Itinerario
A medio camino entre el actual Palermo y Trapani se encuentra una de las ciudades más antiguas que puedes visitar en Sicilia. El primer monumento a visitar es el templo dórico, uno de los templos griegos mejor conservados del mundo occidental. El templo dórico de Segesta se encuentra fuera de las murallas de la ciudad, en una colina al oeste de la ciudad. Wolfgang von Goethe, en su Viaje a Italia, describió el templo con estas palabras: "La posición del templo es sorprendente: en la cima de un valle ancho y largo, en la cima de una colina aislada y aún rodeado de acantilados, domina un gran perspectiva de tierras ".
El antiguo teatro de Segesta, construido en el lado norte de la acrópolis, se encuentra en el pico más alto de Monte Barbaro, cerca del Golfo de Castellammare. El teatro tiene una vista panorámica muy amplia que se convierte en un escenario espectacular si es necesario. Es uno de los ejemplos más exitosos de arquitectura teatral que se puede colocar en el pasaje y todavía se usa, durante el verano, para actuaciones y conciertos. Para llegar a él, debe seguir algunos caminos en el medio de los campos o un camino pavimentado ancho. Pero si no tiene ganas de abordar esta larga caminata, especialmente en verano o por la noche, puede utilizar el conveniente servicio de autobús que sale de la taquilla y lo lleva a la entrada del teatro.
Encaramado en la cima de una montaña y con vistas al Golfo de Trapani, Erice es un pequeño y característico pueblo medieval, con calles estrechas y pavimentadas, patios, iglesias y mucho aire limpio y fresco, incluso en pleno verano. Gracias a su altitud se puede disfrutar de una espléndida vista panorámica de 360 °. Comenzando desde las calles detrás de la catedral, puede iniciar el recorrido en el centro de la ciudad, entre sugerentes rincones, tiendas de souvenirs y pastelerías históricas. En via Vittorio Emanuele, 14 se encuentra la histórica pastelería de Maria Grammatico, aquí se puede admirar y degustar los dulces típicos de Erice. El símbolo de la ciudad es, obviamente, el Castello di Venere, de la época normanda, que se encuentra justo en la roca que sobresale y ofrece una vista espectacular. Junto al castillo se pueden admirar las Torres Pepoli y la hermosa villa municipal de Balio. ¡Durante el verano, el teleférico que conecta Trapani con la cima del Erice está en funcionamiento!
Los Saline di Marsala se encuentran en la Reserva Stagnone y son una de las atracciones turísticas más visitadas de la provincia de Trapani. Un territorio único frente a la isla de Mothia, a lo largo de la famosa "via del sale", la puerta de entrada a la Reserva Natural de las Islas Stagnone. La Reserva Natural de Stagnone y la isla de Mozia es un lugar de extraordinaria belleza, donde junto a los excepcionales paisajes naturalistas se pueden apreciar los molinos de viento típicos de la costa de Trapani, un ejemplo original de arqueología industrial que sigue siendo perfectamente funcional hoy en día. Los Saline della Laguna se encuentran justo dentro de la Reserva. La laguna, la más grande de Sicilia (2000 ha) se caracteriza por aguas poco profundas muy saladas.
La isla de Mozia pertenece al archipiélago Stagnone de Marsala y representa uno de los itinerarios turísticos más apreciados por los visitantes. Mozia es un verdadero tesoro al aire libre, con sus numerosos hallazgos arqueológicos, algunos de los cuales sumergidos por el mar debido a las mareas crecientes: su valor arqueológico todavía se considera invaluable. De hecho, Mozia alberga uno de los museos más importantes de la provincia de Trapani. El joven de Mozia es el hallazgo más prestigioso y representativo de la isla: es una estatua de mármol. Mozia es una antigua colonia fenicia fundada en el siglo VIII. ANTES DE CRISTO. en una de las cuatro islas de la laguna de Stagnone. El nombre de Motya, probablemente dado por los propios fenicios, significaría hilandería y estaría relacionado con la presencia de fábricas para el procesamiento de la lana, plantadas aquí. La isla, como la mayoría de las otras colonias fenicias, era una estación comercial y debía servir como punto de atraque para los barcos fenicios en ruta hacia el Mediterráneo. Con la colonización griega, que comienza en el siglo VIII, Motya aumenta su importancia al convertirse en una ciudad. En el siglo sexto los contrastes entre griegos y cartagineses se intensifican debido al dominio sobre Sicilia y Mozia está involucrado; puedes rodearlo con paredes que permiten una mejor defensa. En 397, Dionisio el Viejo, tirano de Siracusa, asedió la ciudad y puso fin a su existencia. Los habitantes se refugian en tierra firme en la colonia de Lilybaeum, hoy Marsala. El redescubrimiento de Motya está relacionado con el nombre de Giuseppe Whitaker, un noble inglés de finales del siglo XIX cuya familia se había establecido en Sicilia y había comenzado un próspero comercio de exportación de vino Marsala. En la isla se encuentra la casa de los Whitakers, ahora transformada en un museo.

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.

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!
