What travelers are saying
- simon lEpsom, UK1 contributionThe business lounge needs to be cleaned thoroughly. It was filthy with insects.
Loading and unloading of vehicles was a circus. With paying customers being shouted at! Training staff in both areas required.Written April 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - P. PapeBonn, Germany57 contributionsWe booked a trip to Ustica from Palermo in the morning for a hydrofoil boat taking off fifteen minutes later, it was no problem. Though we had to wait a while in the queue (approx. 20-30 minutes). People were nice and understood English. Unlike on the boat itself. None of the crew spoke english and the boat is old and shabby. No service at all, speakers are broken and they repeat the safety stuff like a hundred times on Italian and English. Hydrofoil only takes 1.5h. You cannot take any vehicles just one piece of baggage each. The seats are old and uncomfortable, impossible to sleep in there.
We spent 100€ for two people for a trip and the return, so €25 each per way.Written August 9, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On my complaints I was laughed at by the young lady at the infodesk. They do not care. They just want you money.Written October 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ciaram22Newark, NJ1 contributionWe took two full day tours for our group of grandparents and Alex was more than accommodating. We enjoyed his guidance as we explored the land, food, and history of Palermo and western Sicily. Alex’s mastery of English and use of what’s app helped make these experiences the best they could beWritten May 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maryanne DSydney, Australia121 contributionsI had booked this ferry journey online some time ago. We parked our car at Molo Santa Lucia so we were close for departure. When we arrived in Palermo we took the printed voucher to the Tirrenia office which faces the other main car park at the entrance to the dock. Easy process. Took down the car reg no. and gave us the ticket. On the day of departure it was an easy drive about 300m to the ferry. There is someone there to check your ticket, then you proceed to the security check where you need to show identification and they check for stowaways. You then are given a ticket, one part gets stuck to the side mirror and you keep the other. It has your cabin number on it and you need to take this to reception once you are on board.
We arrived at the dock 2.5 hours before departure which meant we were some of the first on and could check in and explore the ferry before departure. We travelled on the Ariadne, a Greek registered ferry. It was very comfortable.Written July 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joemar714Elmhurst, IL29 contributionsWe used Sicily Airports Transfer from CTA to our hotel in Taormina and the driver met us in the baggage claim area with a sign as promised.
They took us from Taormina to Palermo.
And they took us from our hotel in Palermo to PMO.Written May 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - K HCopenhagen, Denmark37 contributionsEasy and cheap way to get to airport.
Right on time 👍
You can get into the bus in different stops but the best is start station for avoiding filled up seats.Written April 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our driver was right there waiting for us in the arrival hall when we landed and the driver was very professional. Couldn’t have been easier. Highly recommended!Written December 23, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JoanieBayside, NY10 contributionsI was speaking with Rosario for a few weeks, prior to my trip in Palermo. I cancelled on him once. He was so polite and hospitable. I called him last night for a transfer to the airport for this morning. He was prompt, professional, funny, kind, and a pleasure. And his car comfortable and wonderful.He is such a safe and efficient driver. A pleasure Rosario!!Written May 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teodora1 contributionEasy communication, comfy and fast transport. Also good price (a bit lower than uber). Better than the usual taxi.Written February 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Kule DudeBromsgrove, UK966 contributionsNot particularly well advertised, but we found out about it when in Palermo. We alighted at Piazza Marina and although not particularly comfortable (hard seats), no Aircon and no commentary, with the aid of a guidebook you will have a trip round the old city at no charge. And you can hop on hop off at the various stops.Written July 14, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
