An interesting experience

An interesting experience both for us parents and for our children who listened, observed what Alessandro told with so much passion. Also very engaging is the workshop proposed to our children to make their soap. Thank you so much!!!

Museum tour

This was an amazing experience for our group. Host is very welcoming and the area is located in the heart of olive tree growing. The ancient barn full of authentic ancient machinery and tools. Explanation is very interactive and never dull. An experience we will treasure. Highly recommended.

Fantastic!

This place is a must-see in Sicily! Booking in advance is required but Alessandro is really flexible so he provided a tour to us on the same day of our call. The tour was really interesting and funny on the same time for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!
