűen lélegzetelállító. Egyedül utaztam tavasszal, de a csoport nagyon barátságos volt. Csak azt sajnálom, hogy az étel és ital nincs benne a túra árban, de ettől eltekintve fantasztikus nap volt. Ajánlom mindenkinek, aki szereti a természetet és a történelmet!
