Marcello was a great guide! He was very clear on drop off and pick up points and times, guided us to shuttles and where to go on our tour to Segesta and Erice from Palermo. He also provided us with plenty of great additional information for other things to do and see in the Palermo area. I thoroughly enjoyed our day. Thank you!

Nicola was an excellent guide for our day trip to Segesta, Erice and the salt pans. He kept us well informed with easy to digest historical info that contextualised the sites we were seeing. The sites were all interesting and well worth visiting. Great history, great food and lots of flamingoes. Perfect day.

Full description

The tour will start from one of the meeting points located in Palermo or Mondello beach area. Then departure to tour western Sicily where we reach Erice uptown. The Elymians settled the medieval town of Erice, which was an important religious site associated with the goddess Venus. Wander through its ancient streets and visit some of the famous homemade pastry shops—world-famous for marzipan candies and other delicacies like almond and pistachio pastries.

Later we travel through the Saltpans to see the historic salt flats works, where the ancient tradition of harvesting salt from the sea is still practiced.
Then we continue onto Segesta, one of the major cities of the ancient indigenous Elymian people, to visit the unfinished Doric temple (Admission Fee: not included), late 5th century BC, built on a hilltop just outside of the ancient city and has a commanding view of the surrounding area. Then we return to Palermo.
