The most AMAZING day ever! Michael was the greatest
Andrea_T
, May 2022
I came from New York City to Palermo for a week before heading on to Taormina. My friend and I were so excited to see Agrigento we didn’t want to use public transportation and risk getting lost nor did we have a car. This service was absolutely incredible. Michael was our host for the day, and he was the nicest and the most thoughtful guy EVER! He picked us up at 8 AM on the dot and introduced all of the passengers. The car was air-conditioned and clean and new, and he drove us through a beautiful scenic route to Agrigento. He made sure to stop for food for us and to explain everything about the place we were going as well as how to meet back up at the end. Afterword, he drove us to Scala Dei Turchi, the Turkish stairs, a GORGEOUS cliff side into the sea. This was not part of our itinerary and yet he did this just so we could have an extra moment. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life, and it was so simple — picked up and dropped off at the same hotel in Palermo. I could not recommend it more.

Walking through the Valley of the Temples was an extraordinary experience and the highlight of my 8 days in western Sicily. I researched the site and the history of area before the tour and that helped me give context to the site in the history of Magna Graecia and also the archeological history and protection of the Valley of the Temples.

Excellent tour with our driver Joshua
Antida_M

These Temple are worth a visit, our driver Joshua was very attentive towards everyone in the group he even went the extra mile and took us to the Turkish steps even though it was not part of the itinerary. Joshua was very polite and this is the first time that a driver on a tour did not ask for a tip at the end of the journey. Thank you Joshua keep up the good work.
Great day

Disappointed with surly driver, arrived late, refused to speak to us, and no museum visit or stop on journey
Pamela H

Temples are well worth a visit. Queues were an hour for security and entrance in 37'C heat. This would have been less but our driver abandoned us at the entrance. Our tour comprised two minibuses, the other driver escorted his group to the tours and groups entrance so they were fast tracked in!!! Not us, we didn't even know where to go. He wouldn't speak to us in English, just pointed his finger towards the huge queues of people. We also wasted time queuing for toilets as there was no stop on route for breakfast and toilets as expected from itinerary, and we were also hungry. Our driver was also very late, by 20 mins, which added to the "be there 15 mins early" meant we were standing for 35 mins with nowhere to sit.
We enjoyed the temples, interesting notes about how they were built too. The main road through is wide and the site more accessible than expected. Not much shade. Reasonably priced sandwiches at the restaurant, limited menu but very acceptable.
We also wasted half an hour at the cafe at the pick up point after tour. We were then told we were NOT stopping at the Museum as in our itinerary but were going straight back to Palermo. Expecting to go to the Museum we had purchased tickets for Temples AND Museum at an extra 4 Euros each so really disappointed and annoyed, after all if the driver had arrived on time we would have had time for the breakfast and comfort stop. If he had taken us as a group to fast track our entrance ( as the other driver did for his group) we would have been finished early enough to have an hour at the Museum. We expected a guide for the Temples but no guide for us.
Our driver refused to speak to us in English and used a young Italian in our tour group to translate yet a young Irish girl said he spoke excellent English when he picked her up from her residence, possibly as she was giving him extra as she was staying outside Palermo.
One of our group is diabetic so the missed breakfast stop was very distressing for him and made him feel very unwell which obviously spoiled the trip for him.
There were two minibuses travellng together from Palermo, we didnt have a guide for the temples as expected. I think the other driver DID escort his group comprising the same number of people as in our group, his name is Michael and he was my driver for a different trip to Etna and Taormina and he was brilliant, very talkative, stopped on route, took us to the front of the queue for the funicular, wish we'd had him for the Temples

Half-Day, Private Family Trip to the Valley of the Temples
David_C
, Jun 2019
This was a very pleasant trip for my family (a total of 6 persons) in an air conditioned mini-van. We were picked up at the NH Palermo Hotel by our driver, Michael, who spoke fluent English and was engaging, interesting and informative throughout the excursion. Upon our arrival at the Temples, his instructions were extremely clear after which he took us to a fine restaurant for lunch before returning to Palermo. Once again, his conversation was pleasant and informative. We enjoyed our trip, immensely, and would recommend this experience to future travelers without hesitation.

The tour was listed as an English tour. The driver/guide did not speak English. He talked mostly to the Italian speaking passengers and occasionally had Google Translate on his phone tell the English speakers something in sort of English. The sights were great.

, Apr 2017
Our driver, Leandre, was excellent. A very nice man, he even gave us bottles of water and snacks during the trip, and he always made sure to put an extra step on the ground outside the minibus to make easy for us to get on and off.
When you get to the Turkish Steps Scala di Turchi, definitely take a full hour to walk down to the beach and walk up the steps. It really is a sight to behold.
My only complaint...the name of the tour is Agrigento and Valley of the Temples. I thought we would see Agrigento AND the Valley of the Temples. From what I understand, there are some nice churches in the city of Agrigento. However, the tour does not go into the city of Agrigento, it only goes to the Valley and the Turkish Steps. I found that to be a bit misleading. Other than that, it was an enjoyable day, and both sites we did see on the tour were worth the money.

Tour davvero bello con guida molto gentile e preparata.
Bello che sei libero di girare il sito come vuoi ma avrei preferito spiegazioni a voce.
Purtroppo 2 ore volano e se si vuol fare con più calma servirebbe almeno un'altra ora e più.
Devo dire che, se il biglietto di ingresso fosse stato compreso nella quota, sarebbe stato perfetto ma vabbè.
Excusión valle de los templos de Agrigento

El lugar es muy especial y el paisaje muy bonito. La excursión le faltó hacer alguna parada de interés más, sólo fuimos al valle de los templos. Hubiera estado bien tener preparado billetes de entrada para evitar la espera en la cola. La guía Giulette que nos atendió muy atenta y profesional.
Excursión a Agrigento y al Valle de los templos.

En primer lugar el papel que imprimí ponía conductor-guía en español y no hablaba español, afortunadamente sí hablaba inglés y el italiano medio se comprende para un español, pero no es lo que ponía el papel. En segundo lugar veo para éste tour muy interesante que te lleven e incluso me reogieron e el hotel, que teniendo en cuenta que llevaba un día sin parar de llover, se agradeció mucho e incluso en Agrigento no llovió. El chófer aunque muy correcto y servicial no es lo que esperábamos, ya que hizo más bien de taxista, te dejaba en los sitios y te recogía a la hora indicada. Menos mal que en el sitio había audioguía en español para enterarnos de todo. En resumen muy recomendable en éste tour que te lleven, ya que es complicado por tu cuenta, igual que otros tours los puede hacer por tu cuenta sin problemas como a Monreale o Cefalú. Es el único tour que hicimos con una empresa y mereció la pena. El sitio merece la pena para ir. Son vestigios de la Magna Grecia sin ruinas, ya que los edificios estaban completos y muy bien conservados.

J'avais reservée cette excursion de base pour jeudi 12 et elle a été décalée au jeudi 19 (impossible pour moi puisque je suis rentrée sur paris à cette date).
Personne n'a cherché à me joindre c'est moi qui vous harcèle c'est inadmissible.
Et en plus on m'indique qu'on ne me remboursera pas c'est honteux ! Je compte pas faire de la bonne publicité à Viator.
