Beskrivelse
Oplev en uforglemmelig dag med at opdage de arkæologiske og landskabsmæssige skatte i det vestlige Sicilien. Turen begynder med den legendariske Segesta, hvor du kan beundre det majestætiske doriske tempel, et af de bedst bevarede i verden, omgivet af et tidløst landskab.

Rejseplan
Halvvejs mellem det nuværende Palermo og Trapani står en af de ældste byer, du kan besøge på Sicilien. Det første monument, der besøges, er det Doriske tempel, et af de bedst bevarede græske templer i den vestlige verden. Det Doriske tempel i Segesta står uden for bymurene, på en bakke vest for byen. Wolfgang von Goethe beskrev i sin rejse til Italien templet med disse ord: "Templets placering er overraskende: på toppen af en bred og lang dal, på toppen af en isoleret bakke og alligevel omgivet af klipper, dominerer det en stort udsigt til lande. "
Det gamle Segesta-teater, bygget på nordsiden af Akropolis, ligger på Monte Barbaros højeste top tæt på Castellammare-bugten. Teateret har en meget bred panoramaudsigt, der om nødvendigt forvandles til en spektakulær ramme. Det er et af de mest succesrige eksempler på teaterarkitektur, der kan placeres i passagen og stadig bruges i løbet af sommeren til forestillinger og koncerter. For at nå det skal du følge nogle stier midt i markerne eller en bred brolagt vej. Men hvis du ikke har lyst til at tackle denne lange vandretur, især om sommeren eller om aftenen, kan du bruge den praktiske pendulbus, der kører fra billetkontoret og fører dig til teaterns indgang.
Beliggende på toppen af et bjerg og med udsigt over Trapani-bugten er Erice en lille og karakteristisk middelalderlandsby med smalle og brostensbelagte gader, gårdhaver, kirker og masser af ren og frisk luft, selv i højsommeren. Takket være dens højde kan du nyde en fantastisk 360 ° panoramaudsigt. Startende lige fra gaderne bag katedralen kan du starte din tur i centrum af byen, blandt suggestive hjørner, souvenirbutikker og historiske konditorier. I via Vittorio Emanuele, 14 ligger Maria Grammaticos historiske konditori, her kan du beundre og smage typiske Erice-slik. Byens symbol er naturligvis Venus-slottet fra den normanniske æra, som står lige på den overhængende klippe og byder på en spektakulær udsigt. Ved siden af slottet kan du beundre Pepoli-tårnene og den smukke Balio kommunale villa. Om sommeren er svævebanen, der forbinder Trapani med toppen af Erice, i drift!
Saline di Marsala ligger i Stagnone Reserve og er en af de mest besøgte turistattraktioner i provinsen Trapani. Et unikt territorium foran øen Mothia langs den berømte "via del sale", porten til Stagnone Islands Nature Reserve. Naturreservatet Stagnone og øen Mozia er et sted med ekstraordinær skønhed, hvor du sammen med de ekstraordinære naturalistiske landskaber kan værdsætte de vindmøller, der er typiske for Trapani-kysten, et originalt eksempel på industriel arkæologi, der stadig er perfekt funktionel i dag. Saline della Laguna er placeret lige inde i reservatet. Lagunen, den største på Sicilien (2000 ha), er kendetegnet ved meget salt, lavt vand.
Øen Mozia hører til øgruppen Stagnone di Marsala og er en af de mest populære turistruter for besøgende. Motya er en sand udendørs skat med dens talrige arkæologiske fund, hvoraf nogle er nedsænket af havet på grund af stigende tidevand: dens arkæologiske værdi betragtes stadig som uvurderlig. Faktisk er Mozia vært for et af de vigtigste museer i Trapani-provinsen. Den unge mand fra Mozia er det mest prestigefyldte og repræsentative fund på øen: Det er en marmorstatue. Mozia er en gammel fønikisk koloni grundlagt i det ottende århundrede. B.C. på en af de fire øer i Stagnone-lagunen. Navnet Motya, sandsynligvis givet af fønikerne selv, ville betyde spinderi og ville være forbundet med tilstedeværelsen af fabrikker til forarbejdning af uld, etableret her. Øen var ligesom de fleste af de andre fønikiske kolonier en handelsstation og skulle fungere som anløbssted for fønikiske skibe på vej til Middelhavet. Med den græske kolonisering, som begynder i det 8. århundrede, øger Motya sin betydning ved at blive en lille by. I det sjette århundrede. kontrasterne mellem grækere og karthager skærpes på grund af dominansen over Sicilien og Mozia er involveret; du kommer til at omgive det med mure, der tillader et bedre forsvar. I 397 belejrede Dionysius den Ældre, tyran af Syracusa, byen og satte en stopper for dens eksistens. Indbyggerne tager tilflugt på fastlandet i kolonien Lilibeo, det nuværende Marsala. Genopdagelsen af Motya er knyttet til navnet på Giuseppe Whitaker, en engelsk adelsmand fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede, hvis familie havde slået sig ned på Sicilien og havde startet en blomstrende eksporthandel med Marsala-vin. På øen står Whitakers hjem, nu omdannet til et museum. TIMER OG PRISER MOZIA: 1. NOVEMBER - 31. MARTS alle dage fra 9.00 til 15.00 1. APRIL - 31.

Shared location with the driver multiple times; however, he never picked us up. Contacted the operator and they only provided us with a partial refund. I would not encourage anyone to book this tour.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. However, we believe it is important to clarify the circumstances. The tour you booked clearly states, both in the title and in the pickup information, that it starts from the Port of Palermo. The booking confirmation also specifies that pickup is available only in Palermo. On the day of the tour, our driver arrived at the agreed meeting point at the Port of Palermo and waited as scheduled. Only after being unable to locate you did we discover, through the live location you shared, that you were actually at the Port of Messina, approximately 240 km (150 miles) away from Palermo. Unfortunately, it is not possible to operate this tour from Messina, as the distance and travel time would make the itinerary unfeasible. Although the booking error was not caused by our company, we still chose to offer a 50% refund as a gesture of goodwill and customer care. We always strive to provide excellent service and encourage future guests to carefully check the departure location shown in the tour title and pickup details before booking. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
A preserved site that bears witness to the multiple cultural layers that have shaped Sicily. A pleasant surprise this Sunday in May, free admission. Only the bus (crowded) to reach the heights to visit the theater was paid. Large and sufficient parking despite the crowd. I recommend a hat, the bus, and a bottle of water. A nice introduction to the beginning of our journey...
Our driver, Guiseppe, was on time, pleasant, enthusiastic, considerate and informative. A good trip for those with limited time, but who want to "see it all". Communication with the tour operator and Guiseppe was excellent.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience and that Giuseppe made your day so enjoyable. He will be very happy to know that you appreciated his punctuality, enthusiasm and the information he shared during the trip. We’re also pleased that the itinerary worked well for your limited time and allowed you to “see it all” comfortably. Providing smooth communication and reliable service is very important to us, so your feedback truly means a lot. We hope to welcome you again in Sicily soon! 🌞
Our tour guide/driver Fabrizio was excellent and a wealth of knowledge. The Renault van was very comfortable but we were not offered WiFi access as advertised. Unfortunately, the tour itself was less than advertised and quite pricey. Being off season, there were very few shops or restaurants open in Erice where we had intended to enjoy lunch. The salt pans museum was not open and the boat ride to Mozia was not possible. Marsala was not available to us either. The temple of Segesta was what we expected but we were charged an additional 27 USD to tour the site with audio assist. If traveling off season, confirm what is actually available before booking.
Dear Customer, thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of your guide/driver Fabrizio, as well as the comfort of the vehicle. We apologize if the Wi-Fi was not offered as advertised; we will look into what happened to ensure it does not occur again. We are truly sorry that some services and visits were not available on the day of your tour. During the low season, unfortunately, several sites and activities reduce their hours or remain closed without prior notice. For example, the official website of the salt pans indicates opening hours from Monday to Sunday, 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, while Google shows updated hours with only a short lunch break. However, in reality, during autumn and winter they do not open every day and the posted schedules are not always respected. Additionally, in this period Mozia can only be visited during the first part of the day, and we understand how this may have affected your experience. Regarding the Temple of Segesta, the cost of the entrance tickets and audio guides is managed directly by the Archaeological Park and for this reason is not included in the tour. We appreciate your suggestion: checking seasonal openings before booking is always useful, and our team is fully available to assist customers with this. We hope to welcome you again during a more favorable period, so that we can offer you the complete experience you deserve. Kind regards, Alexandra
Our private tour of Segesta, Erice, the Stagnone Salt Pans, and Marsala with Mimmo was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, he was kind, thoughtful, and completely accommodating to our needs. He shared great facts and stories about each location, bringing the history and beauty of Sicily to life. We never felt rushed — Mimmo always made sure we had time to enjoy each stop, take photos, and soak it all in. He even went out of his way to offer restaurant recommendations and local tips, which made the experience feel personal and special. The car was immaculate and incredibly comfortable, and the timing of every activity was perfect, allowing us to see so much without ever feeling tired. If you want a relaxing, informative, and beautifully curated Sicilian adventure, book this tour and ask for Mimmo — you won’t regret it!

The driver , Mimo, was great and the car was a late model and very clean . Punctual pick up, cold water on demand and well laid out itinerary so that the walking parts were downhill with the car dropping us off near the top and then waiting at the bottom.

Your satisfaction is our greatest reward, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Sicily! Warm regards, Alexandra Panormus Autoservizi

This tour from Palermo was an incredible way to experience Sicily. Our driver Mimmo made this an even more elevated day. His incredible knowledge of the areas we were going to visit made for a truly immersive experience. The history you get to experience on this tour was awesome and we made incredible memories. As busy as some of these areas get it was well worth it to have door to door service with this tour.

It was an amazing adventure of the northwest portions of Sicily leaving from Palermo. Our guide Fabrizio was amazing. He was like hanging out with a friend that you met to travel with that knew everything about the local area. We felt very well taken care of and had plenty of time to explore each of the destinations that we stopped at plus a little added extra. It was great to learn about the local history from him.
Thank you, Laura, for sharing your experience with us. We’re thrilled to hear that you loved our tour and that it met your expectations. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon. Alexandra
Fabrizio was a fantastic guide! He is incredibly knowledgeable of all the sights we visited Segesta, Erice, Trapani, Salt pans, etc. He is very interesting talking about the history of Sicily. Mainly he is an exceptionally nice person we enjoyed spending the day with! Request him if you want an unforgettable experience!
