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 made ue of this service during our vacation in Sicily from 1-6th August 2020. We were a group of 5 friends. Bruno drove us around the Trapani region throughout our vacation. He was always on time picking us up in the morning from the hotel. Coming back he was always flexible with pickup times. During the drive he always answered all of our questions. We were based in San Vito lo Capo and we travelled to these destinations Trapani windmills Erice Baglio Fontana agriturismo Segesta Mazara del Vallo On our last day Bruno drove us all the way to Taormina where we parted ways. The destinations and prices where decided beforehand so it was easy for us to plan ahead. The cars were spacious and comfortable with good air conditioning. Would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling in the Trapani region.

Were it not in the magical hour of sunset, I would not have enjoyed so much as I actually did. We were taken to Saline and after being guided through the museum, with an very efficient guide, started the best part of the tour. The tour organizer carefully planned the timing so that we had about 30 minutes until the sunset, during which I could take beautiful photos. There were also seemingly professional photographers waiting for the sunset. That only reinforces the scenic value of the setting. This made the highlight of my 8 days journey in the southern to western part of Sicily. Thank you to the tour operatour and the driver. Ciao!
