This tour is dedicated to experiencing the unconventional and alternative beautiful beaches and sea sides that can be known by locals, only. The tour can take half or full day where we can be in one or more places. It is possible to decide in advance which places to visit or rely on us for the day. For instance, we will take into consideration weather conditions, especially the wind, which can affect the experience based on the coast to visit, an issue more important than the sun. The tour covers all the coast from Trapani to Palermo province, and all the coast from Trapani to Agrigento province. One of the advantage for the excursion is that visitors will travel on our own transports from and to the pickup place in all Trapani province; from other district like Palermo or Agrigento, there is an extra supplement to cover extra transport costs.

Inclusions: Local guide, Lunch (full-day tour only), Hotel pick-up (round-trip shared transfer)

Exclusions: Gratuities, A pick-up can be arranged from any place in the district of Trapani (Trapani, Marsala, Mazara del Vallo, Alcamo, San Vito lo Capo, Erice, Castelvetrano, Castellamare del Golfo and other towns in the area), For pick-up in other districts of Sicily, there is an extra charge for transports. Palermo town: €100, other places in Palermo district: €100. Agrigento district: €120. The charges are for up to 4 people: therefore, if you are 1 person and your pick up place is in Palermo, you will pay in cash an extra €100 at the end of the tour; if you are 4 persons, each of you will pay €25 in cash at the end of the tour.

I took part in a walking tour in trapani with Gianni and It was a lovely Experience. Trapani Is a beautiful city, probably less known that It should be for its historical, artistic and Natural beauties. The food and wine tasting with Gianni was excelent, and all the information he provides during the walking tour are essential to appreciate the city . During the nice walk we passed by all the main highlights of the city and Gianni told us many important details about them, we also stopped on the way to try some Local delicacies and discuss about the importance of food in the city culture. If you want to visit trapani, i reccomend to do It with Gianni , he Is a very knowledgeble guide and, being a Local, a real Expert of the city' s best food stops!

I booked this tour online and paid €60. When I arrived at the port I saw the same trip was €40 if bought there. I paid an additional 50%for the privilege of booking online!!! Also I had to pay an additional €2.50 City tax which wasn't notified. I contacted the company and they said it was tour operator costs - no refund. They said no one had complained before - I find that really hard to believe. Unless you like throwing your money away I'd suggest waiting until you get to the port. The trip itself is enjoyable and the islands are lovely. Under covid they, naturally can't provide snorkeling equipment but definitely bring your own. So worth it. Lunch was pasta with tinned tomato and slice of melon. Bottled water was a plastic cup with lunch. A good day out if you can get past the rip off.

Four of us decided we wanted more insight to Trapani, and Massimo was the perfect host. Despite the holiday, we sampled scrumptious wine and arancini. The highlight was the laboratory of pastry. Don't miss it! Overall, great communication and service.

We made ue of this service during our vacation in Sicily from 1-6th August 2020. We were a group of 5 friends. Bruno drove us around the Trapani region throughout our vacation. He was always on time picking us up in the morning from the hotel. Coming back he was always flexible with pickup times. During the drive he always answered all of our questions. We were based in San Vito lo Capo and we travelled to these destinations Trapani windmills Erice Baglio Fontana agriturismo Segesta Mazara del Vallo On our last day Bruno drove us all the way to Taormina where we parted ways. The destinations and prices where decided beforehand so it was easy for us to plan ahead. The cars were spacious and comfortable with good air conditioning. Would definitely recommend this for anyone traveling in the Trapani region.

Were it not in the magical hour of sunset, I would not have enjoyed so much as I actually did. We were taken to Saline and after being guided through the museum, with an very efficient guide, started the best part of the tour. The tour organizer carefully planned the timing so that we had about 30 minutes until the sunset, during which I could take beautiful photos. There were also seemingly professional photographers waiting for the sunset. That only reinforces the scenic value of the setting. This made the highlight of my 8 days journey in the southern to western part of Sicily. Thank you to the tour operatour and the driver. Ciao!
