Well worth to go to the...
Well worth to go to the active volcano Mt. Etna. Especially if you take the cable car and 4x4 bus to 3000 meters! Please note that this is a “full service” tour. They do everything for you but you pay through the nose! You can save a bundle by driving yourself and paying for the cable car and the 4x4 yourself. But if you want someone to do it for you you can’t go wrong with this tour.
Operator response
I understand the frustration regarding the price, but I would like customers to realize that online booking systems started with 12% commissions, then moved to 20%, and are now at 30% of the total excursion price—plus, they charge a monthly fee just to be listed! If you contact the tour operator Travel In Sicily directly at www.travelinsicily.it you can save a significant amount for same service . Claudio, thank you for your excellent review. Valeria
