An amazing day out. - Wear a hat !!! It's a long day but well worth it. Our driver was Petro and our guide was Salvatore. Salvatore was full of useful information and made the trip go fast with interesting facts. The countryside on the way was beautiful and it was interesting to see the farms and houses. The temples were magnificent, our guide gave very good explanations and where to wait if we had spare time. The stairs were good also, there is a nice beach there and at the meeting point there are places to eat drink and relax before the trip home. I also met some fellow travellers during the trip and it was interesting to hear other travellers thoughts on the sites visited. I had a bit of a sleep on the bus ride home the seats were very comfortable.

Wonderful experience not to miss while in Sicily - Our tour guide Roberta was very friendly and knowledgeable of the region. Provided interesting insights throughout the tour. The tour bus was comfortable, new and clean. The tour took just the right amount of time, not too rushed or too long. The ruins in Agrigento were worth the drive from Cefalu and the drive to Agrigento was beautiful. The beach and Scala dei Turchi was breathtaking and be sure to eat at the restaurant next to the beach. It is very nice with delicious food.

Must Visit! - Mariagrazia gave an excellent tour, the driver did a great job also especially since there was so much road construction.

Good your - Interesting tour, did the job. I found the guide very simplistic in the explanations although very pleasant gentleman. Wish it was more exciting and with more historical background to put the place into perspective...

7 Hours of Coach Travel... - It may only be 2 hours travel time each way, but that doesn't include the multiple pick-up stops after the Cefalu station pickup before the journey to Agrigento actully starts. So really around 3 hours each way from Cefalu Station. Coach itself was pristine, well air conditioned and the driver excellent - no Italian driving dynamics at all! The valley site was really worth the visit and was not overly crowded (Sunday, 8th June). 2 hours in the Sicilian sun, although generally tree shade during guide talks, was ample time to see around the valley. Our guide was excellent, managing the full tour in both fluent English and French. Didn't go to the beach, too many steps for oldies, but a pleasant lunch in an acceptable restaurant was a reasonable alternative. Good value for what was supplied, but in hindsight would rather have done the visit independently, Trenitalia having tickets for €23, including bus from/to Agrigento to/from the site.

Good but rushed. - Agrigento was a fantastic and interesting place. The guide was very knowledgeable but the whole thing was rushed. Given most people will probably only visit once it would have been good to take people through more slowly, to have time to fully appreciate it.

Well organised tour - Picked up on time in central Cefalu in a new coach - good communication with company before trip and guide was obviously passionate about her subject. Not a lot of time at Scala but Agrigento is an amazing place to visit.

Way too long! 10 hour day - What was supposed to be a 7 hour trip was actually 10 hours! First hour was spent picking up people from 10 different locations..far too much! Valley of temples good but we were given 2 hours 15 mins at next stop which was way too long. It was supposed to be an hour stop. Traffic was fine so no excuses there. This trip needs to be advertised as 10 hour day not 7
