Highly recommended - Liz was a great guide, very informative! The site is amazing, definitely a highlight of my trip to Sicily. Family friendly, we did well with our 2 year old in a stroller. There is a small cafe about half way through the park and a restaurant as well. Worth the 2 hours!

Very good leadership - We decided at short notice to take a guided tour through the Valle dei Templi. It was a very good experience. Two hours are more than enough and the tour guide, Liss, has a very charming way of telling the stories. Highly recommended!

Difficult to find guide at the start! - Our guide Rosa showed up 15 minutes late; (one couple had already left to join another group) even though the tour clearly stipulated to arrive early It was also totally unclear which of the many entrances the tour departed from, plus if it was possible to easily park at said entrance ( it’s the top of the hill entrance) The tour itself was ok, but I can’t highly recommend! Agrigento itself was fabulous and memorable!

Valley of temples. Poor tour - Not a great tour. No detailed information on where meeting point was. We did not know which parking lot or entrance. Therefore we were late. No information that tour would be in English and Italian. No head sets to hear information about what we where seeing

Make sure the tour will only be in one language. - Seeing the temples was fantastic. We did not get what we paid for. The group was very large and the guide had to give the information in Italian and English so the tour was very drug out and we certainly must have missed some information that we would have gotten if the tour was only in English.
