It was great with lots of cordial assistance needed and happily provided after a slide and fall down on a wet ramp earlier in the week outside the il Gesu church in Roma. Francesco searched for a nice Sunday lunch restaurant in Trapani and found one for us. Yum! Thank you. And what can be said about Segesta and the Elymians? Wow! The salt flats were a whole new world we never knew existed.We recently enjoyed a day tour from Palermo to Segesta, Erice, Trapani and salt pans. Our tour guide was Mirko. He was fabulous.

We had an excellent experience with Viator’s private, full day tour to Segesta, Erice, Trapani and the salt pans outside of the town of Trapani. We booked two days prior for this Sunday tour bc another arrangement cancelled on short notice. Viator confirmed the tour with a driver. We requested a private guide and a van and they said they would do their best to provide these. We were happy to be picked up in a large van with a competent guide. Our driver Mirko was an excellent driver, his English was perfect, he and our guide Vanda were personable, knowledgeable, generous and went above and beyond to show us every last place on the itinerary, even though it meant going past 5pm. We would book with Viator again without hesitation, and can recommend Mirko and Vanda for making our day a remarkable experience.We used this company for a private airport transfer to and from Palermo airport and also to tour various cities around Palermo.

We used this company for a private airport transfer to and from Palermo airport and also to tour various cities around Palermo. We were lucky enough to be assigned Mirko. He was an excellent driver, always willing to go the extra mile to show us sights, make sure we tasted the best cannoli ever and even dazzle us with his jokes. :) We truly had such a great time with Mirko, at the end our our trip he was like family. Book this company and ask for Mirko. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Mirko for making our trip so much fun!!
