      You can certainly go on top of the cable car, it's actually great fun for kids. Then it's really up to you. You can take the 4x4 bus as I did in the video, that's easygoing. From there you can do an easy walk around led by the guide. The other crater on the way back requires a bit of a climb which I would not do with a 2y old kid but you can easily skip that. WHerever you go you will have an amazing view. Enjoy

      It is, but you need to make sure the renter allows to take the car outside Spain. There is usually an extra fee (around 50 Euros, but it could be less). Check the rental conditions. It’s all mentioned there, at least on the website I suggested in the video description. Enjoy your drive 🚗

    Also, don't buy the car hire company's extra insurance, buy it before you go. It costs around £13 for a week or around £45 for an annual policy.

    Hi Stefano, my friend and I are off to Sicily on Friday, so this was a very helpful video - thank you. But , as others have mentioned below a UK drivers licence IS valid in Italy and therefore all insurance will be too. Perhaps you could update your video to reflect this fact ? I researched this thoroughly whilst planning our trip, so your video completely freaked me ( as I am sure it did others) when you said that our licenses were not valid....x

      Thanks Jo, you are 100% correct. I did realise the mistake too late, but unfortunately, UA-cam doesn't allow you to "modify" the video.. I wrote it in the video description in big letters, that usually helps. I agree on insuring before the trip Cheers

    Pro tips for driving in Sicily. 1. Never put your phone down. And remember, texting while driving is a skill that needs to be practiced. 2. Drive as fast and reckless as possible. When you see pedestrians or bicyclists on the road, don't slow down. Try to see how dangerously close you can get without hitting them. Especially at crosswalks. The same rule applies to driving near motorcyclists on the autostrada. 3. When entering a roadway or intersection, never look in the direction of the oncoming traffic. Only look in the direction that you want to drive. If there's traffic, block the oncoming cars and wait until there is an opening in the lane you need. And of course, never use your indicators. 4. Ignore all speed limits and stop signs. When at a traffic light, honk your horn as soon as the light turns green. Don't be shy, horns are made for honking. 5. Parking. Make sure that when double parking you block as much traffic as possible. 6. If the car or motorcyclist in front of you is not going as fast as you want, be sure to tailgate at least a half meter from their bumper. Don't forget to dangerously pass whenever possible, even on blind corners.

      Sad truths unfortunately. But you missed so much. Like gigantic potholes, like a highways being a joke, with 110 speed limit, tolls you can only pay with cash, and one of lanes closed for maintenance every 10km, etc. Seriously I've never enjoyed driving around so little as in Sicily...

I prefer to be more flexible and not book a „big“ tour where u meet a guide & other people somewhere in the city and start traveling up to Etna (gondola & bus) all together. What is the name for the hike (destination) you did? Grazie

    • @StefanoFerro
      @StefanoFerro Місяць тому

      @isabellnorris8265 yeah, sorry, let me explain better. Renting a car is a fantastic idea. There is only one way up. You arrive at the gondop base and buy a ticket for the summit. This means, cable carl, then 4x4 bus to a mid point and then there is a group guide that takes the bus group (20 people) to a further point. That's what you have seen in the video. Alternatively you can book a guide just for you (1-to-1). It costs considerably more but you can arrange the day you want

      Hi Jesmine, I think you have 3 options. Minivan (e.g., Fiat Talento, Peugeot Traveller, Ford Tourneo Custom): Pros: Spacious, flexible seating, ample cargo space. Cons: Larger size can be challenging in narrow city streets. Large MPV (e.g., Volkswagen Caravelle, Mercedes-Benz V-Class): Pros: Comfortable seating, good legroom, decent luggage capacity. Cons: Can be expensive to rent. Large SUV with Three Rows (e.g., Toyota Highlander, Ford Expedition): Pros: Good balance of passenger comfort and luggage space. Cons: Slightly less luggage space than minivans, higher fuel consumption Enjoy your trip!!

    loved this video!! i’ll be going alone next time (22, female) and i really want to be among people, surrounded by restaurants, stores, coffee shops, malls, bars, etc, so south beach definitely sounds like the perfect spot for me. i was just wondering if you had any idea if there’s any more northern soflo places anywhere from fort lauderdale (will most likely be my airport) to west palm beach that share that south beach vibe (obviously not to miami extent - lol). i have old friends to see in wpb and it’d be a hassle to drive up and down (for either them or me 😂) constantly, but i want to meet new people and not stay somewhere super quiet like last year (boca raton!) so it seems i’ve got to make that sacrifice. thanks!

      If you prefer to stay closer to your friends in West Palm Beach but still want a lively atmosphere, West Palm Beach itself offers plenty to do. However, if you're willing to drive a bit, Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach are excellent alternatives that offer a vibrant social scene without the possibly overwhelming vibe of South Beach. Enjoy your trip

      Great road trip!! The easiest would be to rent the car in Civitavecchia. From there, you can drive through the beautiful Lazio and Tuscany countryside to Val D'Orcia. The issue is that usually they have a limited availability, but if you find the right car for you, I wouldn't hesitate to start my trip from there. Have a look at my suggested website to book a car, you may be lucky. The alternative is Rome Fiumicino Airport. There is much more availability and better prices, but you would need to go there from the port, and the way to Val D'Orcia through the highway is not as scenic. I wouldn't go to Florence to rent a car. Val D'Orcia is between Rome and Florence, so you would make your trip much longer, back and forward. I hope I was able to help out. Have a great trip

    Stefano, wife and I are looking for a place to stay between our time in Florence and Rome as we close out our three week trip to Italy. Looking at Arezzo. Would love to know why you mention as a romantic destination. Love your videos.

    • @StefanoFerro

      Romantic because the historical centre is so beautiful but not as touristy as the other cities in Tuscany. Still expect narrow lanes, cobblestone streets, local tavernas, etc. Another town you should consider between Rome and Florence is Orvieto. It's in Umbria, just a few km from Tuscany. I love it. It's located on top of a small hill reachable with a sort of cable car from the train station. The old centre is once again so beautiful. Enjoy your trip

      AutoUnion, addCar, OTO, Sixt are all good. Check the contract and make sure all the damages are included in the picture. Remember to take photos and videos at the pickup. I would stay away from Malta First Car Hire and Surprice Car Rentals although their prices are awesome (in fact, too low to be true). These days, I generally book my cars from DiscoverCars (mel365.com/CarRental), a sort of Airbnb for cars, I go only for rental companies rated 8 or above. Enjoy Malta

      Not based on my experience, just 2 suggestions. You would require a permit. If you don't have one, take extreme caution 😉 . Don't land on the magnetic volcanic ash. It would very likely damage the drone

    I’ve been looking at staying in the Brera district while we’re visiting but we’re not sure how quick or how we can get to the cadorna train station early. We have to be at airport for departure by 6:30 am?

    • @StefanoFerro

      The walk is around 20 minutes, based on where you are around in Brera. Public transport opens at 5am so it's not doable. Or book a taxi well in advance. Enjoy Milan 👍

      They change regularly. There are a few common to most countries like you cannot use it over events, for example, and others more specific. I suggest you check the official websites and not trust any suggestions or comments on social media. All the best for your trip 😜
