No show tour company

David_T, Mar 2026
Our tour operator did not show up to pick us up for our Mt Etna tour. The tour operator did not notify us that they were cancelling the tour. When we first called the tour operator 30 minutes after they were supposed to pick us up (we were waiting the whole time, while other Mt Etna tours picked their people up) the tour operator at first denied that we had a reserved tour and then said that the weather was bad and that they would pick us up tomorrow instead. Your (Viator's) response was 1) would you like me to request a refund? and 2) I can rebook you with another tour company for tomorrow at more than double the tour cost that you booked at and 3) I'll try to contact your tour operator to see if we can get you reliably booked on a Mt Etna/Taormina tour for tomorrow (to which the tour operator has apparently not replied). This is the first problem that I have had with a Viator tour and so far I'm not impressed. Every tour booking company has issues and problems, the question is what is Viator doing to help its clients when things go wrong?

Fabrizio, our driver and guide, was very nice and provided a lot of information. We would never have done these sights on our own. Highly recommend!

This private tour offers an exceptional experience, with every aspect explained and the pace relaxed and enjoyable.

Worthwhile experience

Dave_P, Oct 2024
Taormina was memorable but getting there was unfortunate because we got stuck in a traffic jam on the expressway. Not the tour leader's fault. Would liked to have spent more time at Etna but the driver made sure we got back to the ship on time.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your review, unfortunately we cant change traffic jams and your scheduled leaving time from the harbour did not depend on us... All the best Enjoy Sicily

Terrific day- vacation highlight!

Highlight of our trip!

Kym_A, Nov 2021
So glad we booked our tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip and our tour guide Fabrizio was absolutely amazing! He wasn’t just very knowledgable and able to give us lots of information but he was also a very kind person and made sure our group was well looked after. The trip itself is great value for money as you get to visit multiple locations, all of which are beautiful and full of history. We really hope to come back to Sicily and book another tour as we had such a great time. Would recommend to anyone coming to Catania to book a tour with Fabrizio, he was great!

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Dear Kym, thanks a lot for your kind words!! I do hope to show you in the future all over this magic island where I am so lucky to live. Wish you all the best!! Fabrizio on behalf of Enjoy Sicily
