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.

Came here with my husband for our wedding anniversary and we had a lovely experience is Cassa de montabalno. Maria the housekeeper was amazing. Very helpful friendly and when we arrived we had to organise a Covid test. She organised it with the help of Ivana and we were very happy that they helped us. Maria was a source of information and arranged us to go on a day tour on a Montabalno Day Tour with Nunzio the taxi driver. We had a wonderful day. I would highly recommend this b&b to anyone who loves the tv show. Only negative was we missed the season and not many restaurants were open but we didn’t starve. We bought our food in the local shop and ate on the balcony in the evening. Thank you for having us!

Mimmo is a superb driver and guide. Informed, considerate and kind, he drove us across Sicily and revealed the character and mystery of Sicily to us along the way with intelligence, good cheer and humor. His English is impeccable. When we return, we will certainly use his services again. We loved Sicily, and Mimmo was a big part of the experience.

Angela was a great guide with a deep knowledge of Erice and Sicilian history and culture. She really gave us a great tour of the beautiful hilltop town and was so lovely to invite us to see her parents house which is in classic Erician style with a beautiful courtyard. What a dreamy place! Thank you Angela!!

Angela is a wonderful tourist guide! She was enthusiastic, passionate, informative, helpful and kind. Besides being very well educated in the topic, she is a real Erice native - born and raised there. She gave us a lot of valuable insights and could answer all the questions we had. It was a pleasure to discover charming Erice with such a knowledgable and fun tourist guide! Highly recommend her!

The tour begins with the meeting at the parking area of the Archaeological Area of Segesta where after an initial briefing we leave for the Segesta countryside. We will stop at the vineyards and orchards where we will taste the delicious seasonal fruit produced from these lands such as white and black grapes, mulberries, pomegranates, melons, etc. Halfway, we will head towards Monte Pispisa which dominates the archaeological park of Segesta and where suddenly the landscape will change between coniferous forests, oak forests and the typical Mediterranean scrub, with the possibility of catching sight of kestrels and peregrine falcons. From Monte Pispisa we can then enjoy the wonderful panorama of western Sicily. The route will return and continue through the countryside of Segesta with the crossing of rock gorges to admire the temple of Segesta from above. The tour will close with a return to the starting point.
