Amazing visit - The Agrigento ruins were amazing. Our guide Carmelo was very accommodating, a wonderful driver and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great trip with excellent guide - We booked this trip because we wanted to relax and enjoy the road trip and the landscape during our trip in Sicily, without worrying about driving on roads we did not know. Alessio was a very competent driver and guide and made the whole experience very pleasant.

Greek and Roman ruins in magnificent setting - 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.

Essential - It is impossible to go through Sicily and not visit the Valle del templi in Agrigento. It is a magnificent place with a history yet to be discovered. UNESCO heritage and above all an incredible testimony of the Greek printing press on this Bedda island. The tour offers all the comfort and experience and knowledge of professional guides willing to clarify any questions, in an atmosphere of trust. Alessio is a professional guide, gentle and always ready to offer a diversity of knowledge about the culture, art and idiosyncrasy of this land. Highly recommended not only for history lovers, but for those who appreciate beauty.

Great trip. - 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.

Good tour - The sites are well-known and there is not much to add. They are amazing. However, keep in mind that the driver is not your guide at the sites. He or she is just going to drop you off and pick you up afterwards. The experience with the “official” docents at the “Valle dei Templi” was actually poor (not Viator’s fault, it has nothing to do with it). No guide at all was available at “villa Romana” when we got there, though you can actually tour the site effectively on your own. My only real remark is that 2 hours at villa Romana, including lunch, were not enough. The villa is amazing and you’ll find yourself rushing through things you’d like to spend more time on.

Experience the sights without the hassle - We had a great day visiting the Valley of the Temples and Villa Romana. We were picked up in Catania and driven across Sicily to visit these incredible sights. Going off other reviews, I think the amount of information you receive is based on your driver. Our driver was friendly and helpful, but this is not a guided tour. He answered our questions but wasn't there to give us a history lesson. He safely drove us across the island and back. Doing the maths, the tour costs a bit less of hiring a car and saves the hassle of navigating Sicily's roadworks and chaotic driving behaviour. Overall we had a great day and these are sights not to be missed!

A long trip but worth it - 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.
