What you'll see and do
Castellammare del Golfo
The first stop will be in Castellammare del Golfo, in this small and charming town which rises on the slopes of the mountain complex of Monte Inici and gives its name to the homonymous gulf overlooking the castle, bordered to the east by Capo Rama and to the west by Capo San Vito. We will stop for 30 minutes at the Bar La Sorgente just long enough to have breakfast, with the typical Sicilian pastry based on sfinci, cannoli and cassatelle. Castellammare del Golfo is today one of the most renowned seaside resorts in Sicily and one of the most beautiful seaside villages in Italy. Its territory includes the stacks of Scopello, the tonnara of Scopello, the bay of Guidaloca, the Terme Segestane and the easternmost part of the Zingaro nature reserve.

Tempio Di Segesta
After about 20 minutes on the highway, you will reach the Archaeological Park of Segesta, an ancient city with 2,800 years of history, founded by the Elymians, a people originating from ancient Troy. To see absolutely, the Ancient Theater carved into the rock on top of Monte Barbaro and the Doric Temple of Segesta, with its imposing colonnade on the edge of a cliff more than 100 meters deep. The ancient city stands on Monte Barbaro, in the municipality of Calatafimi Segesta, a few kilometers from Alcamo and Castellammare del Golfo. Other excavations have brought to light a Hellenistic-Roman town and a medieval village. This archaeological site is among the best preserved in all of Sicily, despite the numerous transformations it has undergone, and is certainly one of the most evocative places of cultural interest thanks to the visible panorama and its position on the mountain. It is currently one of the major cultural and landscape tourism destinations in the province of Trapani.

Erice
After a couple of hours (approximately), we will leave Segesta and continue in the direction of Erice, an ancient stronghold also of Elymian origin located at 750 m a.s.l. Whoever ruled Sicily over time necessarily had to conquer Erice and Enna, and so did the Romans, Arabs, Normans and Spaniards. In Erice you can breathe the fresh air and enjoy the splendid view of Trapani and the Egadi Islands, as well as taste the famous Genoese and almond paste biscuits, first fruits of the confectionary art of the cloistered nuns of the numerous existing convents. You can also have lunch in one of the many local restaurants and trattorias and taste the traditional Trapani cuisine, or stop in some fryer and enjoy a nice Arancina or a nice piece of Rianata (local pizza).

Castello di Venere
The Castle of Venus is a 12th century Norman castle that stands on an isolated cliff in the south-eastern corner of the summit of Mount Erice, in the province of Trapani, built on the ruins of an Elymian-Phoenician-Roman temple. Next to it are the towers of the Balio castle.

Cantine Florio
Around 3.30 pm we will leave the beautiful and mysterious Erice and after just an hour on the road, the fresh and clean air of Mount Erice will give way to the intense smell of salt and poseidonia. We will reach the monumental entrance of the historic Cantina Florio di Marsala, founded exactly in 1833. We will dive into the traditional culture of Marsala wine, through a guided tour in one of the oldest cellars in Sicily. Here you will taste the real Marsala, a product that has made the history of Sicilian enology thanks to the Florio family. You will have the opportunity to visit the inside of the historic cellars, at the end of the tour, you will taste three Marsala Florio wines accompanied by 3 food pairings (the duration of the experience is approximately 90 minutes). The winery was founded in 1833 in Marsala by the entrepreneur Vincenzo Florio. At the end of the tasting, you can buy the Marsala. At 18:30 you will get back in the car and you will be driven back to your hotel

Erice and Segesta tour with Marsala wine tasting
Angela was an excellent guide in Erice and Segesta. We learned a lot and she was so pleasant and knowledgeable. Antonio was a good driver, always replenishing water. We had a wonderful day, highly recommend
Response from the operator: molte grazie
via Viator
Worth seeing these little towns.
It was an amazing tour and Antonino was our driver. I would highly recommend him. We hired him for a few more days. We loved the little towns. Erice was wonderful but we went to a paninis shop to get a “quick “ bite. I wish I could remember the name so I could tell you not to go! It took 30 minutes waiting for terrible panini and the woman was so rude!
Response from the operator: grazie mille

Segestra, a glimpse in history.
The amphitheatre and Greek temple ruins were a walk in history. However the climb was difficult for the older people.
Response from the operator: mille grazie

Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $308 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 Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings?
+
Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Segesta, Erice and Marsala Wine Tastings 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.
