Overview of your Palermo tour

Selinunte is arguably one of the most evocative and impressive Greek sites in Sicily, having remained undisturbed by modern development. In the 5th Century BC, it was second only to Syracuse in significance. The archeological site encompasses numerous temples, remnants of the excavated ancient city, and remarkable ruins dating back over 2,700 years, complemented by a picturesque landscape. Segesta, according to traditional legend, possesses a Trojan origin. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view. The well-preserved temple and Greek theater were constructed in the late 5th Century BC. ● Hotel pickup from Palermo ● Personalized attention on a private tour of your guide ● Forget the rush of large tour groups and explore at a pace that suits you ● Enjoy privacy of a private vehicle: travel in a premium Mercedes ● Learn more about the history of the sites than you would while traveling on your own Embark on an exploration of Sicily’s lesser-known regions

Mimmo is a great guide for western Sicily. He took us on a full-day private tour in November 2025. We visited Selinunte and Segesta and had lunch at a nice local restaurant that he suggested. He is a licensed guide so he accompanied us into the sites. He provided background and commentary that made our visits more meaningful. He is definitely knowledgeable about the history and the local areas. I recommend him as a guide.

A great day out exploring the Tripani region. Our tour guide Mimmo was excellent and so knowledgeable about the local area. The scenic tour was stunning and the Pellegrino winery in Marsala which Mimmo took us to was fascinating. The best part of the day was Erice with its tiny cobbled streets and its air of medieval mystery. I particularly loved the 40 year old sweet shop. A huge thank you goes to Mimmo for making our day so interesting and also giving us insight in to Sicilian life and culture.
