Perfect Ride

scaputo3030, Nov 2025

Ricardo was perfectly early and waiting for us. He texted and called to tell us he was ready. Very clean and spacious van. Safe driving.

Very Good!

Brian_B, Jun 2025

Very communicative and easy to book. Our driver was very nice, safe, information, and personable. Great experience!

Highly recommended!!

Michelle_M, Jun 2025

Wonderful, friendly service. Our driver, Martino, was fantastic. He sent us a text message and WhatsApp message upon our arrival to the airport. He waited patiently for us to collect our bags and take our two young children to the bathroom. He assisted with our luggage and was overall very kind and friendly. He helped us install the car seats they provided. We felt safe with his driving. If you’re traveling with a family, this is the way to do it! It made the trip from the Catania airport to Taormina much easier after our long flight with two young children.

Disappointing Service and Inexcusable Conduct

Jessica_M, Jun 2025

We were deeply disappointed by our experience. Despite confirming our reservation in advance, the driver never arrived and failed to notify us of any change or delay. When we followed up, the response we received was not only unapologetic but shockingly unprofessional—complete with disparaging remarks about our home country, which were entirely inappropriate and offensive. Travel can be unpredictable, but respect and professionalism should always remain constant. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. I hope this feedback encourages reflection and improvement in how future customers are treated.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Luckily all the other customers are not miserable liars like you! you made a mistake in entering the arrival time in the booking details, and you know it very well. Our driver showed up at the airport at 08:40 am as you wrote in the booking details, it is not our fault that you made a mistake and you arrived at 07:40 am. And you continue to lie, no one has ever told you anything about your country of origin, which by the way I don't even know which one it is! It is truly scandalous the way you continue to tell lies! You also lied to viator to try to get a refund. We would have given you a refund even though the mistake was yours and therefore the poor service was not our responsibility, but since you tell lies and allow yourself to throw mud at our company, well no, we refuse to give you a refund! Luckily there are not many people like you, otherwise I would have changed job! And it's useless for you to continue lying and accusing us of untrue things, since the reviews of honest people speak about us...!!! Do some soul searching before accusing people who work of false things... if you have a conscience at all!

Reliable

George_R, May 2025

On time and good ride, and that’s what we want from a car service. I recommend this company highly. Car was comfortable and clean.

Expensive taxi

Elizabeth_D, May 2025

The extra tour was not worth the price. Tour guide very uninformed. Lots of road construction in Catania and guide had little knowledge. Very boring.

Excellent Ride

George_R, May 2025

Our driver, Riccardo, was prompt, and very knowledgeable about the area between Catania and Taormina. We had a very enjoyable ride that included a stop for some delicious Granite and some beautiful sights.

Dependable ride

Scot_S, Apr 2025

Martino was great. On time and informative. Great communication from the company as well. Would definitely use this service again.

Easy and convenient

Ani_Y, Oct 2024

Picked us up right as we were clearing baggage. Super easy. Nice ride to doorstep of our hotel and gave us recommendations of things to do and places to eat.

Great Transfer Experience!

Donald_R, Oct 2024

Our driver was punctual, spoke English well, and had an awesome personality. He knew the local area well and delivered us early.

Private vehicle transfer from Catania Airport to Taormina.

John_D, Oct 2024

Our flight was late arriving but Roberto was waiting for us and gave us a terrific safe ride to Taormina with alot of great history and information, if you get him as a transport driver you will be extremely pleased

Transportation to Taormima

Catania to Taormina

Teresa_v, Jun 2024

Our driver was wonderful! He was very informative about the area on our drive to our hotel! Great person!

Uneventful, safe, expedient service

Patricia_A, Jun 2024

Our driver. picked up our party of 6 (with 6+ bags) on time at the requested location. We felt safe with our drive from Catania to Taormina. He dropped us off at the requested address. All was good.

Best Sicily Storyteller

Andreas_S, Jun 2024

The Driver Martino knows so much about Sicily, I don’t have to read it anymore. Very friendly and helpful person.

Terrible Business to use on Sunday

Elaine_A, May 2024

We were stranded at the Catania airport with no driver at 1030 pm at night. Due to our flight to Rome being delayed, and thus missing our initial flight to Catania, I was unable, due to lack of cell service while in the air, to call and let the service know we were delayed. I later was told I would have to rebook. So I rebooked for the later arrival time, only to have that reservation cancelled by the provider while flying to Catania because their drivers do not pick up late on Sunday night! How am I supposed to know this when making the reservation and getting confirmed? I am still awaiting a refund for this. I received one refund but not for the second occurrence that was cancelled by the driver. We ended up finding a taxi that took us to our hotel, which actually was cheaper than the cost of Viator.

I would use the service again

Greg_H, Apr 2024

The driver was on time, and took us straight to our AirBnB. I think that a couple of bottles of water would have been nice, and given it a 5-star experience.

Excellent service given by Joseph!

Joseph_P, Sep 2022

Superb service! Joseph was extremely friendly and helpful ! He was very kind! Got us to hotel right on time

Smooth transfer to Taormina

Andrea_F, Jul 2022

Great trip! After a long flight we were so happy to see our driver waiting for us. Smooth drive with a lot of info about Sicily!

Excellent service!

Louise_N, May 2022

This service was EXCELLENT! Driver arrived early for a 5am Sunday pick up saving me any stress that he would find our apartment in twisty streets of Taormina. He was super professional. I am so glad I spent the money on this service to start off a difficult travel day successfully!

Excellent Service!

Louise_N, May 2022

Riccardo was great! Picked us up as soon as we were ready and delivered us right to our apartment in Taormina even though it was a difficult location to drive to. We enjoyed conversing with him.

Very Positive Experience; Highly Recommend

Karen_S, Oct 2019

We arranged for a driver from Taormina airport to the apartment we were staying at and then a return to the airport after our stay just so we wouldn't have to try and navigate by ourselves in an area we have never been. Both times we were very impressed with the vehicle, the driver and the service. I would definitely use Viator again for my transportation needs. Both vehicles were Mercedes and were spotless. The drivers were very professional and easy to talk to. There was a bit of a miscommunication on the location to pick us up for our return to the airport, but we were able to easily resolve and the driver was very apologetic. I would highly recommend Viator for anyone looking for transportation.
