Our experience was positive! - We booked the Trapani airport to city transfer and arranged everything on WhatsApp. Alessio was very kind and friendly. And despite the flight being delayed over 2 hours, they were there waiting for us! I am grateful and highly recommend it!

True salt experience - Alessio was so knowledgeable about the salt making process. He made the tour interesting, relaxing and fun as well. The drive from Trapani to the salt pans was so beautiful and picturesque. We tasted a variety of salt and we're amazed how different and special salt can be. I would highly recommend Alessio for your salt experience.

Fantastic experience! - Fantastic experience! My wife and I had the best time, and Alessio our tour guide was outstanding. Our train to the meeting point was cancelled so we were worried we would miss the tour, but very kindly Alessio was able to save us and give us a fantastic experience separately - even though it was our mistake! The salt pans are beautiful, and we learned SO much. The food and wine tasting was superb, we love Marsala wine!
Would definitely recommend this tour if you are in the area.

Great experience with lots of info and great boat tour - We had a nice afternoon with lots of information about the different ways of extracting salt. Our Gide was super friendly, could answer questions competently and also gladly shared information about country and people in general. A special highlight was the wine tasting with chocolate. Highly recommended - thank you!

Unique experience at the salt pans of Mozia – thanks Alessio! - The salt pans are a fascinating place in themselves, but the visit with Alessio really made a difference. Very well prepared, engaging, with a transversal competence ranging from history to biology, passing through archaeology and environment.
He guided us with passion, making every detail interesting and accessible. A rich and authentic experience, highly recommended for those who love to discover places with new eyes!
