- AGillian· October 10th, 2023All my hopes of Sicily were exceeded, walking through the lava fields of Etna showed nature’s raw power, walking the rim of Vulcano was just magic, swimming in among the thermal springs with the fish was unforgettable. We concluded our trip with a feast of a picnic in the beautiful Nebrodi Mountains organised by Lara to showcase the best of Sicilian fare but we had a completely unscripted bonus when fellow Sicilian picnickers shared their barbecue demonstrating the generosity and warmth of all Sicians, a real memory maker!Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- ASteven· October 9th, 2023Vulcano - Although we didn't know until on our way whether we would be able to complete walk. Alternative coach tour would have been very disappointing and not worth the journey.Trip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- ADavid· October 8th, 2023Walking on Etna, and hearing a first-hand account from Lara of the lava flows in 2002 that destroyed her holiday chalet The spectacular Pantalica gorge walk Walking up the volcano on Vulcano and viewing the crater and the fumarroles Walking in the remote Nebredi Mountains, well off the normal tourist track, and enjoying the splendid picnic in beautiful surroundings.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AMargery· October 9th, 2023Probably the day going to Vulcano and struggling up the volcano and then immersing myself in bubbling sea water beside the island's shore was the most outside my normal experience. But each of the activity days had its enjoyable highlights.Trip date: September 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AChristine Westby· May 16th, 2023I enjoyed all of the sights that Lara took us to see. I learned a great deal and really thought Lara was very knowledgeable about Sicily.Trip date: May 2023
