Michele gives a fascinating tour of the Valley of the Temples and the museum. He's very knowledgeable, full of facts and interesting tidbits of information and presents it all in a very relatable way. He mixes the ancient with the modern which really contextualizes the history. He speaks English fluently and without an accent. He makes the place come alive! Highly recommend him!!

We found Michele Gallo through the Rick Steves Sicily travel book. Michele was very easy to work with- contacted us quickly through email and whats app. He arranged for Carmelina to take us through the Valley of the Temples. It was well worth the money to have a guide. The site is large and its hard to understand the interaction between the various temples on your own. The site was closed the day we were supposed to go due to storm damage. Michele notified us the night before, as soon as he learned of the closure. He was able to make arrangements for another day so we did not miss this stunning site. Excellent customer service!

Michele gave us a very interesting and well-informed tour of the incredible arcahaeologic park at Agrigento. It really made the ancient city come to life - very well worth the cost.

Wonderful visit not only for the monumental show but above all for our guide Calogero who conveyed to us all the love for the history of his native land. Highly recommended and if you can, ask to go with him, I'm convinced it makes the difference...

Excellent guide Liz GarcÃa cell phone +39 349 7922686, takes us back to the time, passionate about this site and its history, highly recommended
Se fosse per Viator, saremmo ancora all'ingresso ad aspettare la guida col cappellino bianco. Ho chiamato tre volte durante la giornata al numero indicatomi senza mai ricevere risposta. Fortunatamente un'altra guida, sig. Claudio, resosi conto della nostra triste situazione, ci ha permesso di partecipare al suo gruppo.
