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!

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.

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.

Super Erfahrung Alessio hat alles ausführlich erklärt, und war sehr zuvorkommend. Er weiß unglaublich viel über Kultur , kulinarik und Geschichte. Wir kamen zu spät zum treffpunkt und Alessio hat uns hingelotst, sodass wir doch noch an der Führung teilnehmen konnten.

Molto interessante, bello il museo a Mozia. Spettacolare la veduta . Bello vedere il parco dove ci sono i reperti.
