The history and tradition of the collection and cultivation of salt, told by an expert guide as you navigate around them.
Wine tasting and typical local products
Alessio was so knowledgeable about the salt making process. He made the tour interesting, relaxing and fun as well. The drive from Trapani to the salt pans was so beautiful and picturesque. We tasted a variety of salt and we're amazed how different and special salt can be. I would highly recommend Alessio for your salt experience.
Fantastic experience! My wife and I had the best time, and Alessio our tour guide was outstanding. Our train to the meeting point was cancelled so we were worried we would miss the tour, but very kindly Alessio was able to save us and give us a fantastic experience separately - even though it was our mistake! The salt pans are beautiful, and we learned SO much. The food and wine tasting was superb, we love Marsala wine! Would definitely recommend this tour if you are in the area.
One of the best tours I have been on. Alessio's knowledge, attention to detail, and fun personality made the trip a hit Also, Marsala Salt Flats and the Mazia Island boat trip was amazing!
We drove in a lovely van to the marsala salt area. Our passionate guide taught us so much about the ancient and current art of salt production in the area. The boat trip was fun and very educational. We could see the interesting archaeological ruins in the area from the boat. Then we tasted and learned about wine production in the area with pairings with local chocolate. We loved it!
This adventure far exceeded my expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the salt flats. We learned so much that really changed the way we think about salt. The tasting at the end was an eye opener and was really enjoyable. We made some great new friends and had a great time.
The trip was interesting,our guide was a really nice person,collect all our group sharp on time and bring back the same.The process of salt producing and local Marsala wine testing was new experience.Thank you
Both the tour, and provider (Alessio) were excellent -- we had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the area, the islands, and salt production both historical, and contemporary. The views were lovely -- quite a contrast to the rest of Sicily, being so flat. We saw of the salt harvest, and some of the pans full of salt, as well as heard about the whole process. It is a beautiful place with many colours! Alessio was great, and very passionate. We had a smooth transfer to the pans from Trapani, and Alessio shared his knowledge en route. He also helped us avoid some of the tourist traps whilst shopping. And gave a great tasting of some chocolate, and some local wines too! Would recommend -- particularly if you're coming during the harvest months (we came just at the end, 20th September)
Beautiful Experience, Alessio was a great guide and explained everything accurately. I suggest this trip of you are in Trapani
Dear Alessio, It was a fantastic, unforgettable tour with many beautiful impressions! You impressed us with your expertise, knowledge, and kindness! One can feel that you love and live your profession! Thanks again and all the best to you!! Best regards, Family D.
Ah, Trapani Emotions! LOVED it. A highlight for us in Sicily. Alessio was waiting for us and he had a great welcoming sense and was upbeat, funny and just all-around wonderful! There were six adults and we all enjoyed his insights, stories and recommendations. Loved the Marsala tasting at Florio Winery, and the lagoon boat trip around was a welcomed break from the heat. So interesting, relaxing and easy. The van had the best air conditioning of all our vehicles in Italy. Great value for the money and just the best guide/owner! Thank you, Alessio!
Highly recommend using Alessio he was super informative, on time polite professional wonderful wonderful genuine person. So lucky to of met him. Can’t say enough good things about him. Definitely book this trip with him !
The guide was excellent full of knowledge with some humour. We had local wine tasting with a twist. However we thought it was a bit expensive for what it was.
We had such an incredible time with Alessio! He's very professional and reached out in advance to make sure we knew where to meet him and how to contact him. He is very interesting and knows a lot about the salt pans. Alessio was very patient with questions and showed us the best spot for the sunset. I'd highly recommend this!
Alessio is such a lovely guide. He is so full of knowledge. You can feel the passion in his voice so you know he loves what he does. His van is immaculately clean. And his tour is perfect. I would use him on any of his tours. Excellent.

The salt pans are a fascinating place in themselves, but the visit with Alessio really made a difference. Very well prepared, engaging, with a transversal competence ranging from history to biology, passing through archaeology and environment. He guided us with passion, making every detail interesting and accessible. A rich and authentic experience, highly recommended for those who love to discover places with new eyes!
Virtually private motorboat ride. We left at 7.30pm and it was just the five of us. We toured the salt pan and then Captain Beppe set course for the island of Mozia where he stopped to let us admire the sunset offering us a small aperitif. It's beautiful.
Interesting and pleasant trip Alessio's competence and passion make the places, already extraordinary in themselves, an experience not to be missed Highly recommended

What can I say... everything was wonderful... ALESSIO A VERY PREPARED PERSON... thank you so much we had an excellent experience... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Am besten hat und der Guide selbst gefallen. Er war sehr lustig und alles was er erzählt hat sehr interessant. Beeindruckend war auch die Insel Mozia, die wir mit dem Boot umrundet haben und der Sonnenuntergang über den Salinen und Windmühle.
Great experience. Alessio explained everything in detail and was very accommodating. He knows an incredible amount about culture, cuisine and history. We arrived late at the meeting point and Alessio guided us there so that we could still take part in the tour.
The museum in Mozia is very interesting and beautiful. The view is spectacular. Nice to see the park where the finds are.
I contacted Alessio Cicero (Trapani Emotions) a few weeks ago to book a boat tour - with my wife - of the island of Mothia and the Marsala salt pans. Alessio is a guide with excellent preparation on all fronts. Cultured, brilliant, nice, ironic. I would definitely recommend it with my eyes closed!!!!!!!! Thank you very much for the nice experience.
