EasyTrapani is the best car rental under the sun. We've rented the car twice and each time it was a great choice. The rental was very quick and easy - not a single problem. This is how a car rental should operate like. While renting the car from Katania airport we've been welcomed and served on the highest level. This is also the only car rental you don't have to use a credit card - definitely a great advantage over hundreds of other rentals. We've rented Fiat Panda which is the perfect car for Sicilian cities and roads. Another great thing - Private tours. Gianni is the living encyclopedia when it comes to Sicily and its history and culture. He will show you places tourist never visit, tell you many interesting facts and stories about them and bring you closer to Sicilian heritage. Very professional, flexible and ready to make the tour about you and your interests. Not unlike many tour guides, who only stick to itinerary and have no consideration for the pace and needs of customers. I wholeheartedly recommend Gianni and Easy Trapani if you plan going to Sicily, Sardinia or mainland Italy - this is your best choice!

I booked this tour online and paid €60. When I arrived at the port I saw the same trip was €40 if bought there. I paid an additional 50%for the privilege of booking online!!! Also I had to pay an additional €2.50 City tax which wasn't notified. I contacted the company and they said it was tour operator costs - no refund. They said no one had complained before - I find that really hard to believe. Unless you like throwing your money away I'd suggest waiting until you get to the port. The trip itself is enjoyable and the islands are lovely. Under covid they, naturally can't provide snorkeling equipment but definitely bring your own. So worth it. Lunch was pasta with tinned tomato and slice of melon. Bottled water was a plastic cup with lunch. A good day out if you can get past the rip off.

We couldn’t decide which islands to visit but our host advised Marretima was more beautiful and less touristy. Not sure how long it is since he’s been there and we didn’t stop at Favignana or Levanzo but we were greeted at Marretima by loud music and someone on a microphone - not a good start. We travelled on Pironi Lines (?) Lady M and the boat was reasonably comfortable, the toilet clean and lunch consisted of anti pasta, a small plate of rigatoni and a tasty sauce, and melon. We were also given water and wine. Marretima itself would probably be good to stay on if you’re a walker but what you can see in the two hours stopover is a small touristy area and a pebbly beach. However, back on the Lady M we circumnavigated the island to see the sea caves and we’re surprised at how close in the captain got. We stopped for two great swims, then headed back, with a view onto Levanzo on the way home. For €55 I thought this was a pleasant day out on a smaller boat than the ones that go to F&L but it was a lot of time at sea with nothing to look at, there and back.
