We enjoyed the trip but due to many problems we do NOT recommend taking this tour. First and major problem . When we arrived at 8pm after a long day of traveling at the listed hotel,Mercure Palermo centro on the 30 of july we were told that we did not have a booking,that they knew nothing about Viator or TUO (the only booking agent and tour operator listed in our booking)and when they tried to call the only phone number we had listed for TUO there was no answer. we sat in the hotel lobby for over 1/2h not knowing what to do being left in a foreign country without contacts,a room and the feeling of having been conned. after a 1/2h a tour guide walked in the lobby and told us that we had been moved to a hotel across the street.we were relieved but very angry.we were NEVER contacted by anybody to tell us that the hotel was changed.We are still waiting for some apology for the anguish none ever came. we were supposed to be booked only in 4 stars hotels the Ibis hotel is certainly NOT a 4 star hotel. When we booked the tour it was stated that the tour is limited to 25 people,there were 31 on the tour. Another problem is that the tour included italian,spanish and english speaking people which nean that the tour guide(very nice and helpful) was talking for hours on the bus in 3 languages so we could not rest. We also question the choice of stops like Marsala for a wine tasting ,instead of a stop at Segesta which we passed right by without stopping or Ragusa were we were left for 2 hours to try to find a lunch place and did not see anything of the city before a small cheese tasting,any better use of time?That day we spent 6 hours on the bus,not enjoyable. We had in our booking 3 days in the eolien island in a hotel in Lipary. The hotel Bouguainville in Lipary is lovely and we are very happy with our stay we feel it saved our trip there but we had listed a tour of Salina this was substituted by a trip to Volcano island without our consent,a family travelling on the same tour with us refused to go to volcano and booked their own tour to Salina at their own expense. In summary,we had booked this tour trusting that Viator is a reliable travel agent and we feel now that we have been cheated and we doubt that we will use them again
