- Valle dei Templi - As you travel to the southern coast of Sicily, you will journey across the island in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The tour begins with a visit to the magnificent archaeological area of the Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pindar, the Greek poet and writer, described it as “one of the most beautiful cities of those inhabited by mortals.” “Valle dei Templi” is renowned for its well-preserved temples, seven in total. The Temple of Concordia is one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world, contributing to the site’s UNESCO World Heritage status. At the site, you can also explore the remains of many other temples dedicated to various deities such as Juno, Hercules, Hephaestus, and Athena.
- Villa Romana del Casale - In the early afternoon, the tour will reach Piazza Armerina, a city nestled in the heart of Sicily. Here lies the splendid Villa Romana del Casale, a majestic imperial villa that was originally owned by a powerful Roman family. This site boasts the best-preserved in-situ Roman mosaics in the world.
The Villa Romana del Casale features mosaic flooring – both figurative and geometric – as well as wall mosaics, columns, statues, capitals, and coins. Since 1997, the city has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Excellent Tour - Great tour for history buffs. You get a first hand view of both Greek and Roman history in Sicily. Exceptional tour guide who is very knowledgeable about both periods of history.

Good way to visit from Catania - Effective way of visiting the 2 sites. Driver excellent. Information on each site was easily enough so as not to need a guide

Mosaic madness!! - Fascinating tour! I thought I would like Agrigento the most but the Roman home with the mosaics was absolutely gorgeous. Damiano was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed his company very much. His choice of lunch stops was delicious. Best sandwich I had in Sicily. I would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful day in Sicily - Damiano was so informative. He knows the history of the world and shared it in a way so we felt more connected to the places we visited. He was caring and personable. It was a beautiful day. Damiano, Puti was fabulous! Thanks for the rec!

Great experience - Very good trip with a great driver and lots to see. Small group of maximum 8 and we had 5. Both places very different to each other but each worth a visit.

Fantastic trip, better to have more time. - The trip is certainly worth it. Francesco, the driver, is very patient. Unfortunately some of the people in the tour group got lost in the valley of the temples due to poor signage and we lost precious time. It'll be better to have more time to see both the valley of the temples and Villa Romana.

Beautiful trip. - I really enjoyed my experience today thank you. I saw some beautiful places on this trip. Although I was expecting it to be longer so more time at places would be appreciated. And it would be better if the entry tickets were included in the price as it was quite expensive.

Reckles driving - The tour is nice, the visit of the temple and casa is breathtaking. The guide was kind but the issue was his driving. I’ve got used to itailian stressful driving since I’m here but this was over the top and frankly dangerous. The guide was driving 3 times the speed limit (155 km/h in a 50 zone and 73 km/h in a 30 zone). My friend and myself were genuinely scared for our lives. Also, taste of siciilian sample for lunch is just a panini sandwich, so not worth the extra cost of the tour. And the luxury van is a car with non existent suspension. That paired with the reckless driving makes it a difficult day.
