I loved the way the tour is organized. It's a new experience for me. Watching flamingos visiting saltpans, an individual wind mill guide for me, excellent work. And the sunset pictures absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.

Unimpressive - the guide was great and entertaining. The salt pans themselves are not very impressive.

Good visit to saltpans and museum. However our advertised English speaking guide didn’t speak English!

Very interesting tour in natural environments. Very interesting but as an English speaking person it was mostly Italian or very soft words which I couldn’t hear. AND the reason I went was to photograph the sunset on the salt pans((

This was just travel to the saltpans and back. The talk with the girl at the saltpans was very good and interesting and funny. I realise you need transport to get there which I'm happy I got but that's all this was. The information given was in Italian translated on audio to English. But for the price probably to be expected.

I loved the experience as I had no idea how salt was processed. It was a very interesting tour and the sunset was spectacular.

Fabulous trip. Clear info. Wonderful museum with English guide. Driver took us to see the flamingos too . Wonderful sunset. Worth a trip
Very clear arrangements and info from the booking agent.

It was alright, but it is not the best option for non Italian speaker as they will not split one group for english speaker. Can try and rent and ride a bike to the salt pan if you are not renting a car

I'll start with the only good thing about this trip: the museum is charming and the explanation given in English was excellent! We learned so much with an interesting visit, with humor and great knowledge from the museum’s guide. But, you can get to this museum independently with a car and taxi and book a tour of the museum directly from them. Beyond that., about the tour: It was simply unnecessary. The car that picked us up had an antipathetic driver who didn't speak a word of English, and every time we got out of the car, he smoked in our faces. He also didn’t explain why the car stopped , if we should get down or anything else. The explanations given inside the car were recorded, monotonous, and incomprehensible. Boring. Just a series of facts from Wikipedia, and the volume was too loud. The "Flamingo Road" is beautiful, but we didn't see a single bird. And you can get to it alone, because it's next to the museum. Don’t waste your money on this tour, book a visit in the museum directly with them.

This was disappointing all around. First I waited 25 minutes at the pickup point. We slowly rode to the salt pans with some recorded voice narration. We were dropped at the side of the road to walk and look at some salt pans, then picked up and driven the rest of the way to the museum. The museum itself is interesting. However, the driver left us there after, stating he would be back in an hour to an hour and a half. All in all, the trip door to door was over 3.5 hours for approximately 30 interesting minutes

I was lpicked up at my location timely. Very nice sunset over the salt pans. And the museum story engaging!

The museum guide was interesting but the tour was overpriced for what was offered. A little dissapointed
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Good morning kind Doreen,
the tour we offer is a project to enhance the Trapani area and the beauty the city can offer tourists.
Included in the price of the tour is the pick-up and drop-off of participants throughout the city of Trapani, entrance to the museum, the use of binoculars, and the initial tour with an audio guide in the car.
We thank you in any case for the positive review and wish you a good day.

Everything works fine from booking, pickup in the minibus at the agreed place, driving and the very experience at the salt museum.
However, it is too bad that the driver only speaks Italian and cannot stand up to English.

Very convenient tour, as you can indicate the pick-up point. Salvatore, the driver very nice and professional. The very detailed bilingual guide with the storytelling really curated. The sunset photo moment and the complete tour with also hints about the city of Trapani, make it all very suggestive and advisable. You can also see flamingos, if the period allows.

Non avevo mai visto i fenicotteri dal vivo, è stato una bella esperienza, poi è stata anche bella la passeggiata alle saline con il tramonto.
