It was a very standard tour - with pertinent information but nothing out of the ordinary or personalized that really stuck out. I think we would have rather done our own audio guide at our own pace and saved some money.

Wir haben uns kurzfristig für eine Führung durch den Valle dei Templi entschieden. Es war eine sehr gute Erfahrung. Zwei Stunden reichen vollkommen und die Reiseführerin, Liss, hat eine sehr charmante Art die Geschichten zu erzählen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Visita piacevolissima ed interessante In un luogo già di per sé magico, ricco di storia e di miti, svoltasi con un gruppo eterogeneo di sconosciuti, presto amalgamatosi, grazie alla magistrale competenza della guida: il professor Calogero Montana.. Il buon Calogero è riuscito a rendere il percorso di oltre 3 km, una passeggiata tra “amici”, condita di arte, storia, aneddoti e mitologia con competenza, simpatia e professionalità, senza lungaggini e pedanteria! Grazie Calogero, l’amore per la tua terra e per le tue origini è stato quel valore aggiunto che ha reso il nostro tour indimenticabile, in quanto sei riuscito non solo a trasmetterci il tuo sapere, ma a dar vita e voce a quei sassi inanimati, nell’apparenza uguali a tanti altri! Vi consiglio caldamente di contattarlo, qualora decidiate di visitare la Valle dei templi di Agrigento.

Assolutamente consiglio la visita guidata alle catacombe, sotto i templi con like guide archeologhe. Ho avuto la fortuna di essere accompagnato dalla entusiasta e empatia Paola C. una vera rivelazione, appassionata e capace di trasmettere nozioni importanti e simpatiche sulla vita bella valle dei templi. Sono un insegnante e reputo la suddetta, per entusiasmo anche meglio di me. Consiglio questa visita insolita e curiosa per approfondire la conoscenza del luogo!

Escursione meravigliosa e comoda. Appuntamento con la nostra accompagnatrice alle ore 09:30. Prima tappa alla spiaggia selvaggia di Porto Palo. Mare splendido caraibico. Seconda tappa Marzamemi , bella spiaggia attrezzata, mare limpido, leggera brezza e poi visita al piccolo borgo antico un vero e proprio gioiello. Purtroppo siamo dovuti rientrare subito a Siracusa senza visitare la splendida Noto per un imprevisto personale. Giuliana, la nostra accompagnatrice, è stata bravissima nel raccontarci il territorio , perfetta alla guida, gentile e disponibile per ogni nostra esigenza. Davvero una guida eccezionale!
