Knowledgeable and caring guide - Alessio was great and very knowledgeable. It was a fun trip and he took good care of us. We were with 2 couples so it felt like a private tour. Recommended

Lovely tour and gorgeous wine shop - Really nice tour with some historical information about the winery and Marsala in general. Food and wine were very delicious. The wine shop must not be missed as it’s a beauty!

What a great tour! - We had the best time with Alessio. He picked us up from the airport and immediately took us out for a wonderful and knowledgable tour of the salt pans outside Trapani and the oldest winery in Marsala. At the end, he dropped us at our hotel and had some wonderful restaurant recommendations in town as well. If you are visiting Trapani, definitely book a tour with Trapani Emotions!
P.S. we thought two nights would be enough, but wish we stayed another day just to keep eating!

A Taste of Western Sicily - Alessio was very knowledge about the area, and really accommodating of our needs, especially my elderly mom. The weather was rough but the salt flats were fascinating and the Marsala wine tasting excellent!

a dive into the history of a corner of Sicily - Guided tour with final tasting. Excellent organization, very good guide and capable of capturing the attention of a very heterogeneous audience. The visit lasted half an hour and the tasting another 15 minutes

Completely successful tour - Perfectly organized trip to Marsala for wine tasting and visit of the salt fields in front of Mothia. In between interesting and entertaining conversations with the guide Alessio. Very friendly, accommodating and speaks good English > only recommended 👍☺️
We even made an unscheduled stop in the old town of Marsala before the wine tasting and continued the tour a bit after finishing the planned 4h.

Great tour with Alessio - Wonderful afternoon with Alessio. Great salt tour and boat tour in Marsala and he was extremely knowledgeable. We had also a tour at Florio that was presented by someone from the winery. Very interesting on the history of the winery but that was very expeditious.
