Your Itinerary

Castellammare del Golfo

(Pass by)

Meet your Guide Driver at your hotel and board a luxury Mercedes Minivan for a drive (1.5h) south of Palermo through the "Sicilian Tuscany” passing the Gulf of Castellammare. Enjoy the landscape covered with Vineyards and Olive Plantations.

Parco Archeologico Selinunte

Upon arrival visit the archeological park in SELINUNTE which is among the most extensive and impressive of Europe: it includes several temples, part of the excavated ancient city and a beautiful landscape. Selinunte is also one of the most evocative places in Sicily, never having been built over in modern times. In the 5th Century BC it was second only to Syracuse. Next will be a visit of an EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) Producer including a tasting of local olive products plus a homemade light lunch (Not included). The prestigious "Nocellara del Belice" olive variety has been grown here for centuries. An unrepeatable combination of the local soil and microclimate gives origin to DOP certified table olives and extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO). Drive back to your hotel in the afternoon.

I chose this tour because I really wanted to visit an olive oil producer during my first trip to Sicily with my husband. I don’t really have that much experience booking tours and wasn’t sure what to expect, but we were very lucky to have gotten Domenico as our driver and guide. First, Domenico took us to Selinunte to visit the ruins by the sea and explained the historical significance. He anticipated that there would be a long line on a hot day and bought our tickets in advance. My favorite part of the trip was visiting Frantoio Li Pietri, where Giuseppe and his wife Rosamaria made us a beautiful lunch and told us how they produce olive oil. They were warm, gracious hosts and the experience exceeded our expectations. We are so glad that Domenico chose their frantoio to make our experience special. This tour was not your cookie-cutter tourist experience where there is no love in the experience. Everything had a special touch and felt a bit off the beaten path. Thanks, Domenico! We would recommend this tour to anyone.

Mimmo is the best! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him. My husband and I booked a last minute trip to Sicily in August. In a short time, Mimmo arranged a beautiful trip for a week all over Sicily. Mimmo has such a pleasant and friendly demeanor. He is intelligent, knowledgeable, funny and considerate He was always prompt and courteous. He gave us great recommendations of places to go, in addition to our tour. Mimmo was also a great photographer and we valued his feedback and honesty. He even took us to Some Places he thought we might enjoy. His luxury car was very clean, comfortable and he is an incredible driver. He made our trip so special and we highly recommend him as your tour guide. Thank you Mimmo!

Great tour of Sicilian countryside with excellent and very knowledgeable local tour guide, Mimmo. Enjoyed escaping the hectic atmosphere of Palermo and seeing the olive farming, the "Sicily Pompei" ruins, and the winery. Highly recommend and best way to learn and view the people and culture of Sicily.
