    Trip to Etna and Modica is really nice if you have small kids with you. Otherwise I don't recommend it at all. 1.5 hrs is not enough to reach to mountain at the highest places, it takes 2 hrs to go up and down again so 2.5 hrs should be enough. While driving back and before visiting Modica the sun was mostly shining against the driving way so was hard to take good photos. From the positive side: if you are with really small kids then 1.5 hrs up in the mountain with no real mountain and 1.5 hrs in Modica is nice to have trip. Otherwise I don't recomment it at all.

    The tour was very well organised. We were on holidays in Malta with our children. They wanted to visit Italy but we had a short stay so Sicily for the day was the best we could do. They and us had a ball. We were given some two hours or so to look around Taormina and then they took us to Mt Etna. We walked around Sylvester crater. After about an hour or so we were back on the bus for the trip home. Overall if you have a short stay in Malta this is a great way to see some of Sicily.

    19 hours for 20 only mins on Mt Etna! Coach OK, Ferry OK, Itinerary...absolute crap. Driven to a Tourist Trap (Taormina) which is still living on it's past links to Colleridge. Pretty enough, but they drop you off at a specific restaurant for 2hrs (the ferry company has an affiliation with them). If you don't want to eat there, you have to wander the streets trying to avoid the souvenir shops and street sellers. Then off to an unscheduled stop at an artisan oil/wine and herb centre (the coach drive had an arrangement with them)...another hour wasted. Eventually arrived at the Cable Car up Mt Etna at 4pm...11 hours after setting off! That was bad enough, but the guide disappeared and when we found and went up using the Cable Car (it takes 20 mins to get up) we were told we only had 20mins before that last car down...unless we wanted to spend another 60 Euros on a truck to take us further up, but Locals advised us not to. Collossal waste of time and money!!!!!!!

    I had my doubhts about doing this tour as it was 15 hours , and I'd be loosing a whole day in Malta. I may have lost a day but gained so much more . The trip ran like clockwork nd the experiences and views were amazing . My only tip is make sure to get a good night's sleep the night before and bring an umbrella/raincoat for Mr. Etna. The weather was bad the day we visited mt.etna but this did not dampen our moods as we were taken away with the views on offer. Plus I'm from Ireland so the damp weather felt like home :) Thanks to the tour guides and bus driver who did a great job looking after us .
