Great and stress free transfer

Van supplied too small!

We booked transportation for 8 passengers with 8 pieces of luggage. The van was way too small to accommodate us. The luggage did not fit in the back of the van. This was for a 2 and 1/2 drive so needless to say it was very uncomfortable. The driver was very nice and prompt for our pickup at the airport. When booking make sure to confirm the make/model of the van. We had other transportation on our trip which was more accommodating.

Operator response

We are Sorry that you did not feel comfortable with our service. We provided a regular van Mercedes for 8 passengers, a Mercedes Vito. Next time you should book a minibus contacting a Company of bus renting.

Our driver/guide Ricardo...

Our driver/guide Ricardo was very informative and a good driver. The drive through the Sicilian countryside was beautiful. We also enjoyed stopping in Cefalu. It is a beautiful little town on the sea. We traveled on a Saturday so Cefalu was very crowded. This is definitely an easy way to travel between the two cities especially if you have luggage. We were transported from hotel to hotel.

Best Way to Travel in Sicily

It was excellent! Scenery was spectacular and the driver was knowledgeable about the history and the culture. It was great not to worry about driving, especially with the construction and parking! Also getting to the Valley of the Temples and the Roman Villa, which are superb must-see pieces of history, are best suited with a wonderful private transport.

Never travel with Flixbus when you are in Sicily

We purchased online tickets for Flixbus from Catania to Palermo. The price was most expensive in comparison to other companies because it said it was the fastest direct route. When we came to bus station there was a delay, bus was 50 min late. We have to put our suitcases in the bus by ourselves. On our tickets there were seats 15C and D and there were no such seats in the bus. And the behavior of the driver was terrible.

Private Driver Palermo to Catania

Our driver was Ricardo. He arrived promptly at our hotel for morning pick-up. He expertly navigated the Palermo streets and traffic to get us on our way. He was very knowledgeable about Sicilian history and culture. We greatly enjoyed our trip.
