This is the shortlist we would hand a friend: the 8 full-day tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller rating, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Full-day western Sicily from Palermo to Segesta, Nubia, Trapani salt pans, and Erice, with a comfortable van and self-paced site time.
“Wonderful day trip. No tour guides for the sites but the drivers were very friendly, prompt, and professional. A recommended day out”
Marine biologist-led Palermo snorkeling on a small boat with wetsuit gear, multiple swim stops, and lunch with wine.
“A wonderful leisurely experience and unique way to enjoy Palermo! Our guides provided good information and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. It was a perfect way to step away from the bustle and noise of the city and into the beautiful waters of Sicily.”
Full-day trip from Palermo to Segesta, Erice, and Trapani salt pans. Small-group minivan with time to wander and see top sights.
“The best part was exploring Erice, a medieval hilltop town 2400feet above sea level!! Walk the whole town before choosing a restaurant, there are great ones off the beaten path!”
Private day trip from Palermo to Castelbuono and Cefalù with A/C pickup, UNESCO cathedral sights, beach time, and sweet tastings.
“An absolutely fantastic day. Umberto, our driver, was very friendly and informative. He shared interesting history and knowledge of the area and showed us the sights without being intrusive. An absolutely lovely gentleman. Castelbuono is steeped in history and local customs and you get to try some of the local produce, which tastes amazing. The castel itself is also a must see. In celafu we were left to our own devices and we spent our time having lunch at a restaurant overlooking the sea, wandering up to the cathedral and the paddling in the sea! Overall an excellent day. Would highly recommend.”
A fast-paced Palermo day trip to Mt Etna and Taormina with early pickup, comfortable transport, and major sights, plus extra ticket costs.
“Our driver Joshua was very sweet, but I found the additional Euro 65 to go up Etna a complete waste of money as the view is not much different. Additionally you must wear closed shoes. The Etna tour was uninformative and pointless. However, Toarmina was lovely and would recommend to this quaint town.”
A full day by private minivan through Monreale, Palermo’s top churches, Teatro Massimo, and Mondello beach for lunch and views.
“Le matin réception à l hôtel direction Montréal avec notre guide visite détaillée puis tour de ville repas pris à la plage de montello .Retour au centre ville ou notre chauffeur nous à fait découvrir une bonne glace briacia il nous a offert de l eau fraîche tous au long de la journée .information sur la vie dans cette belle ville.merci à Christian !”
A private day from Palermo to Cefalù and Castelbuono with easy pickup, castle visits, free time to explore, and standout driving stories.
“We spent the day with Umberto and he was wonderful. He was highly knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Loved Castlebuono and Cefalu, made all the better by Umberto.”
Private full-day west Sicily tour from Palermo: Segesta temple, medieval Erice, Trapani salt flats, plus local sweets and wine stops.
“Sights were excellent. The guide was good but not amazing. While he gave us some information about the sites he wasn’t as informative as we hoped. He also didn’t escort us at two of the four stops which we thought was a bit odd.”
