Watch flamingos at sunset, explore Sicily’s historic salt pans, and visit a windmill museum on this practical Trapani tour.
“we had such a happy experience on this tour. Our guide was calm, kind and patient while we visited the salt flats and took in the scenery. We were delivered to the museum, where we were given an excellent, informative explanation about the harvesting of salt through the decades, it's social and economic history for the region and the physical toll for those working in the early industry. It was fascinating and gave us a better understanding of the area. Following the tour we had time to enjoy some refreshments and watch the sunset. It was the most spectacular sunset! We even saw a formation of flamingos flying overhead 😊…”
