Learn how sea salt is made - Nice way to learn how sea salt has been made in the Trapani area for centuries. Naomi was a great tour guide although her English is limited. There’s also anther experience where you can actually walk on the salt pan for an extra cost. The museum was very interesting because it has devices that were used on the salt making process in the past.

Salt and the life cycle of the sea - An experience that was not only beautiful, but also culturally interesting. YOU LEARN things about salt, about how salt is extracted from the sea, which is not something to be taken for granted, but is difficult and has historically involved many people.

Agnes accommodated our family to ensure we had a great interactive experience! A+++ experience - This was a nice and relaxing tour, a 40 minute drive from Marsala with a lot of history, hands on experiences and tastings. We arrived early and were accommodated to start the tour inside the museum instead of outside. A member of our group wasn’t feeling well and Agnes offered something to eat to help. The museum tour was very informative with pictures, tools and equipment used back in the day. Explanations of the process were explained thoroughly. Once completed, the tour continued outside near the different salt pans. An enclosed room outside “salt lab” allowed for touching and sampling the salt and body scrub products. Afterwards, you take an approximate 20 minute walk around the salt pans where information that was previously explained is shown in person. At the end of the tour, you’re able to stop at the restaurant on site and have a nice lunch with beautiful views. Highly recommended with highly knowledgeable staff.
