“Good tour, however a couple of minor concerns. First being after paying for the tour and on the bus, we were advised that their was an additional 5 euro per person. This was not set out previously. Second was the ferry was packed and we were like sardines. I would hate to have been an older traveller. There were people leaving their bags across seats and children sprawling and taking up space. If I’m paying for a tour, I expect to st least get a seat. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we were priveleged to see Stromboli erupt 5 times”
