Not a great tour. No detailed information on where meeting point was. We did not know which parking lot or entrance. Therefore we were late. No information that tour would be in English and Italian. No head sets to hear information about what we where seeing

This was was a nice tour - Liz was very friendly and covered just enough detail. Beautiful spot . Must see in Sicily

Mark_D

Seeing the temples was fantastic. We did not get what we paid for. The group was very large and the guide had to give the information in Italian and English so the tour was very drug out and we certainly must have missed some information that we would have gotten if the tour was only in English.

Liz was a great guide, very informative! The site is amazing, definitely a highlight of my trip to Sicily. Family friendly, we did well with our 2 year old in a stroller. There is a small cafe about half way through the park and a restaurant as well. Worth the 2 hours!

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.

Tobias_S

Die Führung war super und informativ. Allerdings war sie entgegen der Buchung nicht nur auf Englisch, sondern auch auf italienisch. Das war zwar nett für das italienische Pärchen, aber für mich/uns ging dadurch ein erheblicher Teil der zwei Stunden flöten, bei dem wir noch mehr Infos hätten erhalten können.

We decided at short notice to take a guided tour through the Valle dei Templi. It was a very good experience. Two hours are more than enough and the tour guide, Liss, has a very charming way of telling the stories. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant and interesting visit In a place that is already magical in itself, rich in history and myths, it took place with a heterogeneous group of strangers, who soon blended together, thanks to the masterful competence of the guide: Professor Calogero Montana.. The good Calogero managed to make the route of over 3 km a walk among "friends", peppered with art, history, anecdotes and mythology with competence, friendliness and professionalism, without delay and pedantry! Thanks Calogero, the love for your land and for your origins was that added value that made our tour unforgettable, as you managed not only to pass on your knowledge to us, but to give life and voice to those inanimate stones , in appearance the same as many others! I strongly advise you to contact him if you decide to visit the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

I absolutely recommend the guided tour of the catacombs, under the temples with archaeological guides. I was lucky enough to be accompanied by the enthusiastic and empathetic Paola C., a true revelation, passionate and capable of transmitting important and nice notions about life in the beautiful valley of the temples. I am a teacher and I consider the aforementioned even better than me for enthusiasm. I recommend this unusual and curious visit to deepen your knowledge of the place!
