Itinerary

  • Tempio Di Segesta

    The temple, sometimes called the "Great Temple", was built during the last thirty years of the fifth century BC, [1] on the top of a hill west of the city, outside its walls. It is a large hexastyle peripteral temple (ie with six columns on the shorter side, not grooved). On the long side it has instead fourteen columns (in total 36 then, 10 meters high). The current state of preservation presents the entire colonnade of the complete peristasis of the entire entablature. Despite the constructive elements and the proportions of the construction clearly referring to the classical period of Greek architecture, the temple presents peculiar aspects on which historiography does not express unanimous opinions.

  • Castello di Venere

    Erice Walking tour of the beautiful medieval town located on the top of the homonymous mountain at 760 meters high, we will visit the temple dedicated to Venus, the castle, the towers and the beautiful cathedral. The town, surrounded by cyclopean walls, is characterized by stone paths and adorned with trees, plants and flowers, which give the center a magical and enchanted atmosphere.

You can also taste the typical almond sweets famous all over the world.

  • Museo del Sale

    Of Phoenician origin, the Arab geographer al-Idrīsī documents the presence of salt pans already in the period of Norman domination in Sicily. Under the reign of Frederick of Swabia, the state monopoly on salt production was established, which continued even during the Angevin domination. The Aragonese later ratified the return to private property, but it was under the Spanish crown that the salt production activity reached its peak, transforming the port of Trapani into the most important European trade center for the precious element. The salt pans from Trapani reached the islands of the Stagnone. In the photo above the Salt Museum of Nubia, in the photo below the Infersa mill. From 1861 with the Unification of Italy these salt pans were not nationalized, and they were the only ones to overcome the monopoly of the salt by the State, exporting it to different countries. After the First World War with the competition of the industrialized salt pans of Cagliari began the decline of the Trapani salt pans, accentuated by the outbreak of the Second World War and by foreign competition with rock salt. Many of the salt pans were abandoned or abandoned.

Great day to Segesta, Erice, and Trapani!

Published on Dec, 2024

Umberto was a wonderful and knowledgable guide. He also took us to a couple of pastry shops during the day to sample the best cannoli and Genovesi cake.

Enjoyable Day Sightseeing

Published on Jun, 2024

We spent the day with Umberto touring three very different and unique places: Segesto, Erice and Trapini. It’s hard to pick a favorite of the three, but if I had to I would say Erice. This city is very beautiful sitting on top of a mountain. The churches, buildings and castles were non like I had ever seen before. Umberto was very friendly and provided a lot of good information about the places we visited as well as Sicily.

Thank you, Umberto!

My wife and I had a fantastic day with Umberto, touring Segesta, Erice, and Trapani. He was informative, friendly, and flexible, allowing us to tailor our experience as we wished while offering helpful suggestions. But he was also very helpful, especially when we needed to swing by the airport to retrieve our lost luggage from the airline. Amazing! We can’t recommend Umberto high enough - he was FANTASTIC ❗️

Umberto is great.

Umberto was great. He had a ton of info and knew his way around. The content of the tour was also fabulous. I really enjoyed the day. And Sicily is beautiful.

Wonderful Day in Sicily

Published on Apr, 2024

There were eight of us wanting to visit Erice and Trapani from Palermo so we reserved a day with Umberto. It was a great decision on our part. We had an absolutely wonderful experience and learned a tremendous amount about Sicily and the towns and villages we visited. Umberto was an excellent driver and guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. He even introduced us to Maria Grammatico at the bakery where we were able to indulge in a variety of delicious sweets including her famous genovese cookies. From there we went to Trapani for lunch and then the salt flats before returning to Palermo. I highly recommend Umberto and his tour services.
