A charming, instructive experience - The grandchildren of the founder guided us to visit the museum and the basins for the production of salt. The museum displays the old tools and gives an idea of the hard working conditions of the past. Walking along the basins one can observe the different colours of water depending on salt concentration, which increases up to the point that allows salt harvesting. A charming, instructive experience.

A great tour - The tour through the various salt lakes and the use of the Archimedes screw was particularly interesting.

Experience not to be missed - The visit to the museum and the salt pans was very interesting, beyond my expectations. The owners know how to transmit great passion in addition to their knowledge and family history and territory.

Worth the visit - This excursion offers the opportunity to visit the salt pans of Trapani. Very well organized. You can see the pink flamingos, the salt pan museum still operating and wait for the sunset for the very suggestive photos.

Don't miss it! - Beautiful visit! Very interesting The passion of the girls who tell the story of the family certainly makes a difference. Recommendation the visit before sunset to enjoy the wonderful colors reflected in the salt pans. Too bad there is no public transport service from the center of Trapani.

Small but a must when you're around - We don't often think about our salt on the table but because of the small family business and museum you get a very nice insight into how the salt is created past and present.

It was very interesting... - It was very interesting and cool to learn about this process. We got to see all of the steps of production, try some salt, and tour a museum which was very interesting.
