Mini cruise with guide Silvio Resta - I participated in the mini cruise to Lipari and Vulcano on September 23 in the company of the fantastic guide Silvio Resta. I was very happy: the beautiful landscapes and, in particular, I was struck by the skill of the guide Silvio. Exhaustive and engaging explanation! Highly recommended!

Quite a good trip - Overall worth doing. The islands are lovely and the tour on the boat around them fantastic. Lipari was superb. We walked through the lovely streets up to the cathedral and the normal cloisters were beautiful. The views across the sea by the amphitheatre were super too. The town had lots of interesting shops and we indulged in exotic freshly squeezed juices. In Volcano we had a lovely lunch in a restaurant with a lovely sea view. Sadly the mud baths were shut due to an incident a month ago so we were a little disappointed. The beach was very crowded and the smell of hydrogen sulphide from the volcano was not pleasant. But the children found some nice thermal water and enjoyed swimming to the rocks. The return journey was nice and we had a good seat in the top, unlike the tortuous journey out where to stay together we had to stand. There was a lot of pushing and shoving to get back on the boat after Volcano which was not nice. Given that there was probably a full boat load of over 300 people it was not a pleasant part of the trip.

A little taste of the Aeolian Islands, next time with Stromboli. - The crew has guided through the day in several languages. The return journey along the island of Vulcano was very worth seeing. The animation team created a good party atmosphere on the way back on a deck. The black beach with the clear water on Vulcano we liked well. The entry on the return trip from Vulcano was disaster, there was pushing and pushing without regard to casualties, maybe you could coordinate that a little more with barriers. We would have expected more from Lipari. As several tour groups were on board, it was initially a scramble through the narrow streets.

My tour to the Aeolian Islands - During my boat tour to the islands Aeolian of 8/09/2025 I was very disappointed and bitter by the behavior of the guides. I asked simple questions, such as the possibility of swimming in the sea in one of the islands to visit and the time of arriving in Lipari, I received only sarcastic and offensive answers in front of all the passengers. I find this attitude very unprofessional and disrespectful. I believe that a tour guide should be welcoming and helpful, not rude. It's a shame, because the tour itself could have been a pleasant experience but unfortunately it was ruined. Fortunately, on the return journey to Milazzo, the weather became very cheerful and fun, with group dancing and songs Give a title to the

Description is a lie. No English spoken, extra charges when you redeem ticket. - SCAM SCAM SCAM ALERT THERE IS NO ENGLISH SPOKEN AT ALL, including for safety and embarkation times! The description is a LIE! EXTRA FEES WHEN YOU PICK UP TICKET! there is no mention of extra port charges, until after you pay for the activity, and then it’s in the finest of fine prints - not even in the confirmation email, but in one of the foot notes in the app!
