“An excellent excursion and highly recommend. I thought I was just going on a boat ride but it was so much more. The guides got in the water with us and showed us all the wildlife and areas to explore. Lunch was excellent and having a small group experience made the day so much more enjoyable. I looked at several options and am really happy I booked this one.”

“Very nice wine tasting in the heart of Palermo. 5 generous wine glasses of local wines with different taste palettes. We were able to switch a dessert wine to another one, since were not fans of sweet wines. The Bottega is right next to the busy via Roma and easy to access by taxi or walking. A great start for a night in a restaurant! Would definitely recommend!”

From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a relaxed and enriching visit. What stood out most was the guide's deep historical knowledge—not just of the wines we tasted, but of the winery itself and its founder. They shared fascinating insights into the estate’s heritage, painting a vivid picture of its evolution and the passion that has sustained it over the years. Throughout the tour, they sprinkled in charming anecdotes that brought the place and its people to life. These stories added so much personality…”

“Our guide was great. Very engaging and knowledgeable. However, the price we paid was very expensive for the quality and quantity of food. I didn’t even have a proper Arancina! Best part was making the pizza. So many great food to try which we didn’t. Could have had a fine dining amazing meal for that price. Won’t do that again.”
