    Guided tour of Segeste and Erice with Dominic

    Dominic was great. He paced the tour well, taking time to explain not only what we saw but also giving historical ans social/cultural context.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for using our services.

    Excellent

    Our tour to Erice and the west coast was our second tour with Mimmo. In addition to his wonderful knowledge, he also has a great sense of humour. I could not ask for anything more. Wonderful experiences all round. We spent 2 days with him but wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants a multi day tour of Sicily. He is also a good driver (helps in Sicily). Mimmo was absolutely spot on, just as you would hope for top dollar service and value! He was generous with his time and provided lots of factual, interesting information. Roy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for enjoying the tour with us. Wish you all the best and looking forward to take you around again with Mimmo Sicily Tours.

    Disappointing!!!

    We were supposed to spend one hour at the temple and one hour at the teatro in Segesta. As it turned out, we never got to Erice until two in the afternoon after having been picked up at 9:00 in the morning. We then had lunch with our guide trying to find a restaurant that was still open at that time. In Erice we only toured around for a few minutes since it was so late. Erice had so much more to offer than Segesta and we missed most of it. I think it was poor planning and maybe we should have said something when our guide was repetitive and needed to do a dissertation on emotions. Our guide asked us if we wanted to walk up to the teatro in Segesta....we said sure only to find out by my Apple Watch that we climbed 39 flights of stairs. Had we known it was as far as it was, we never would have agreed to walk up there. This was very expensive for what it turned out to be.

    Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, we’re sorry the tour didn’t match your expectations. Please, always read carefully the infos for a tour, since this one says clearly that it’s about History, Culture, Medieval. You were not looking for a culturally oriented day, but party… since the 4 of you wanted to drink a bottle of wine (inside the luxury van) on the winding roads to Erice.

    Stellar Guide

    Mimmo was the best guide we had in Italy. He knows all of Sicily. We spent 2 days with him. He knows the best and avoids a Tourist Traps. He customized to our needs. He went beyond any guide duties to assist with family heritage research. He knows where all the good food is and best pictures to take. His 2018 Mercedes Van makes it comfortable to cover long distances. Highly recommended. English was perfecto!

    Response from the operator: WOW...Stellar…!!! What can I say, with people like you it comes all naturally. Mimmo

    ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.

    How much does ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver cost?

    +

    Prices start at $743 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.

    Is ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Palermo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Palermo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Palermo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver?

    +

    Does ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver include hotel pickup?

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 102 listed pickup locations in and around Palermo. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver offered in?

    +

    Is ERICE and SEGESTA Private Tour from Palermo with Guide Driver wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
