3/5 - shop around
Spent £350 for two people for this tour. Alex and his wife were nice, though the fee is only for a taxi service. As noted, attraction fees are not included (coming to €52 for two) and it’s recommended to bring basics like water for yourself as these are not included. The day was pleasant with Alex and his wife picking us up at our hotel dropping us off firstly at Segesta (2h) and then Erice (2h) with a stop at a cannoli shop (approx. 10 minutes) on the way which Alex recommended (€3,50 for 1 cannoli). When pick up came it was noted that we should hurry back as taxis waiting nearby is prohibited, which was slightly unexpected given the cost of this private tour. After Erice we were dropped back to the hotel. We reached out to Alex noting that the trip was cut short as Erice should have been 2.5h in total. Alex noted this was because of the cannoli stop, though it was not explained that this stop would lead to us losing time at the attractions and it appeared that this stop was on the way to Erice. Alex then said that our hotel was not included as part of pick up despite it appearing on the Tripadvisor selection list, and said “next time appreciate the people who work to let you try typical products, which were not part of the tour”. Despite being a significant cost for a taxi service the day was pleasant, but it is unfortunate that it ended with hostility. Unfortunately I would not recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: 1) Praticamente, mi avete scritto 20 messaggi ricordandomi che a erice era prevista mezzora in piu peró......... Lo avete scritto a fine giornata, quando vi abbiamo lasciato in hotel. 2) sapevate benissimo che i ticket per entrare nei monumenti non era incluso; era tutto scritto. 3) lo stop per farvi assaggiare i cannoli , ci ha fatto perdere almeno mezzora La mia domanda è: perche non avete stampato il voucher?????? 2) siamo stati carini proponendovi di fermarci a mangiare dei cannoli tipici molto buoni del posto e avete detto di sì e abbiamo perso circa mezz'ora per andare al bar e farvi fare le cose con calma. 3) avete messo questa recensione mediocre perchè , come mi ha detto piú volte, siete state 30 minuti in meno al castello di venere ( che è chiuso per lavori). 4) siamo stati molto educati e carini per tutto il giorno ma, evidentemente non siamo stati compresi da 2 ragazze di appena 25 anni che non hanno capito che, dovevamo comunque rispettare gli orari, perche anche noi abbiamo una famiglia . 5) LO STOP PER I CANNOLI NON ERA INCLUSO NEL TOUR.

Very charming
Very nice experience. Erice is a beautiful medieval village, unfortunately I wasn't able to see or visit much because there was thick fog even though it was May because it had rained the day before. So I recommend not going when the weather is bad due to thick fog... I haven't been to the temples of Segesta, but I tried to go to the free spas (the private ones were closed) I don't recommend them, they don't have any spas, just a small river.

Tour Erice & Segesta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Tour Erice & Segesta cost?
+
Prices start at $228 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 Tour Erice & Segesta 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 Tour Erice & Segesta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Tour Erice & Segesta?
+
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 Tour Erice & Segesta 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 Tour Erice & Segesta?
+
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 Tour Erice & Segesta 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 Tour Erice & Segesta?
+
Included: English speaking driver; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; monuments ticket; tourist guide; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tour Erice & Segesta include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 136 listed pickup locations in and around Palermo. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour Erice & Segesta?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Tour Erice & Segesta wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Tour Erice & Segesta if the weather is bad?
