“We had a great day with Sergio, our driver. He was very friendly and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this trip as the Valley of the Temples and the Turkish steps on the sea cliff are spectacular!! My only suggestion is to bring euro if you want a guided tour of the temples, which is worth it. We had so much fun, we didn't want the day to end!”

“la visite est parfaite. a faire au coucher du soleil magnifique. cependant l audioguide n est pas top. 1es explication par temple ne dure qu une minute du mal a trouver la position exacte sur le site. et comme l appli est sur le téléphone, quand on prend des photo il faut se remettre sur l appli.... donc je recommande cette visite bien sûr mais sans l audioguide un manuel a vendre a l entrée est presque mieux”
Review of Agrigento’s electric scooter tour, with practical advice on guides, paths, price, tickets, safety, and who should book.
“Our tour operator, Fabrizio, was simply terrific. He spent time ensuring that we could use the equipment safely, then led us on a fun and informative tour of the park on great little electric scooters. Fabrizio loves his city, the park, and Sicily, and gave us insights on the park and the region in general that we never would have learned otherwise. The scooters were far better than walking, allowing us to focus on the attractions and fun conversation instead of an arduous walk. Fabrizio soon seemed like and old friend, helping us take pictures and giving us tips for the best views. We stayed until dark, then the park…”

“Fantastic tour! We were traveling 2 hours for this tour and had some hiccups along the way. We let the guide know about us possibly being late and he was extremely accommodating. He called and made arrangements to leave the entry tickets for us. He then let another guide who was giving a tour know that we could possibly join her tour. She kept an eye out for us and even came back to the entry gate to get us. They were all so kind, and welcoming. The tour itself was fantastic. They gave so much interesting history and answered lots of questions. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”

Review of the Taormina day trip to Agrigento and Villa Romana del Casale, with costs, timing, guides, lunch, transport, and practical tips.
“A very long day- and tiring as we did a lot of walking. Give yourselves a day off after doing this! It was a long drive from Taormina to the south of Sicily. Our guide gave us some information about the country. We had beautiful weather, so the temples were stunning. Our local guide was good, although there were long delays as she had to do each talk twice, once in German, then in English. We had some free time after the guided tour. Then we drove to the Villa Romana del Casale, which was a delight. Not to be missed if you like Roman archaeology. The mosaics are so…”
