Special cities. - The trip was excellent. Our guide, Valeria, was friendly, knowledgable and spoke English clearly. There seemed to be enough time at each site. Each site was very interesting and well worth the visit.

A wonderful day sightseeing in the NW of Sicily - We visited some truly spectacular sites and the weather was perfect to be able to see them all under beautiful blue skies. Segesta has an impressive temple to view, and an old theatre, while Erice has a castle and a view of the coastline that is marvellous to see.

Segesta and Erice - The Temple complex at Segesta was really stunning, especially the gardens overlooking the Temple from the adjacent hill. Equally impressive was the incredible view from Erice towards the bay far below.

Walk for beauty - Erice takes you to the meowing past, walking through its little streets, enjoying its views and its park, having a coffee. Smell its flowers. We have been several times and always find something different to enjoy. We love Sicily

Great experience! - I am a history buff, and enjoy cultural tourism, so was pleased to find this tour to these two very different sites here in Sicily. The tour was well-paced, with plenty of time to experience and appreciate the temple at Segesta, and the castle at Erice. I also enjoyed the stroll through Erice to the restaurant (excellent) where we had lunch. Niccola's commentary was excellent. His manner was relaxed and calm, and he was attentive to the group's needs and comfort.

Erice definitely worth seeing - We would recommend this day trip; the first two stops were wonderful to explore, Erice and the Temple.. magical views at each location,it was relatively warm on the day we went and the air conditioning on the bus was poor. The tour guide was very knowledgeable

Experienced and friendly driver - We enjoyed the guide / driver and his willingness to get us to the two main sites and provide an overview. He answered all the questions and made sure we stayed on time. Although he provided a map, we would have been great if a bigger map was provided of Erice with key points marked.

Transport not a Tour - This is not really a tour but transportation, with some logistics assistance. It should be communicated more clearly in the description. Our driver was very efficient and a pleasure, but I thought there was both a driver and a guide and would have prepared differently if I had known in advance.
It would also be helpful to have an itinerary. As written on the website it suggests Erice first then Segesta. There were a slew of buses doing the same route on the same day and it mobs both places at the same time.
Lastly, apparently the castle is closed and has been closed for a while. As a tour agency, you should know this if you are bringing visitors at least twice weekly on this route and also bring others to Erice for different tours. It would have been helpful to know this before booking since I would otherwise have just gone to Segesta on my own, and had more time there even though the transportation options are not great. particularly elegant.
