Exciting insight - Interesting information about the history of the Trabucchi, live demo of the working method (unfortunately without fishing success), short apéro at the end. The Association for the Conservation of Trabucchi deserves our support. Therefore the price of 18€ per person is ok.

Travel through time - The trebuchet fishing experience was among the most beautiful during our holiday in Vieste. The guide Gianni, together with the overflowing masters Peppino and Natale guided us on a journey into the past and explained all the secrets of this engineering masterpiece that is the trebuchet. Young and old were involved in fishing and the final aperitif, Bellissimo!

Garganic suggestion - Visit instructive and suggestive at the same time. We got to know the story of Molinella's Trebuchet and helped the overflowing masters turn the winches to pull up the net! My son had a great time. Thank you. Pola D.

Demonstration of trebuchet fishing - Beautiful guided tour of the overflow with fishing demonstration with the association La Rinascita dei Trabucchi Storici. The proceeds collected through these guided tours are used for the conservation and reconstruction of trebuchets. Recommended!

Experience not to be missed on the Gargano - Gianni, guide of the non-profit organization, and Peppino and Natale, master trabuccai, will guide you in a unique experience. You will discover when they were born, how they work and why these beautiful examples of local culture have been out of use for so many years.

UNIQUE EMOTIONS - A beautiful historical and cultural experience to do at least once in a lifetime. Great fun also for children who participate with enthusiasm. Includes a small aperitif with wine, olives, taralli and other appetizers. The guide is very nice and prepared, while the fishermen demonstrate all their experience in fishing on the trebuchet, giving unique emotions.

No Show - We waited for 30 minutes, and called two phone numbers, but nobody showed up. It is very difficult to request a refund through TripAdvisor.
