Well organized and informative tour - My wife and I did this day trip to Agrigento a couple of years ago and it’s still one of the highlights of our time in Sicily. The Valley of the Temples is really impressive in person, and having a guide made a big difference in understanding what we were looking at and the history behind it. The day was well organized and ran smoothly, and it felt like a good balance of guided explanation and time to walk around and take everything in. We never felt rushed, but we also covered a lot. The drive was comfortable and the whole trip felt easy and well planned. Overall, it was a great way to visit Agrigento without having to worry about logistics, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see the temples in a relaxed and informative way.

Sicilians are deservedly proud of their history, food and land - We had an excellent experience from the beginning planning of our tour to the end. It was easy to negotiate what we wanted to see and how we wanted to travel and stay. We had several different drivers during our 2 week plus trip. All drivers were friendly, experienced, warm and informative. We loved Palermo at Easter and especially the agritourismo farms where we stayed. The Roman villa tour was the best ancient history presentation ever. It is a stunning site. Spring in Sicily is beautiful and not as hot or crowded as summer. Go for the history, the food, the architecture and the landscapes. We highly recommend TourofSicily - Goitalytours.

Beauty and History - Tour was outstanding as was the guide. The historical significance of the temples, coupled with the beautiful views made for an extremely memorable experience. The mosaic floors in the Casale were equally beautiful, just in a different way.

If you are in Palermo and... - If you are in Palermo and have any interest in antiquity, this tour is really worthwhile, visiting two very significant ancient Greek and Roman sites in Sicily. One of the temples is preserved almost intact and seeing this 2500 year old structure still standing is very special. The mosaics in the Roman villa are similarly impressive. A couple of notes about this trip - firstly, it's a VERY long day and one needs to be prepared for this. We left Palermo at around 6:30am, and were only back around 5pm. One travels more than 250km during the day, and although all the roads are tarred, the ride can be very bumpy. If you have a back issue, make sure you don't sit at the rear of the vehicle (which is a very nice MB bus). The tour reaches the Valley of the Temples at around mid-day, and even though it was already autumn, the day was hot - take lots of water, a hat, and sunscreen, as there isn't much shade. Also take every opportunity to use a WC, as these are few and far between on the trip. There is an opportunity to buy coffee and breakfast at the Roman villa site, as well as something for lunch at the Valley of the Temples, but bringing along some snacks, and WATER, is a highly recommended.

I'm glad I went. - It's a relief to walk easier than I thought. That statue at the ruins was recent. Well, of course... The valley was enjoyed by the ancient ruins, which were not as hot as forty-five years ago, and we were able to visit at a good time. I still think it's a place to go. Armelia saw so many mosaics, and there were places where they were ruined, but I thought the arrowhead mosaics stayed beautiful for so long.
