We used this company for our transportation during our stay in Sicily 4 times. They were always on time and at the right address. The drivers were funny/personable and offered to stop at certain viewpoints so we could take pictures (without us even asking!). There were 4 of us, so splitting the costs made so much more sense than trying our luck with the buses or renting a car. It is pricey if it's just one or two people, but the quality of service is top notch. They even told us about a friend of theirs who owns a restaurant in NYC (we went when we got back home and it was delicious as well!). Highly recommend, would use again.

We booked a private transfer from Palermo to Taormina with a 3 hour stopover in Cefalu. We had never used this company but saw its excellent reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to give it a try. I was nervous, as Christiane can attest due to my million e-mails, which he answered promptly, but I am very satisfied with the service.
The driver arrived promptly, The car was very comfortableand she helped with our luggage and had water on hand.
She was more than a driver, she was always pointing to interesting sights along the way and answering all our questions. When we arrived in Taormina she helped with the luggage since the hotel did not send anyone to help.
We were so happy with the service that we booked our transfer from Taormina to the Catania airport with them too. Again the driver was very helpful and on time
We highly recommend New Travel service for your vacation.

I hired Christian for 3 different services last month - round trip pick up for my clients from the airport and another time to take them around for the day. Upon my clients arrival to Catania, their flight ended up getting delayed for several hours. Christian was on top of it! He was tracking the flight, had several people waiting in the airport for my clients (as it was Good Friday and a very busy day!) Christian tried everything in his power to make my clients happy and was very accommodative. I really got the feeling that Christian truly cares about his business and clients. I highly recommend using New Travel Services!

I highly recommend New Travel Services! Our driver Christian was great!
He met us one time outside Catania airport and transferred us direct to our accommodation in Taormina at the reasonable price of €75.
He also provided us with local tips about Taormina and Sicily which was very helpful! Christian assisted us with a transfer back to the airport for our departure from Sicily. We were staying in a rural area which was difficult to locate. He kindly drove to the area the night before to ensure he knew exactly where to pick us up from early the next morning. Christian went above and beyond to ensure we got to the airport on time and had a great time in Sicily. Thank you!

A few months prior to our trip — I contacted New Travel Services to assist with the transport 3 family members from Catania airport to our rental villa. Christian responded with two quotes, one for a very large car and one for a van. After providing the necessary flight details; he confirmed with a van.
My family met Maurizio, their driver, and the exceptional service began: He thoughtfully asked my daughters and granddaughter if they had eaten breakfast - and took them to a nearby pasticceria for what they described as the best they had throughout our 3-week vacation in Sicilia! And they tried many on a daily basis!
Maurizio was kind, sweet and funny. They thoroughly enjoyed him, his demeanor, his efforts to speak English and his efforts to understand their Italian! He occasionally provided small details along the ride…. Exactly the type of person I hoped to drive my loved ones. He was wonderful.
Grazie a Maurizio for taking such good care of my family from la pasticceria to the villa!

From the moment I contacted them, they were spectacular! I must’ve had my plans changed at least five times where I had to email them each time. Each time they had no problem reconfirming the pick up Transfer from the airport at CTA to Taoromina . Their price was extremely reasonable in fact €10 cheaper than anyone else I contacted. And their service was outstanding! The fella was there waiting for me with a sign in my name on the card and a beautiful air condition van. I was very happy! I will be taking them back to the CTA airport in a few days at 4 AM in the morning! I highly recommend this company!

We booked a return journey by taxi from Catania airport to our Hotel in Taormina. Everything from booking on line to pick up to journey as excellent. Our flight arrived 35 mins early and our taxi driver was waiting at the airport when we arrived. Our return journey taxi arrived 10 mins early. Lovely friendly driver. We can highly recommend this company - oh yes and the price was far cheaper than booking a taxi via our hotel.

We hired Christian’s company to provide driving & translation services from Catania to Agira, the birthplace of 3 of my husband’s grandparents. How lucky we were to have Christian accompany us for the entire day. While doing our family tree I was contacted by a relative of my husbands paternal grandmother. We had made arrangements to meet her but we had no idea what we would be doing other than lunch. It turned out she planned a meetup with 10 other relatives. Christian was so helpful with communication throughout the day. During lunch when one of the relatives brought out a guitar, the whole group, Christian included, started singing the Italian songs. What fun it was. I was concerned that we were running past the agreed upon return time but Christian assured us it was not a problem. Even before the trip he was very accommodating when I changed the date & number of people needing transport. Christian was more than a driver/translator. His humor and easy going nature made him seem like one of the family. We can’t thank him enough for contributing to a memorable day. I highly recommend his company when visiting Sicily.

I stumbled on someone else's review of this company, and wrote to them as a backup to one I found myself. They answered immediately and in English ... my series of ever-changing dates and destinations for various transfers was never too much for them, they were always on time (early), in clean cars (sometimes top end merc, sometimes clean large people-mover/van), good English and prices I couldnt beat. I understand their forte is tours but I didnt need any, only transfers at this time but I will DEFINTELY recommend them to any friends going to Sicily and use myself if/when I return.
You can feel confident you are in relable hands and getting a good price if you book with this company. And I dont give praise easily.

On a recent trip to Sicily we hired Christian to take us on a private tour from Catania to Taormina and then on to Savoca as we wanted to visit Bar Vitelli upon recommendation from some family members. Christian was prompt (early in fact), very helpful communicating promptly via email re: our reservation with him, making recommendations for us for lunch, etc. He is so knowledgeable about the area and we had a wonderful day with him. Some other travelers on the Gate1 Tour that we were on also engaged Christian the day before our time with him, and they reported that they had had a wonderful time with him also! HIGHLY recommend!! If we are ever back in Sicily we will definitely be seeking out his services again.

Hi, could you tell me how much for airport transfer from Catania to Motta Camastra and back. And if you do some other excursions.
Thanks
Written April 18, 2019
I do not know as it was a package trip for us from the airport. Christian should be able to answer your question - send it directly to them. A taxi from our hotel cost 20 euro one way.

Written May 10, 2016
We did a a half day trip but with Etna People. Was actually 6 hours and cost us EURO 59 which we thought was very good. They said would have a snack at the end but was more like lunch. Great Value.

Hi, Our ship MSC Fantasia will dock at Messina from 8 am to 6 pm on 22 Sep 2015. My wife and I are keen to visit Mt. Etna and Taormina. Please could you suggest how best we can utilize our shore excursion with pick up and drop off at the port. Please also let us know the cost per person (we wish to join a group) for the tour. Thanks

We are flying in & out of Catania from Naples. We arrive on Aug. 29th at noon and depart at 10:15 pm on Sept. 1st.
We have not made any hotel reservations at this time because I didn't know if it would be necessary. I wanted to check with you first to see if you had a tour that would include hotels.
We would like to see the Valley of the Temples & I see you have one leaving Catania but ending in Palermo. That would not work for us. We need to end in Catania. Should we do day trips from a central town like Siracusa or perhaps do 2 nights in Siracusa & one in Agrigento? We are open to suggestions and desperately need help in planning our time there. We are 72 & 74 and in good health but with bad hip & knee joints.
Thanks,
Judy McFarland
