Ruins are really cool. Tour guide was informative and engaged. Walking was challenging at times and sites are fairly spread out from each other and ground is uneven
A bit of history

If I could give our guide a 10 I would. If you're in Sicily, you don't want to miss The Valley of the Temples. Seeing 7 Greek/Roman temple ruins in one spot. Magnificent. Our guide was wonderful and very good about explaining everything we saw. I don't think it would be as enjoyable without the tour guide.

This tour was very interesting. It would have been better if our guide had a microphone and we had an audio headset. I feel that I missed some of the interesting information he had to share about this amazing place.

A very good historical tour of the temples and the surroundings and the town of Agrigento. Of course the only drawback was the heat. But the tour operator can’t do much about that. It would’ve been good to have a little stop in the middle of the tour for everyone to get water or go to a café and get some drink and refreshment before continuing on.

Sara was a knowledgeable guide. She answered all my questions and seemed to really know her stuff. It would have been helpful to know the guide’s name ahead of time to facilitate meeting up. The site itself was a stunning example of antiquity with beautiful views from up high to the sea.

We made the Valley of the Temples with Alessio and we loved it as a guide, it explains very well the history of the Valley of the Temples and its curiosities.
Must see experience but try to find a group that all speaks the same language.

It was a bit too large a group (30) plus the tour guide repeated everything in Italian after the English which made it go V e r y S l o w. The tour guide knew her stuff. It was interesting but it would have been much better if it was only English speaking.

The company did not provide any meeting instructions and we could not find our group. Made numerous attempts to the guide and company with no results. Ended up just doing it solo. Based on the fact that we had done our due diligence it attempting to contact them we made a request for refund through Viator who was no help at all and denied the request. Be aware that you will not be able to contact the tour company if any issues arise
A little disappointing

Booked an English speaking tour but there was a small group with us that only spoke Italian so she had to give the speech to us then we had to wait 10-15 minutes before we could move on to the next place
