Overview

Allocate a day of your Sicilian escapade to break away from the island's capital on this comprehensive small group day tour from Palermo, accompanied by a knowledgeable tour escort. The schedule encompasses a visit to the medieval hilltop town of Erice, a delectable lunch, a wine and olive oil tasting at a winery or traditional farm, and a panoramic drive along Marsala’s captivating Salt Route. While Palermo, the vibrant capital of Sicily, stands as one of Italy's most exhilarating cities, you might find solace in stepping away from its vivacious rhythm after a couple of days. And what better means to achieve this than partaking in a full day small group tour from Palermo, an expedition that unveils the captivating town of Erice and presents the opportunity to marvel at the distinctive vistas of Marsala. Your journey will commence from Palermo, aboard an air-conditioned minivan, guided by an adept driver and tour leader. Brace yourself for a truly extraordinary and enchanting day.

Itinerary

  • Erice

    The amazingly sited Castello di Venere in Erice. Towering over the west of Sicily at 751m above sea level and often covered in its own personal cloud, Erice is a wonderfully preserved Mediaeval town offering the most breathtaking views and a palpable sense of history.

    4 hours

  • Marsala

    Marsala is the most populated town in its province and the fifth in Sicily. The town is famous for the docking of Giuseppe Garibaldi on 11 May 1860 (the Expedition of the Thousand) and for its Marsala wine. A feature of the area is the Stagnone Lagoon Natural Reserve – a marine area with salt ponds.

    4 hours

  • Saline of the Laguna Marsala

    The salt marshes of Marsala in Sicily are a unique spectacle. Imagine finding yourself in front of placid stretches of water framed by slight white salt dunes where, suddenly, you can see traditional mills. Keep imagining that you are witnessing this show during the sunset time. The orange-red color of the setting sun turns purple and the landscape becomes extraordinarily magical. Well this is one of the experiences you can have by going to the Marsala Salt Pans during an itinerary in Sicily.

A perfect day in Sicily!

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was one of the highlights of my one month travel around Europe. You get to experience so much in this daylong tour, and it never felt rushed. Part of what made the day so great was our amazing guide Renato. He had a warm, easygoing personality and had so much knowledge to share. It was the perfect balance between relaxing and educational.

Not to be missed.

Make time to include in your plans. Best tour on our trip. Guide was great, comfortable transport and excellent lunch.

A great tour with a super guide!

Published on Sep, 2024

A really enjoyable tour with a fantastic guide in Renato who always checked in that we were okay, answered our Qs and made it lots of fun. Erice was wonderful to see and the winery in Marsala was really informative with a super host + the food and wine was delicious.

All Day Adventure!!

Published on Sep, 2024

Loved everything about this trip!! Renato and his team were very professional, informative and funny while taking us through our adventure. Each location was beautiful, opportunities for pictures and wrapped it with a delicious lunch full of wine and pastas at the vineyard! Would definitely recommend to escape the city side of Palermo and check out the beautiful country sites of Sicily!
