Visit Segesta, Trapani’s salt pans, and medieval Erice on an 8-hour small-van trip from Palermo with scenic views and free time.

“Transport was good, although the coach was not particularly modern. The guide gave basic information in four languages, which is pretty good, and the allotted time at each location was adequate. Basically the tour is principally transportation between the sights, but that’s fine as they are hard to get to by any public transport.”

“Volevo mettere 5, ma ci sono degli aspetti da non sottovalutare che potrebbero davvero migliorare. Intanto non è necessario arrivare almeno mezz’ora prima, il servizio è veloce alla cassa e rischi di aspettare mezz’ora. Ottimo il traghetto e le Piscine molto belle, un’esperienza fuori dal comune. Come però fuori dal comune la parte docce. Esterne fredde, all’interno una singola doccia ricavata dentro un bagno, aspetti molto. No Phon o prodotti per lavarsi, in un resort sul benessere mi aspetterei un livello diverso dal lido di paese. La cena di ottima qualità, anche in paragone con il prezzo. Aldilà di gusti e voracità, piatti di qualità magari poco abbondanti ma sicuramente…”
