Full description
Discover the history of Sicily from the Greeks to the Middle Ages with this day trip to Erice, the salt pans of Trapani, and Segesta. After pickup from selected locations in Palermo, drive to western Sicily to reach Erice. The ancient Elymian people founded this medieval town, once an important religious site associated with the goddess Venus. Continue to Trapani where the ancient tradition of harvesting salt from the sea is still practiced. In the afternoon, head to Segesta, another city founded by the Elymians. Visit the 5th-century Doric temple built on a hilltop just outside the ancient city. Admire the astonishing views, before returning to Palermo.

Really enjoyed the trip. Everything was very well timed. Started at Segesta before the large crowds and before the intense heat. Wonderful Temple and amphitheatre! Visit to Erice with free time to wander the quaint hilltop village and eat some gorgeous pastries. Salt pans at Trapani- brief look and shop to buy local salt. Wished I had my binoculars to see the flamingos!

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.

Excellent day trip superb tour leader (your description said none would be on the tour so an excellent addition. Small party of 17 people in a comfortable minibus. Tour leader, Nicola gave a brilliant description of the history of Sicily in English and Italian, plus detailed info on each of the historic sights visited. Only negative was the short stay at Segesta, this was rushed as the shuttle bus to the amphitheater ran every half hour, increasing the stay would be better if 30 minutes longer. Erice and the Salt Pans stops were good.
