The driver was nice but on his phone a lot. Did a good job driving there and back but no additional information and we had to make a stop for him to buy fruit.

We arranged for the Agrigento trip months beforehand, but could have arranged just a few days prior, with great ease. The day before the trip, we received a notification and contact information and just as promised our driver, Marco, arrived 15 mins prior ready for us at pick-up time. Marco provided a clean, A/C cooled, comfortable van for up to 8 passengers and drove us safely from our rental home in Santa Flavia (Palermo area) to Agrigento and Scala di Turcas. Marco answered all of our questions and provided recommendations for restaurants in between the two excursions. At the Valley of the Temples, I purchased our entrance tickets on-line, but easily could have purchased them on-site with a few minute wait. Online tickets got us right in. It was hot, so having water along the way is key. Once the tour of the Valley was over (1.5-2 hours in length...that is about how long it takes to fully explore the valley), Marco picked us up promptly and drove us to lunch. At Scala di Turcas, we were pointed in the right direction and were glad to have this part of the trip added. Really an incredible sight!! Great adventure and photos. Afterwards, we met up with Marco for our journey home. To and from Palermo area, it took us 2 hours. The ride home gave us time for a much needed nap. Marco made us feel safe. After the trip, Marco provided us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations for Palermo. Well worth it!! Thanks!

Great driver (apologies, but its been a long time and I have forgotten the name), great vehicle and excellent tour. I recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to travel in comfort and not care about driving and/or parking.

My friend and I had Marco for driver. Very comfortable car and a fabulous driver. He was punctual, attentive and a very careful driver- knowledgeable about his surroundings. He was so good, we cancelled our car rental and asked him to drive us to cefalu and then Taormina . Made the whole trip so much more pleasant! We would recommend this company and ask for Marco all over again!

No guide - driver only. Not worth the money. I thought we were getting a guided private tour. No - just a driver.

Dario, our tour guide was fantastic! He drove us to Agrigento to see Greek ruins, took us to his favorite beach restaurant and showed us white sandy beach. Along the drive, he played favorite music and explained all sites in English. We really enjoyed our day with him😎👏

Mimmo was a great driver, guide and an engaging host. Agrigento is not to be missed. Takes you back to the time of Homer (600) BC. Mimmo took us to an unforgettable seafood restaurant for lunch. Then it was on to the Turkish steps for some fresh sea air and a view of an impressive natural wonder.

The tour of as perfect other than the fact that there was no English guide to take us through the Temple complex. For the price charged a guide should have been there.

We were piked up promptly at our hotel by our driver, Marco. The tour was extremely interesting. We hired a guide (I did not read the fine print). Her name was Ana, she was born in Greece, but has lived in Sicily for 25 years. Her knowledge of history, geography, and language was amazing. I would recommend her highly. The tour of Agrigento lasted almost two hours. Prepare to walk a lot. I wish the price included the guide. The next stop was the Turkish Steps. There was only one place to get a quick sandwich and a drink. The Turkish steps were impressive, but the long walk down stairs (and even longer back up) was difficult. All in all, we were lucky to have perfect weather and it was a great day!

Marco was an excellent driver and made sure we were comfortable. The valley of the temples and Turkish stairs are well worth the trip.
