What you'll see and do
Parco Archeologico
Halfway between the current Palermo and Trapani stands one of the oldest cities you can visit in Sicily. The first monument to visit is the Doric temple, one of the best preserved Greek temples in the western world. The Doric temple of Segesta stands outside the city walls, on a hill west of the city. The ancient theater of Segesta, built on the north side of the acropolis, stands on the highest peak of Monte Barbaro, close to the gulf of Castellammare. The theater has a very wide panoramic view that transforms into a spectacular scenography if necessary. It is one of the most successful examples of theatrical architecture that can be placed in the passage and is still used, during the summer, for performances and concerts. The theater can be reached by climbing the Mount on foot or by bus (consider taking the shuttle bus if it's a hot summer day and/or if you're not used to hiking).

Borgo Storico Erice
Perched on the top of a mountain and overlooking the Gulf of Trapani, Erice is a small and characteristic medieval village, with narrow paved streets, courtyards, churches and lots of clean and fresh air, even in the height of summer. Thanks to its altitude you can enjoy a splendid 360° panoramic view. Immediately after the main arch, at the entrance to the town, is the cathedral with its tall bell tower. Starting right from the narrow streets behind the cathedral, you can start the tour in the center of the town, among suggestive corners, souvenir shops and historic pastry shops. The symbol of the town is obviously the Castello di Venere, from the Norman era, which stands right on the overhanging rock and which offers a spectacular view. Next to the castle you can admire the Pepoli Towers and the beautiful Balio municipal villa. During the summer, the cable car that connects Trapani to the top of Erice is in operation!

Riserva Naturale Saline Di Trapani E Paceco
The salt pans of Trapani are a fundamental stop in the city. In fact, it was precisely the salt trade that made this city flourish over the centuries, making it a real commercial power throughout Europe. Visiting this place you will be able to see how salt was obtained (and is still obtained today) from sea water. The museum of the salt pans of Trapani includes, in addition to the famous tanks in which salt was extracted, but also mills and period equipment that were used to complete the process for obtaining salt.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Dattilo is one of the towns of Sicilian cannoli par excellence. Eurobar has been famous for years for the Sicilian cannolo. People come here exclusively for the most famous Sicilian dessert in the world: the cannoli. The raw material of the Sicilian cannoli, obtained from sheep's milk, in this village is processed in a coarser way, more artisanal than usual. Cannoli tasting included in the cost of the tour. THE BAR IS NOT OPEN ON TUESDAY!!

The Best Day with Giuseppe
We had an absolutely fantastic day with our wonderful driver, Giuseppe. He was such a kind, friendly, and safe driver, and from the moment we set off he made us feel completely relaxed and well looked after. Throughout the day he shared so much interesting and insightful information about Sicily and Palermo, as well as stories about his family, which added a really personal and authentic touch to the experience. The stops we made were incredible — visiting the Roman Ruins, Erice and the Salt Plains were all truly amazing and gave us a real appreciation of the history and beauty of the area. Everything was so well paced, and we never felt rushed, just able to enjoy each place fully. Overall, it was the best day and one we’ll always remember. We can’t recommend Giuseppe highly enough - he genuinely made the experience unforgettable.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful day with Giuseppe—he will be very happy to know he made your experience so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Sicily soon! Alexandra

Absolute home run!
Our driver, Miimmo went above and beyond! He helped us find the birth record of my Nonno who was born in Paceco in 1916, and the town hall called a relative (I didn't know about) to come and meet us! Erice, Trapani and Segesta were just incredible, I highly recommend this tour, and ask for Mimmo.

I would definitely recommend this company!
Our driver Mimmo was excellent snd made our day very special!!we very happy with all of our stops… we especially liked Trapani and Erice…. Very quaint and historic

Great full day excursion
This was a full day excursion. Our driver Mimmo was excellent and provided a great experience. We had plenty of time at each stop to see and enjoy the sites. Unfortunately when we got into Trapani it was siesta time and it was a little quiet. The stop to try the Cannoli was good with Mimmo arranging coffee and the beautiful “huge” cannoli to eat at no cost to us. Highly recommended this day trip. We were a group of 7 and this allowed it to be private. The van was clean and comfortable. Thanks Mimmo.

No tour guide be aware
Wonderful driver, nonetheless with limited English. No tour guide, there was a note about no tour guide included when I went back to the booking, which falls back to me but the advertisement looks as though a guide is included and so our day out was looking at mountain side and not getting any info on the area..
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, We are so sorry if the experience was not as expected. Still from the first lines it is specified that it is a private tour with driver at your disposal, the driver obviously is not a guide, the driver cannot leave the means of transport unattended, he can only give some information on where to have lunch, where to buy tickets and more. In the inclusions and exclusions it is specified that it is a tour with a private driver and it is also specified that it does not include an authorized guide. In some stops there is the possibility of booking a guide based on the language you want, for example in Segesta there are authorized guides, even at the salt museum the paid visit can be done with the guide. Our advice is to read carefully what an experience includes, even before buying it.

Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo cost?
+
Prices start at $354 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 Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 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 Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo?
+
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 Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Segesta, Erice and Saline di Nubia from Palermo 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.
