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.

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)

But the office was very helpful and helped me out (via E-Mail). They did a reservation for me and sent me everything by mail (PDF). Good and fast communication and friendly staff. On the day we took the ferry we just traded our print-out papers for a ticket at the ticket booth (for cars). Quick and easy. Boarding was very fast, Ferries cross about every 15-20mins in peak times. The ferries come in different sizes. From the simple one-level open ferry to multi-level ferries. There is a kiosk on board, in case you're hungry. They got pretty decent arancini for fair prices. The ride is very quick. In 20min you arrive on the other side. Debarking was another quick and easy matter. So we were very happy with Caronte. Everything went smooth, prices for a car (two ways) are fair for about 76 Euros. I'd use this service definitely again.
