Guides such as Sergio, Michaele, Salvatore, and Emanuele have been praised for helpful service.

“This was a great way to see the sights but if you're expecting a guide you'll be disappointed. It is basically transport you're paying for. You don't get any information so do your research before you go. Once at Segesta make sure you go to the amphitheatre first as this will be better use of your limited time. There is a shuttle bus to take you to the top which you'll need to pay for along with your entrance fee. The shuttle bus goes on the hour and half hour. You can walk but it's steep and will take about 25 mins. Bus takes about 5 mins. It's well worth…”

The temple at Segesta was impressive, more complete than the Parthenon in Athens.
