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.

One of the best tours I have been on. Alessio's knowledge, attention to detail, and fun personality made the trip a hit Also, Marsala Salt Flats and the Mazia Island boat trip was amazing!

We drove in a lovely van to the marsala salt area. Our passionate guide taught us so much about the ancient and current art of salt production in the area. The boat trip was fun and very educational. We could see the interesting archaeological ruins in the area from the boat. Then we tasted and learned about wine production in the area with pairings with local chocolate. We loved it!

This adventure far exceeded my expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the salt flats. We learned so much that really changed the way we think about salt. The tasting at the end was an eye opener and was really enjoyable. We made some great new friends and had a great time.

Both the tour, and provider (Alessio) were excellent -- we had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the area, the islands, and salt production both historical, and contemporary. The views were lovely -- quite a contrast to the rest of Sicily, being so flat. We saw of the salt harvest, and some of the pans full of salt, as well as heard about the whole process. It is a beautiful place with many colours! Alessio was great, and very passionate. We had a smooth transfer to the pans from Trapani, and Alessio shared his knowledge en route. He also helped us avoid some of the tourist traps whilst shopping. And gave a great tasting of some chocolate, and some local wines too! Would recommend -- particularly if you're coming during the harvest months (we came just at the end, 20th September)

Ah, Trapani Emotions! LOVED it. A highlight for us in Sicily. Alessio was waiting for us and he had a great welcoming sense and was upbeat, funny and just all-around wonderful! There were six adults and we all enjoyed his insights, stories and recommendations. Loved the Marsala tasting at Florio Winery, and the lagoon boat trip around was a welcomed break from the heat. So interesting, relaxing and easy. The van had the best air conditioning of all our vehicles in Italy. Great value for the money and just the best guide/owner! Thank you, Alessio!
