SICILY · SEGESTA TOURS
Good segesta tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
8-hour shared-van trip from Palermo to Segesta, Nubia, Trapani salt pans, and Erice. Greek ruins, medieval town, sea views.
“Great day trip but for me I’d happily sacrifice the time travelling to and looking at the salt pans for more time in Erice. A bit of a pointless part of a great trip.”
From Palermo to Erice, Trapani salt pans, and Segesta, see hilltop towns and a Doric temple, plus real salt-farm traditions. 8.5 hours.
“Nicolo was wonderfully enthusiastic, charming, helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining. Our driver competent and I felt safe. I think the Sugesta section was too rushed and the salt pans were not special and could easily have been dropped. We would then have had more time for the other activities.”
Palermo to Erice and Segesta in one day. Hilltop lanes, Tyrrhenian Sea views, and Segesta’s Doric temple, with easy transit.
“Way overpriced for what you get. On the post it shows that this is an English tour only.however tour guide had to speak on Spanish and Italian in addition to English Federico was good. Would have liked more time in Erice.”
Full-day trip from Palermo to Segesta, medieval Erice, and Trapani salt pans, with timed visits, air-conditioned transport, and English help.
“This is a great, very varied tour: the ride allows you to discover some beautiful costal and hilly landscapes. The sites are worth to visit. The tour is great for individual travelers, who do not want to rent a car to access remote sites. Driver ( Salvatore) and guide ( Michael) were great companions”
A stress-free half-day shuttle from Palermo to Segesta, with time to explore the Greek temple area on your own in a comfy shared van.
“The trip was excellent, our guide Eusebio, was very helpful and entertaining, and took good care of us. He drove very safely and gave us plenty of time and tips for seeing the sights. He also took time in the trip to allow us to see a monument that we had mentioned interest in, even though it was not part of the tour. Highly recommend.”
A structured day trip from Palermo to Erice, Segesta, and Trapani salt pans, with an English-speaking assistant, Wi-Fi, water, and time to wander.
“Both Segesta and Erice are very beautiful places. The walk to the salt mines is completely unnecessary. It would have been better to spend that time in other places.”
Erice, Segesta and Sicily saltpans on an 8-hour tour from Palermo, with English or Italian escort and AC transport.
“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.”
Private minivan day trip from Trapani to Segesta and Selinunte with hotel pickup, flexible site time, and a qualified driver.
“Vittorio was an excellent driver and we had a great trip. He let us choose how long to stay at each site, provided good suggestions, let us choose what kind of lunch we’d like. He was on time, personable, friendly. The car was very nice too! Recommend this trip highly!”
Full-day Segesta and Selinunte tour from Trapani by air-conditioned van, with panoramic ruins, free time for photos, and hotel pickup.
“Vincenzo is a very competent, friendly, and professional driver. My wife and I really enjoyed his company and had a good day. However we found the advertising for this activity ambiguous. The price €200 per person was crossed out and "€170 per person" was written in larger red text. However €400 was taken from our credit card. When we emailed the provider to enquire, we got this response: "Surely that price is if there are more people, obviously the rate goes down." Interesting. The words "guided tour" definitely appeared in the itinerary. Ours was not a "guided tour" of either the Segesta or Selinunte archaeological sites. It was a driver…”
