Great day trip! - Wonderful day trip! Francesco gave us just the right amount of time to shop and take breaks in between activities. The day was paced well, we stopped at a cafe before heading to Erice. We also saw salt flats, Marsala (amazing wine tasting with a lunch of superb tapas foods!!) Would definitely recommend this trip.

An interesting variety of activities - A lovely day trip out of Palermo with a variety of activities. The drive was scenic through the massive cliffs and hills with views over the sea, and the vista of vineyards and olive groves. We visited the historic medieval hilltop town, the salt pans and enjoyed a delightful lunch with wine at a historic vineyard.

We had a beautiful walk around Erice, followed by the salt flats and ending up at a gorgeous Marsala winery where we had a tour, tasting and delicious lunch. Renato’s excellent driving and guidance throughout made this interesting trip all the more special. Highly recommend!

The offer included three... - The offer included three promised activities: visits to two towns and lunch. We did visit Erice and had lunch, although it was neither particularly generous nor varied—especially considering the rather steep price of the event. However, the second promised town, Marsala, was skipped altogether. So, do be careful and make sure you’re actually getting what was promised and paid for.

We had difficulty finding... - We had difficulty finding the meeting point and they were kind enough to help us out when we were lost. The shuttle was comfortable and air conditioned. Unfortunately the guide did not speak or understand English as advertised. We’ve been driving for an hour now and have no idea what we are seeing or anything about your city or country. Hopefully it will get better than just riding along the highway
