Fantastic. - This was truly fantastic. Alessandro was so friendly and explained the process well. The photos are amazing. We visited a 600 year old windmill and seeing how hard the conditions were. We learnt a lot about salt! Highlight was seeing the flamingos!

Fantastic trip to Trapani salt pans - Great trip with nice scenery and information. Alessio knows his stuff and his takes about the processing of salt were fascinating. We had beautiful sunset view of the pans and I recommend taking the latest slot of the day (3 pm). There are cheaper options but this is a long one 2.5 hours and well worth the money

A place to visit - Beautiful experience. The perfect guide. In the first salt pan we saw pink flamingos. The salt museum very impressive, makes you go back to the past. Clear and precise explanations. We really enjoyed it. We chose this tour also because it starts from the cita, convenient meeting point. Recommended who is without the car.

Salt and aunset - Alessio taught us so much about salt—and I thought I was knowledgeable as both a chef and history teacher. It was a pleasure being with him any others. Additionally the sunset is amazing

Alessio, an exceptional guide! - Mr. Alessio is an exceptional guide: he knows the territory perfectly and has vast skills about salt cultivation. Punctual, extremely kind and helpful. Excellent communication also via whatsapp that allowed us to have clear info regarding schedules and prices. Safe and responsible driving. Car spotless and equipped with every comfort. I highly recommend both the tour to the Trapani salt pans and the one to the Marsala salt pans. For any doubt or need write to him, he will respond immediately and accurately.
