Overview of your Palermo tour

According to the traditional legend, Segesta had a Trojan origin. The well-preserved temple and Greek theater were constructed in the late 5th century BC. The high-stepped, semicircular theater opens onto a breathtaking panorama over the surrounding countryside, with the sea in the distance. Erice, situated approximately 2400 feet above sea level, maintains a cool climate even during the hottest Sicilian summer. On clear days, it offers magnificent views. While the views are a draw, the quaint cobblestone streets of Erice also contribute to its charm. Stunning Views and Amazing Locations, Greek and Medieval Heritage. Experience several panoramic sceneries that are unparalleled, combined with a visit to a unique archaeological area. The medieval settlements of Erice and Segesta rank among the top sites in Western Sicily, but bringing the rich history to life requires expert knowledge. On this private tour, reach both cities and uncover thousands of years of Italian history.

We spent a wonderful day touring with Mimmo. I highly recommend him to take you on a great "tour by locals" -- he drove a premium vehicle, was a safe driver, responsive to our questions, and very knowledgeable. He gave us a detailed picture of Western Sicily - Segesta and Erice - and its complex history. He kindly inquired where we'd like to eat and picked a spot perfect for our interests - serving cannoli in the charming town of Erice. Tour with Mimmo; you will be very happy you did!

Mimmo was absolutely fantastic! Knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be with. He went out of his way to help us figure some things out (not related to the tour) and made sure it was done to our satisfaction. Highly recommend him!
