Salvatore was an excellent guide. Polite funny and very informative about all the places we travelled on the trip. The transport was clean and comfortable and air-conditioned. We saw Erice before the crowds decended for the day. The tour of the winery was lovely and the lunch they served with tastings was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.
