Segesta Erice and Salt Pans
Jeanine_S
, Jul 2022
A very pleasant excursion and I enjoyed the sites very much. Please note - this is more of a convenient shuttle experience, from your hotel to each site and back, and not a fully guided tour. Joshua gave lots of good info as he drove, but the site visits were on our own and he directed us to optional tour of the Salt Pans (very interesting). Those of us willing to pay for the tour and site visits in Erice enjoyed our visits more than those who did not. And they were inexpensive “extras”. The amount of time in Segesta was perfect, but after the Salt Oan Tour it would have been nice to have 15 more minutes to walk out to the Salt Pans. And the Erice visit was too short to really explore (needed some of the time for lunch). A mini van was used and every seat filled. Comfortable for smaller or medium sized adults - but the larger adults did complain of being uncomfortable in the small space.
A wonderful day!!

Michael was pleasant enough however the choice of transport we felt was unsuitable
The so called Minivan was in our minds a SUV and not a genuine tour vehicle.
As there were 8 + the driver we were crammed in like sardines resulting in an uncomfortable experience for all and in particular the people in the back seats.
The content of the tour was good with the exception of the salt plains particularly at this time of year as there was no wild life making the stop some what boring.
The small town of Erica was lovely and worth the journey.
What not to do.

Very disappointed with the tour company...we did not have a tour guide to explain the sights we saw either at the locations or along the way. The person who came as a tour leader was not very well organised or helpful.....we were left to our own to discover the attractions.The bus driver and the tour leader spent most of the trip talking quite loudly with each other and seemed oblivious to the fact we were also on the bus. We were then dumped at some point in town and told us make our own way back to our accommodation without us knowing where in town we were.while on the bus we were given no information on the attractions or what we would expect. We also had to chase the tour company for reconfirmation of our booking and pick up time late the afternoon before.
Amazing day trip

Excellent tour from Palermo to see the Segesta ruins and Erice. Wish the Erice stay was longer, although there was enough time to have a sit-down lunch and walk through and shop. If you ask me, the salt pan trip was unnecessary----just have a good visit to Segesta in the morning, and a longer stay in Erice, since there's more to see, do, and eat there. Nevertheless, a great value for money as a day trip from Palermo.

The visit to Segesta was great and the temple and ruins were well worth seeing. On the other hand, where were the Salt Pans. If it is not the right season, don't offer the tour and then disappoint the paying clients. Erice was interesting, but having visited my share of medieval villages, this was only average.

The Salt Pans aren't really worth the effort to see but Segesta and Erice were fantastic. Michael was our driver/guide and he was very professional and knowledgeable. It was a small group and we quickly became friends. It's a nice way to spend the day outside the madness that can be Palermo.

Driver on time to pick us up. Very pleasant and helpful. Good driver. Van comfortable. Small group.
Surprised that we had to pay for our own entrances and that there was no guide. We paid about 50 each which was expensive. In other countries we have had guides with us as well as a driver!
Reluctant to purchase another trip because of lack of a guide.

I enjoyed this trip mid October 2017 very much. We were a small group in a van rather than a large group in a bus. This made the trip much more enjoyable. Michael, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He explained everything we needed to know about Segesta, the salt pans at Trapani ,and Erice in order to thoroughly enjoy the experience. His command of Italian, Spanish, and English is excellent. He also ensured that we could take some great photos by briefly stopping. I highly recommend this trip....especially with Michael.

Michael was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us tips before leaving us off in the various towns. We especially enjoyed Erice and its arancini. Try the one just after the gate on the left, unfortunately, they were out of Nutella ones but the ragù and also the spinach and mozzarella were very tasty!

This is essentially a self-guided tour. You are provided with transportation and a brief explanation of what you should do and see. The driver was excellent - very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. If you have already been to Agrigento, you really don't need to see Segesta, unless you are an avid follower of Greek ruins. The salt plans of Trapani are absolutely amazing. I have never seen anything like it before - looks like snow. Erice is a quaint, amazing little town. The views mountains and the sea are stunning - some of the best vistas I have ever viewed. Overall, it was a very enjoyable day.

When we arrived at Segesta after a two hour ride, our guide never showed up. We did the tour on our own as a group, it would have been much better with a guide. Most of us eased dropped on other groups which had a guide. also pick up was some what disorganized. The trip to Erice was better. A lovely medival town and our guide was very good in details.We never got to the Salt Pans.
