Perfect, quick activity in Sciacca for family
Great little tour on an active olive farm about a 10 minute drive from Sciacca’s historic center. Alessandro is the owner/operator and was friendly, informative and passionate throughout the tour. Brief explanation of everything that goes into cultivating olives and agriculture in general out in the field and then a brief tour inside the soap museum that explained the history and differences of soap. Fun little add on for kids was to scent your own soap as a souvenir, which the kids got a kick out of. We went with two young kids and Alessandro was very welcoming and entertaining to them and it was a perfect short activity to do before going to the beach. Would recommend to friends.

Enjoy learning and seeing what’s behind the soap you take for granted
Great tour given in an easy to follow personable way. Fun and very interesting while giving a ton of information about agriculture, soap making, history and science and how they all fit together. Good exhibits at the museum.

Soaper experience! ;)
Our visit to the Soap Museum was nothing short of extraordinary! The highlight of our experience was making our own soap—a truly unique and memorable activity. We were thrilled to take our handmade soap home, allowing us to escape to Sicily even on the rainiest days in Belgium every time we wash our hands.
The olive tour was another standout moment. We learned more in this visit than we did during an olive tour we had booked earlier that week. The museum's commitment to ecological farming is impressive and inspiring.
Alessandro, our guide, brought the museum to life with his passion and enthusiasm. He truly made our visit special, sharing his knowledge with such joy and dedication. We wish him all the best, and may all his (gin) dreams come true!
Grazie mille, Alessandro, per tutto!

Beautiful experience.
Beautiful experience, Alessandro has the ability to make you relive the history of soap and excite you with his stories. The museum is situated in a wonderful landscape, among over ten varieties of olive trees all between the mountains and the sea.
The price is symbolic considering Alessandro's presentation.
I highly recommend it.
