Amazing experience with terrific driver and guide. So much history in this magnificent setting. Adorable goats, interesting modern art sprinkled in, easy paths to navigate. Even the food truck had delicious offerings. Can’t miss this if you are in Sicily.

It was a great trip. Alessio knows a lot and speaks a few languages. We had a multilingual group, and he made sure everybody understood where we are and what it is, including legends and stories. Not a dull moment.
Beware that in November tourist season ends and a lot of places are closing, food vendors by the attraction points including: if you have diet restrictions, might be a good idea to grab some food with you.

Basically a cab service (which is fine). We had 2 1/2 hours at Agrigento and an hour at Piazza Armerino. Both were well worth visiting. Would recommend buying Valley of Temples tickets in advance as there was quite a queue.

This tour was outstanding! Alessio picked us up directly from our hotel and explained how the day would pan out. This was a very informative tour, the valley of the temples really was a highlight of our holiday. The second part of the tour took us to Piazza Armerina to view some of the mosaics and the Villa Romana del Casale! As a note, the parc for valley of the temples was between 10-12 euros per person for entry.
