Excellent and friendly tour guide - Alessio was friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour. The vehicle was clean and arrived on time. Alessio did especially well with our (slightly grumpy!) toddler. His English is very clear and articulate.

Discovering Salt with Alessio - They are an incredible place, where nature and history come together perfectly. With Alessio as guide, the visit is even more interesting. And very prepared and knows how to tell many details about the history of the salt pans. The landscape, with its windmills and salt vats, is beautiful. A unique and well explained experience, which I highly recommend to those visiting Trapani!

Absolutely not to be missed - Trapani Salt Pans are a truly fascinating place, where nature, history and tradition blend into a unique landscape. The visit was very pleasant and interesting, thanks to the guide, who proved prepared, helpful and friendly, managing to transmit with passion the value of this heritage. The salt pans offer suggestive views, especially at sunset, it is an experience that definitely deserves to be lived.

Unmissable salt pan visit and experience. - Really glad we booked this tour as we had a passionate guide who accommodated our request for an early morning tour. Alessandro has great knowledge of the history of the salt pans as well as local wildlife which brought the tour to life for us. His English was really good and he was very amiable and made all communications really easy. Highly recommend this tour.
