The Salt Tour with Alessio was wonderful! His directions and photos of both the van and the meeting spot made it very easy to find. He had detailed knowledge about the history and process of the salt pans. He was even familiar with my home town dubbed "Salt City" in upstate New York where salt was mined for hundreds of years from underneath a lake. Our tour was in the off season and there were fewer people present (just 3 of us) than I believe would attend during the summer. However he was just as enthusiastic as if he were addressing a large group. I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you... 😊

Allesio gave us an eye opening tour on the history of salt manufacturing, and what makes good salt! His extensive knowledge and passion for educating on the health benefits of Trapani's integrale salt really changed our c perspective. No more Himalayan sea salt for us!

Great choice! Thank you!

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

Alissio’s knowledge of the history of salt mining was incredible. I was especially impressed with his explanation of the system of 12 as a divisor, instead of decimal 10 system. Also how the width of roof tiles was made in the shape of the artisan’s thigh. Alissio was also very flexible in adjusting the tour time to accommodate our schedule due to traffic issues.

Our tour guide, Alessio, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. My wife and I learned more than we expected. It’s a great way to know the area.

Really great and very informative trip with Alessio. Alessio was a great guide. Would def recommend.

Whilst the tour guide is nice and knowledgeable, the experience is definitely not worth the money. You are better off just getting a taxi to the salt museum or driving there if you've rented a car.

Alessio has been in the hospitality business for a long time and has lived and traveled around the world before returning back to Italy. His knowledge of the Salt Pans is extensive and his passion shines through. The tour was exactly as described. We stopped at three different sites and along the way he shared his knowledge of salt pans in Italy and around the world. We learned so many fascinating facts. We highly recommend this tour. It would be even better during harvesting season July - September if you are looking for photos of the salt.

veery knowledgable about the history and Alessio was very entertaining. sadly there were clouds so we couldn’t see the susnset over the salt flats but a very enjoyable tour.

Learning how sea salt is harvested and how the process continues to be partially manual was fascinating.
Our guide was informative and professional.
The vistas were spectacular in the evening with the sunset.
Would recommend as a family excursion or as a romantic activity.

Alessio was great guy. He knows everything about salt and we learned so much about salt. Great trip :)

Alessio is a walking encyclopedia of how premium table salt is made. He also explained the influence this ancient industry had on the region’s culture. Tour includes visit to one of the family salt farms with its lovely old buildings and roof-top windmill. We highly recommend this tour!

Gruppo meraviglioso

Excursion tout compris, de la prise en charge, le musée du sel, et un guide privé ! Alessio parle italien et anglais, nous avons dû faire quelques efforts, étant français, mais sans aucun regret. Très belle promenade à faire dans les salines de Trapani / Nubia. A faire absolument.
Andreas_S, Sep 2024
Tolle Tour! Interessante Führung durch die Salzgewinnung inklusive Einblick in die Vergangenheit im kleinen aber feinen Salzmuseum und einem Spaziergang durch die Salzpfannen.
marco_b, Jan 2024
la visita non è stata effettuata in quanto la persona che doveva prelevarci all'appuntamento indicato non si è presentata.
Monica_G, Sep 2023
Bellissimo tour, tante informazioni descritte in maniera esemplare e con tanta passione.
Alessio veramente bravo.

Gran guía Alessio, muy simpático, muy informado y convirtió el paseo en una clase sobre la historia de la producción de la sal
Mario_V, Apr 2022
La realtà delle saline ha superato le nostre aspettative anche grazie alla preziosa professionalità e simpatia di Alessio che è riuscito a trasmetterci il suo amore per questa terra meravigliosa.

Tour molto interessante! Alessio è molto chiaro nelle spiegazioni e fornisce tanti aneddoti e curiosità. La Salina al tramonto poi è veramente una meraviglia
Santi_G, Sep 2021
Esperienza molto interessante per bambini e adulti. Alessio la guida molto simpatico, ci ha spiegato tutta la lavorazione del sale in modo semplice e x le bimbe facile da capire… lo consiglio vivamente
Diana_S, Jul 2021

Alessio è stato veramente super
Tour molto suggestivo e interessante
La storia del sale spiegata nel migliore dei modi
Una tradizione da non perdere
Tramonto una meraviglia
Michele_B, Jul 2020
tour davvero fenomenale, paesaggio suggestivo con un tramonto meraviglioso. Guida molto preparata. Purtroppo l’unica pecca è stata la durata: a fine tour c’è stato proposto di fare un aperitivo alle saline (in un contesto tra l’altro meraviglioso). Peccato però che l’aperitivo Fosse un di più; il costo era extra (10€ ) e soprattutto portava il tour ad una durata molto superiore a quella concordata. Noi avevamo prenotato una cena al ristorante e abbiamo dovuto posticipare rischiando di perdere la prenotazione. Inoltre essendo in un gruppo eterogeneo di persone sconosciute e sceglie la maggioranza e non cera la possibilità di rifiutare.L’idea è molto carina ma andrebbe messa come opzione nella descrizione del tour.
