Excellent well-thought through tour - The experience with Alessio was wonderful. My husband was unwell so it ended up being just me. The tour covered the Florio Winery and some of the Trapani salt pans, both absolutely fascinating and such important parts of Sicily’s history. Alessio was full of information, very personable, responsive and punctual. He indulged my flamingo chasing desires by stopping at little points to let me try to take photos. He also gave us great recommendations for Trapani and Erice. Highly recommend this experience. Just want to come back to western Sicily immediately— still so much to see!

Journey to the land of Marsala - Turning a “winery tasting” into an authentic immersive journey into the history and geography of the area is not usual ... Alessio has worked this “magic” with a simplicity and sympathy that you would hardly find in any experience of this type ... lovely 🫶

Unforgettable experience with Alessio! - An unforgettable experience! Alessio’s Mothia lagoon tour was rich with history and fascinating insights into traditional salt making.
Following this, Alessio took us to the Pellegrino winery in Marsala. This experience was equally superb, with excellent wines and expert explanations by the winery’s host.
Alessio’s knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail made this a truly exceptional day. Highly recommended!

Wide-ranging tour of Trapani & Marsala - We toured w/Alessio of Trapani Emotions on a lovely Saturday afternoon . We went on the Lagoon & Marsala Wine Tasting tour.
We were met in Trapani and transported by comfortable van to see the salt pans ,and then onto a boat for a tour of the lagoon. From there we went to Marsala,and the Pelligrino Marsala wine tasting. Alessio was very knowledgeable and engaging; his van was comfortable ,clean ,and cool.
We enjoyed every aspect of the tour and would recommend it!

Completely successful tour - Perfectly organized trip to Marsala for wine tasting and visit of the salt fields in front of Mothia. In between interesting and entertaining conversations with the guide Alessio. Very friendly, accommodating and speaks good English > only recommended 👍☺️
We even made an unscheduled stop in the old town of Marsala before the wine tasting and continued the tour a bit after finishing the planned 4h.
