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.

    Really cool to see the castle town of Erice, Salt pans, and winery in Marsala. The winery was certainly the highlight. Very welcoming service. Only thing was it is a lot of travel. We traveled more than our tour which, if expected, is completely worth the experience!

  • Highly Recommend!

    Our guide Gigi was amazing, she was personable and knowledgeable! Along the drive she gave so much information about the history and culture of the area. She was dedicated to making this excursion a memorable one. Our driver was very safe and actually followed the driving laws unlike all of the other tours I went on wirh other companies. I felt safe which made this a relaxing and enjoyable trip.

    Our tour of Erice and Marsala was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and our guide Luca and driver Renato made the day truly special. Erice felt like stepping back in time — the medieval streets, breathtaking views, and delicious pastries were a dream. Marsala was equally impressive, especially our lunch at a beautiful winery and visiting the beautiful salt flats. What I loved most was how much passion and knowledge our guide shared about Sicilian history, culture, and traditions. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it felt like being welcomed into the heart of Sicily. I left with amazing memories, stunning photos, and a real appreciation for this incredible region. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting western Sicily — it’s a perfect mix of history, scenery, and authentic local experiences! 🌅🍷 Grazie Mille Aggie

    Lunch was with only the first dish. But the entrance paid off. The guide was poorly informed about the history and left nothing to be desired. The driver was friendly and competent.

  • Fantastic Tour! Highly Recommended!
