Red bus opened inappropriate - Peccato che sia cosi per l'Etna - The guide Graziella and the guide on the volcan were perfect and also the 2 drivers. But an opened bus to go the basis of Etna (1800 m) is completey inappropriate, not very comfortable, very noisy and moreover opened. So there were drafts in the bus, and we catched a cold. Such a bus is OK for short ways in a city and when the weather is very hot, but not to go to Etna and to Alcantara.

Serious safety issues/not a good experience - Unfortunately the trip did not go as planned. When we arrived at basecamp, the bus jeep had a punctured tire. The driver just filled air in the tire instead of replacing it with the sparewheel. We all drew their attention to the tire, but they just went on. Then we drove up Etna, when we got around 2600 meter, the driver start backing towards the edge trying to turn the bus around. This was horrifying, I thought my last minute had come. He got the bus turned around with all the passengers inside. Then he drove down 100 meters, and everyone got of the bus. The tire was totally flat. Then we had to wait for another bus to come and get us. This bus couldn't have all the passengers at once. They dorve ud further down to look at Etna. Finally when we got down to basecamp again, there was no bus to take us to Alcantara. We waited for about 45 minutes, then another bus came to pick us up (Not the bus without top, that we were promised). Everybode hurried into the bus and the driver drove of. After 30 minutes he stopped, he had forgotten 2 passengers at basecamp. All in all this trip was horrible, nothing went as planned, and no one informed us or took any responsebility for what happened. When we got back to Taormina, several of us went to the office where we booked the trip to complaint. No help here either. We just got a brochure with an email address we could write to. The response to email I sent, was good, they were sorry for what had happened, and promised to refund some of our money. But here 3 weeks later, nothing has happened. No money refund and no answer to further mails.
