Our driver, Emanuele, made this trip so special. He was kind, interesting and very knowledgeable. Our trip included a stop at a fantastic bar (restaurant) as well as The Turkish Steps. A truly unforgettable experience. The Valley of the Temples is a must see and we were very happy with the audioguide. I highly recommend this tour for a spectacular outing.

Amazing views the tour guide and our driver were amazing .
The driver was extremely professional and thoughtful. Emmanuel was one of the best drivers I ever had. He took us to Corleone as well.

We decided not to take a tour and chose to take the train from Palermo to Agrigento. A very pleasant 1 1/2 hour train ride and a very short taxi ride to the Valley of the Temples site… it was wonderful. To see these ancient buildings, to be so close to them was truly inspiring. It should not be missed if you manage to visit Sciliy…

This tour is only want to sit on a bus for more than 6 hours and watch the countryside. Only 2 hours at Valley of Temples. No visit to museum which was indicated on our tour description. The little information we got was shared in 3 languages with the longest time spent on Italian. We had to buy our lunch at a rest stop and eat it while touring the temples. The additional photo stop was a waste of time and could have been better spent allowing us more time at the temples.

Salvo, our driver was knowledgeable and always kept us informed as to what was to happened going and coming. We had frequent breaks along the way for bathrooms and or snacks.
He communicated in all the different languages of those on board. He was so sweet, polite and well mannered.
The Temples were just amazing to see, this is one you don't want to miss.

The Greek ruins were great but the journey there was the best part for me. Seeing all the beautiful villages the olive trees and other beautiful orchards was the best. Also our tour guide Joshua was very accommodating and knowledgeable about Sicily.

I highly recommend this tour as an easy and economical way to get to Agrigento. Transport and a brief commentary are included. Detailed information is provided on a board at each temple. I didn’t feel at a disadvantage by not having a guide on site.

Never happened! They didn’t show up to pick me up in the hotel, no one call or send email about cancellation, nobody answer the phone provided with confirmation. Never again TripAdvisor. I would call it tripdisaster company!

The actual Valley of the Temples historic site was a wonderful experience. However, it would have been appreciated if the tour guide provided a little more information during the bus trip i.e. about the surrounding area , etc.. The bus driver , Salvatore, was an excellent driver.

The organisation of this trip was poor. Lack of details about meeting point resulted in us waiting at the bus station, the other side of Palermo. Although an email has been sent at after 10 pm the night before I did not receive this in time for the tour had to pay for a taxi to get us to the meeting point.
No information was given about the purchase of tickets ie that we should do this in advance which resulted in a 40 minute wait to buy a ticket out of a two hour visit. Neither was information given about the difficulty of the walk and the availability of a shuttle to help people who need assistance.
However the place is phenomenal, and the driver and host were very helpful and amicable.
