Erice & Marsala tour - Did this full day tour with Renato. There were only 4 other ladies on this tour so it was very friendly. Renato is a star. Although not a tour guide, he was very informative and interesting to speak to about all sorts of things. He looked after us extremely well. The tour itself was excellent. The tour of the winery at Marsala and the lunch there at the end was great.

awesome - this is a great tour the destinations are lovely. renato our driver was great! we had a fantastic time

Fantastic trip to Erice... - Fantastic trip to Erice and Marsala. Wonderful lunch at the winery, and great views throughout the day.

Memorable experience! - Awesome experience! Renato was a great guide. He took us to Castellmarre del Golfo, then Erice, the salt pans and finally an awesome lunch and wine tasting in Marsalla. A great day!

Towns of Italy - Big shout out to Towns of Italy here in Palermo. We have completed two tours with them and their guides are superb and loaded with knowledge. Yesterday’s Guide & Driver were Renate and Francesco, who both, from the off, greeted us very warmly and treated us as though we were friends who had know each other for many years - we were a small group of four, the other couple were American who have relocated to Edinburgh 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️- they love it and wouldn’t make any changes. Anyway, getting back on track - the first stop of the tour was to the mountain town/village of Erice - absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene. In its day it boasted approx 100 churches but now there are only around 5/6 in regular use, some only available for Weddings, Christenings and other holy celebrations. We visited the oldest bakery and were greeted by Grammarica Maria herself. She is around 80 years old and she started the bakery. We were served 2 x speciality pasties and coffee - delicious. Our next stop was the Salt Pans of Marsala - quite beautiful. The windmills are no longer working due to technology advances but they still looked very attractive. Of course, we couldn’t visit Marsala without having wine tasting and a Sicilian Lunch at the famous winery of the Florio family. A prominent entrepreneurial Italian family who started making and selling and exporting the world famous Marsala wine in the nineteenth century. Almost everything the winery produces is home grown and organic including the pasta served. The exception to this was the sheep’s cheese. The sheep however are from a neighbouring farm and are also organically raised! The winery guide Petro was very informative and loved answering our many questions. The wine tasting was part of our lunch experience with Petro explaining the dishes, the order in which to eat them and the wine being served with each of the courses. Fabulous experience and delicious food. Following lunch which finished around 3:00ish, we travelled back to Palermo to conclude our tour!

Great value for money - Transport was on time (around 08:00) at the meeting point and smooth between locations. Just be aware that you are on your own and no guide, which is fine for us. Great value for money. We arrived back around 3 pm, so it is just a bit more then hald day tour.

Fabulous country escape from Palermo - Wonderful escape to the lovely Erice with plenty of time to take in the views. Renato was an excellent guide showing us around the village and the main attractions. Donna Franca winery tour and lunch were exceptional. Very knowledgeable gentleman who explained all about the wines and the history of the winery. Stop at the Marsala salt pans was also very interesting. Thanks Renato and Giovanni for a special day. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Outstanding as always!! - Absolutely outstanding trip. From top to bottom. Our host was the absolute best. This is one for the books. Well Done !!!!

Perfect venture westward from Palermo - This tour is a great way to venture westward from Palermo comfortably. Erice is a city you must see when visiting Sicily. It was easy to find the meeting point. Our driver Renato was a good-humored and radiant guy. The whole tour was great thanks to him. We didn't rush anywhere; we traveled comfortably. We had time to look around and take photos. Our first stop was Erice. We arrived early, so we managed to walk around empty streets. That little pastry shop was a brilliant resting spot. Then we headed to Marsala to see the salt marshes and windmills. After that, we went for lunch and visited a winery. It was a very nice and cozy place. They welcomed us with delicious wines and lunch. I can only recommend this experience.

Day out to Erice. - Great guide Renado...very knowledgable ..and a good driver. Beautiful scenery even though it was raining. Amazing tour of winery and only 3 of us. Would highly recommend.
