Renato was an amazing driver and host for the trip. He was friendly from beginning to end and knew a lot about the history and significance of the places we went to. He was also a good driver. The views in the van made the trip worth it but there was so much more. Erice was stunning, Marsala salt flats were great to see and the visit to Baglio Donna Franco was a great way to end it. The wine was very tasty and the the tour of the winery was nice. Food was excellent and all freshly made there at the farm.

Really cool to see the castle town of Erice, Salt pans, and winery in Marsala. The winery was certainly the highlight. Very welcoming service. Only thing was it is a lot of travel. We traveled more than our tour which, if expected, is completely worth the experience!

Our guide Gigi was amazing, she was personable and knowledgeable! Along the drive she gave so much information about the history and culture of the area. She was dedicated to making this excursion a memorable one. Our driver was very safe and actually followed the driving laws unlike all of the other tours I went on wirh other companies. I felt safe which made this a relaxing and enjoyable trip.

Our tour of Erice and Marsala was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and our guide Luca and driver Renato made the day truly special. Erice felt like stepping back in time — the medieval streets, breathtaking views, and delicious pastries were a dream. Marsala was equally impressive, especially our lunch at a beautiful winery and visiting the beautiful salt flats. What I loved most was how much passion and knowledge our guide shared about Sicilian history, culture, and traditions. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it felt like being welcomed into the heart of Sicily. I left with amazing memories, stunning photos, and a real appreciation for this incredible region. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting western Sicily — it’s a perfect mix of history, scenery, and authentic local experiences! 🌅🍷 Grazie Mille Aggie

Renato was an excellent guide and driver for the day. He went out of his way to ensure that we all had time to explore the towns and sites along the way. The lunch and wine tasting at the winery was a highlight and complimented the day. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Extremely well organized excursion. Communication and preparation were excellent. This company treats their guests with utmost care. Luca was such an informed and accommodating host and Renato the perfect driver. Erice boasts spectacular views, the salt pans are an amazing site to view and the winery in Marsala was stunning, the food and wine exceeded expectations.
