This trip exceeded my expectations. I chose it because it was a 'different' kind of holiday to those I am used to taking, but it was so much better than I
thought. The walking was hard work sometimes, but the achievement of reaching the summits felt great. The weather, of course, made it more
enjoyable. All hotels were comfortable and the local people very accommodating. Our group was mixed in terms of walking experience, however, our guide was very good in that he never made people hurry and was mindful of those with slight difficulties. Very professional guide, friendly, included himself in the group at all times, explained interesting historical, geological, local information. A really great guide.
The variety of the daily treks was great. No day provided the same challenge.
In particular I enjoyed visiting the Central Operations for Volcanic Monitoring on Stromboli, which was very interesting. The walk to the summit of
Stromboli will never be forgotten and neither will the summit of Etna. The scenery on each island was spectacular. The group became close and we all
had a great time together.
