Worst customer service ever. They pick and choose to whom they want to give a refund. Our cruise…read morehad a last-minute port change the day before we were supposed to dock in Messina. I canceled the excursion first and then contacted Viator because I could not contact the tour operator. I found out after the fact I had to contact the tour operator first before canceling. I tried contacting tour operator on numerous occasions before the excursion but didn't get a response. So I always contacted Viator (third party company whom I booked the excursion with). My SIL who was on the same excursion was refunded and told them I was with them. They still would not refund me but they did refund her. We were on the same excursion and had to cancel for the same reason. Difference is she waited to cancel until she talked to them. My bad on that. They should treat the customers the same way. Especially when my SIL explained the situation and told them I was with her.

I didn't think Messina was a great touristy city, but it does have some historical sites like the Cathedral with the astrological clock. Our cruise ship had their private excursion bus, but my friend and I decided to explore on our own. If you are capable of walking about 10 minutes from the port, you can save a few bucks by choosing this tour. You also might want to ditch your high heels since the streets have cobblestones. It cost us 15 Euro, and it lasted about 40 minutes.

7 MAGICAL DAYS SAILING THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS on the PRIVILEGE 51 SOLANGE Catamaran with Cristian …read more We were very concerned about all the different companies out there representing themselves as "legitimate" charter companies. On the internet you never know.... From the very first communications we were impressed with Cristian and Carolyn. Their response to our every question and inquiry were quickly answered and detailed to our satisfaction, and we trusted that they were honest and trustworthy. We asked for references and they quickly responded so we could verify their credentials. Not only did they accommodate all of our requests (special meals etc), but Carolyn was a wonderful help arranging for transport to the boat and after as well. Regarding the charter itself... we were very happy to charter Cristians Catamaran as it gave us flexibility of departure days and also accommodated our desire to start our sailing trip the day of departure until the final day of the itinerary. (many other charters use the first and last night in port which we felt would reduce the time out exploring). Cristian was happy to give us the maximum time out of port and we greatly appreciated that accommodation. The Catamaran : We were 5 people and the boat was very comfortable. Compared to single hull sailboats the Catamaran had alot of space to spread out. The cabins were very comfortable and sufficient for a small group. The boat has been well cared for. Our only regret is that mother nature didn't give us much wind, so we motored almost the entire time. The Crew: Cristian captained the boat and helped to create a great experience. He guided us to many great spots for swimming and snorkeling and to the ports. He was also very helpful in recommending restaurants at the various ports. The highlight was Rosella, who cooked breakfast and the MOST AMAZING lunches everyday. She was fun and always ready to make our meals and snacks. The itinerary was perfect.... We visited Vulcano, then Lipari (where due to weather conditions we spent 2 wonderful days there), then on to Panarea overnight, Stromboli overnight, Salina overnight, then the last night in Vulcano. We wish we could have had more days to see Filicudi and Alicudi... next time! September was the perfect time for our trip... weather was ideal, water still warm for swimming... and less tourists than the summer months. Cristian and Carolyn are very professional and would be a great choice for a special adventure. Eric, Mark, Dave, Dione (from San Francisco) and Bud (from Bali)

This beach is very European, which is to say it's a rock beach, not a sand beach. You can rent chairs and umbrellas. Dependign on the time of year, the water might have jellyfish, so beware as you wade into the surf. The little island, Isola Bella is magical, make sure you tour it.

It can take 20-30 minutes depending on your fitness level (wear sneakers!) 2. Take the gondola down to the final stop, and understand that you still have to walk some stairs down. It's not ideal for the elderly or those with walking issues. 3. Pull up on your boat! You should have water shoes because this is a rocky beach. No sand. Take your umbrella and chairs. OR, rent some chairs + umbrellas from the various beach clubs along the shore. I think that's the best way to go, because they cleared out their shoreline and it's not at rocky. There are a few vendors on the walk down selling water shoes, hats, and clothes. My girlfriend bought a 10€ hat and it was money worth spent! There are also some pushy salespeople that will try to recruit you to go on a boat excursion, snorkeling, etc. Regardless, do spend at least one day at the beach if you're visiting Taormina. The water is amazing, the views, the photo opps...
