10 tours · €99–€350 per person · ★ 4.8
For day trips from Palermo, we read every listing and kept 10 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. The spread runs from €99 per person for a private city drive to €350 per vehicle for a private excursion with a local guide. Private drives to Cefalù or Agrigento cover the return journey and hotel pickup, so you can visit without arranging your own transport.
A quick way to choose: don't expect a combined Monreale and Cefalu tour, as these listings visit them on separate routes. For Agrigento from Palermo, the private Valley of the Temples trip requires an upgrade if you want a guide, and temple entry is extra. The Cefalù and Castelbuono drive includes a driver but does not include a licensed guide or castle entry. The best reviewed day trips from Palermo come first below.
