Must visit

lori_P, Sep 2024

Segesta and Erice were beautiful sites to visit. There’s sufficient time allowed to enjoy the beauty of each site. I was fortunate to have a great driver too! Thanks for the concert Dario!

Absolutely perfect from start to finish with our driver, Dario Sileci

The highlight of the trip was Erice. One of the most gorgeous towns I have ever seen in Italy. Our driver Dario was charming, funny, extremely knowledgeable and very cautious and careful along our drive. I would choose him again when coming back to Sicily. Thank you Dario

Unforgettable experience.

The driver (Giovanni) was very likeable and provided us with helpful tips. His professionalism has to be underscored. The car was comfortable. The time spent at Segesta and Erice was enough. One more hour (at least) for Selinunte would have been quite appreciated as the site is vast and enchanting! The excursion is good for having an overview of the Eastern part of Sicily.

Not a TOUR! Very misleading title

Frank_P, Oct 2019

This is not a private tour. It is a driver. Our driver spent almost all of this time on the phone talking texting. Even though he was from area he did not point out any areas of interest on a long car drive. When we got to Selinunte we did not know what to expect in terms of time. The driver did not go to the closer parking lot to pick us up. We ended up spending more time there than expected since we did not know and then we had to skip Segesta to leave time for Erice. We would have been much better off doing a group tour. Putting the word TOUR in the description for the name is really false and it is in no way worth the price we paid.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Dear Madame, we really apologize for what you report us. However we did a quick internal investigation in order to identify your booking and the driver who worked for you. So we have realized according what here follows: 1. he informed you that the visit duration of Selinuntte site was planned for 1 hour about, he waited outside just close the facing Bar, so you back after more than 1 hour and so he met you soon; 2. You decided to dedicate the rest of the time to Erice visit and skiping Segesta why you said him you were so tired. 3. In the content description of the day tour is well highlighted that our driver speaks a basic english (like the driver who worked for you), which you have a given time for each visit as explained you by our driver and last but not least the tour is NOT english guided, if you wished a local tour guide you should have pay the extra tour guide fee. We apologize again if you had been unsatisfied, even if you can read that most of our reviews are very positive, I think may be there have been a misunderstanding about the real kind of day tour you booked. Best Regards Lorenzo

Tour is the wrong word

Paul_W, Sep 2019

Selinunte and Segesta were fantastic sites . The driver was pleasant but seemed to have been placed into the ‘tour’ with no notice. He was twenty minutes late and didn’t tell us where we were going in the first instance. We relied on our maps to find out. Although we booked an English speaking driver he only spoke a few words of English so could not properly have a conversation. He missed the Segesta turning which resulted in a longer journey. We gave Erice a miss as didn’t want an even longer day.

Enjoyable Excursion With Great Driver

Robert_A, Jul 2019

There were 8 of us, including 3 children. We enjoyed the trip and the areas we visited. Our driver was very pleasant, a good driver, and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend the trip. We would have liked more time in arrive, but no fault of our driver.

TOUR-NOT AS DESCRIBED

Thomas_D, Jul 2019

Description said Private Segesta, Erice & Selinunte 7 hour tour. We booked it for our family of 9 and asked for the extra tour guide for 280 Euros. The night before we were notified we could not have a vehicle to fit our 9 and the English guide. Upon arrival, we discovered there were only 8 seats available. So we had a family of 9 trying to fit into a vehicle with only 8 seats available (plus the driver) We squished in Then we found that the tour as described, was not possible. We were in the port on a Sunday, where there was not as much traffic, But the driver said even so there was not time in the 7 hour tour to get to all three places We could chose Segesta and Erice or go to Selinunte. We googled it and found he was correct. Since we have never been to this port, we had chosen to pay for the extra charge of 280 Euros to hear about these wonderful places we were planning to visit. This was a port we were so looking forward to and the last minute change was so disappointing. We were left with the option of accepting this smaller vehicle with not enough seats and no guide or not seeing anything at all. There wasn't time to find a tour for the 9 of us on such short notice. I did call Viator and speak with someone who looked for another vehicle for us. She couldn't find one. Let me be clear, the driver was very nice and this was beyond his control. He did the best he could But Viator has not researched this tour well. There is no way to see what was promised I am requesting a refund of my purchase price and also advise Viator to change the description of this tour to something that is actually feasible to see in 7 hours

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Dear Sirs, we had explained everything a lot of times and in advance. You were perfectly aware of all points you could cancel this tour when you wanted but you didn't. We are disappointed having met people like you. Thanks Lorenzo
