3.Segesta Erice and Salt Pans Full Day Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 106 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $81Best value

Travel from Palermo by air-conditioned minivan to Segesta, medieval Erice, and the Trapani salt pans. Expect free time at each stop, historical commentary that may vary by host, and a €18.50 Segesta entrance fee. 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…”

4.Segesta Archaeological Park Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 52 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $100

Take a shared van from Palermo’s Piazza Verdi to Segesta Archaeological Park. Italian-speaking drivers such as Eusebio and Eugenio handle the one-hour journey, while you explore the temple, theater, and grounds independently before returning to Palermo.

“Perfect! The driver was on time and the small group made for a great 1-hr drive in a Mercedes air-conditioned van We had plenty of time to explore the park on our own and have a bite to eat at the cafe on site. Our driver was on time for the drive back to Palermo. A great value for the money and time”
