Interesting, fun and full of humor - great day with Alessio! - 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!

Highly recommended - Great experience. Alessio explained everything in detail and was very accommodating. He knows an incredible amount about culture, cuisine and history. We arrived late at the meeting point and Alessio guided us there so that we could still take part in the tour.

Tour of the Marsala salt pans - I contacted Alessio Cicero (Trapani Emotions) a few weeks ago to book a boat tour - with my wife - of the island of Mothia and the Marsala salt pans. Alessio is a guide with excellent preparation on all fronts. Cultured, brilliant, nice, ironic. I would definitely recommend it with my eyes closed!!!!!!!! Thank you very much for the nice experience.

Incredible tour! - We had such an incredible time with Alessio! He's very professional and reached out in advance to make sure we knew where to meet him and how to contact him. He is very interesting and knows a lot about the salt pans. Alessio was very patient with questions and showed us the best spot for the sunset. I'd highly recommend this!

Excellent Guide - The guide was excellent full of knowledge with some humour. We had local wine tasting with a twist. However we thought it was a bit expensive for what it was.
