Agrigento; Valley Of The Temples, Scala Dei Turchi From Palermo, Private Tour

A truly fascinating trip made all the more interesting by our excellent guide Ana.

We had a fantastic tour with Fabrizio and Anna, both really knowledgeable, we received so much information! Great driving, guidance and food!

Mimo was a fantastic driver and Anna was a great guide. I couldn't have hoped for a better tour. I hope to see Mimo again on Sunday for our next tour. Thank you??

Giuseppe was a great driver. He took time to explain the sights to us and shared a lot about Sicilian culture. Anna, our tour guide at the temples, was incredibly knowledgeable and allowed us the time we needed to take a lot of pictures. She also happily took our picture in great spots with the temples in the background.

Beautiful drive from Palermo to Agrigento. The tour was wonderful and very informative. Lunch was great and we really enjoyed Scala de Turchi. Our driver Guiseppe was so kind and very helpful and knew the area very well.

The tour was amazing. Giuseppe was a great guide, very friendly, and knowledgeable about the region. Anna was a great tour guide at Valley of the Temples. Would highly recommend this trip.

This full day experience featured a drive south to Agrigento to see the temples of the gods. Our driver, Mimmo, shared information along the way. He was super courteous and concerned for our comfort and welfare. Our guide at the temples was Anna. She was incredibly knowledgeable and we felt well informed about what we were seeing. We recommend this trip!

Long drive from Palermo but totally worth it. The valley of temples is stunning. Having a guide was worth the extra cost but the layout and signage would make it possible to do without.

The drive from Palermo to Agrigento, our private tour of Agrigento, our delicious lunch at a seaside restaurant, and the new route back to Palermo were ALL SPECTACULAR! Our guide/driver Fabrizzio was off-the-charts fabulous. So smart and interesting and knowledgeable. A wonderful and safe driver…a total delight in every way. We could not recommend this fabulous day-trip any higher! Christina

You do want to see the valley of temples. You will feel transported in time and probably will feel you are in Greece. Fabrizio our driver and Danielle our guide were amazing. They truly helped make our tour a great experience. You should get a tour guide. Danielle was very professional and passionate. Thank you Fabrizio for all the info and conversation we had.

The valley of the temples is not to be missed – the ruins are beautiful, the history is fascinating – our guide Anna did a wonderful job.— the park itself is beautiful and green and open, and you feel like you are out in nature. Scala dei Turchi was less impressive – perhaps in part because we chose not to climb down the stairs and saw it from above. One of the best parts of our day was getting to know our wonderful driver Luca (ask for him if you can!)

Mimmo was an outstanding guide. He was professional, very personable and an excellent navigator. He was very accomodating as well. He found us a beautiful location for an excellent lunch which we highly recommend.

Our driver was fantastic! He was well versed in the history of the area and was very polite and accommodating. Could not recommend enough.

Agrigento was amazing - Anna was an exceptional guide - she was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to be with. Our driver Luca also helped to make the day very pleasurable.

We had a very enjoyable day. The tour of the Valley of the Temples was a must-see and very informative. Our driver was excellent…very friendly and kind. He took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. The car was very nice and comfortable. Overall an excellent experience and value.

Fabrisio was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour. The guide assigned to us were also helpful. We truly enjoyed our trip.

This was a lovely day with our fabulous driver, Fabrizio. He was kind, considerate, welcoming, and informative! We have made a friend! Our tour guide at the temples, Claudio, was a treat! He brought the history alive for us. We had a lovely lunch at the water’s edge and a safe and comfortable ride to and from. We highly recommend this private tour. It is pricy, but worth it.

Beautiful scenery and Mimmo and Anna were great guides. Pace of day was good with plenty of time for everything

We were completely satisfied with our tour to Agrigento. Our tour guide, Marcello, was extremely professional. During our drive he explained different areas we were passing which made the drive very pleasant. He was very attentive to our needs and made an effort to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our tour. Anna met us at the Valley of the Temples and was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable, and well informed. Marcello gave us options for lunch and we chose the restaurant near the Turkish Steps overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It was spectacular. I hope you will pass this review onto Marcello so he knows how much we appreciated our experience. I highly recommend this incredible tour and hope you are fortunate to have Marcello as your guide.

The drive was nice, scenery was beautiful (especially the white cliffs!) & the Valley of the Temples was wonderful! Anna was very informative & very kind!! Mossimo was a great driver & happy to take our pictures of us. Thank you!

The scenery and tha whole day was outstanding. We traveled in a brand new Mercedes Benz car but the guide/driver, Mimmo was the best. He was a professional and friendly guide. We strongly recommend him and the tour.

This was a great tour. Our driver was the utmost in politeness and had the ability to drive in the traffic chaos of Palermo. We met our guide there and she was wonderful. We had originally booked with another company that canceled us with no reason. We then rebooked only to find they didn’t have an English guide. Viator suggested this company and they were amazing! Granted it is a bit pricey, but we felt it was totally worth it.

Our only time in Agrigento was the 5 minute drive to get to the start of the tour of the Valley of the Temples on time. It was the main event. The guide there was informative and there was a lot to see. The driver mumbled a lot and had very limited English. He suggested a lunch spot but it was closed and we ended up with a mediocre panino at a random cafe. Somewhat disappointing. The stop at Scala de Turchi was very short, really just a photo op. The Valley of the Temples was the best part by far.

Our driver Sergio was great. 5 stars for his service. There was just not enough to see on this tour. Especially given the price of it it is just not a good value for the money.

I had a wonderful time during this tour. Mr. Mimmo has been very professional, kind and helpful throughout the trip. After the scenic drive from Palermo to Agrigento. I got plenty of time to explore both valley of the temples and Scala dei Turchi. Thank you Mimmo it was a pleasure to have you as my driver.

The trip was amazing. Our driver Sergio took us to an amazing restaurant by the Turkish Steps that was wonderful. He went out of his way to accommodate us!!

Sergio was our driver for our day out to Agrigento; From Palermo, the drive was not short, but Sergio made it very enjoyable. he gave us a lot of information about the different areas of Sicily; he found us an amazing location for lunch right near Scala dei Turchi. Our car was very nice, he had cold waters back for us at the car after each of our stops. Our tour guide (Anna) at Akragas in the Valley of the Temples was very knowledgeable and allowed us all the time we wanted to take pictures and ask questions. This experience is very much recommended.

Mimmo was incredibly personable and accommodating as well as an exceptional driver. He always gave us choices and we never felt rushed. A Splendid day - thank you Mimmo!

Great Day tour to see Sicily from Mondello to Agrigento!! Our driver Mimmo was the kindest person and was a great calm driver. It was a real treat to be picked up from our hotel. He suggested the most amazing restaurant at the beach and it was our favourite in Sicily. He had such patience as we saw the attractions. It was lovely to drive through the amazing landscape. Our guide at the Valley was Anna and she explained all the history so well. It was super hot but we enjoyed the day very much. Well worth the visit!

Highly recommend this experience if you want to see the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. Sergio was an excellent driver and host, even arranging for lunch at a beautiful restaurant on the beach overlooking the Scala dei Turchi. Definitely worth adding on the guided tour of the temples. Anna was a great guide!

A must do trip if you are in Palermo or in Sicily. Agrigento is a amazing place to visit with the historic temples and the beautiful Turkish steps with the amazing beach. Mimmo made our experience very memorable. He is polite, very helpful, friendly, informative and just overall a great person to go on a tour. Thanks.

Excellent driver Mimmo who was very informative & Anna the guide at Agrigento was great. Mimmo was very passionate & friendly. If we’d known the cost of the food in the suggested restaurant would have opted for somewhere much cheaper having already spent a significant amount on the cost of the tour. We would have had a quick lunch snack & maybe had a swim in the water which looked so inviting near Scala dei Turchi

Excellent tour with Driver Mimmo and tour guide Daniele. This was a private shore excursion and well worth the money. Daniele was very informative and we learned a lot. Driver was very professional and punctual.

We had a wonderful day. It started with our driver picking us up at our hotel in Palermo, in an air conditioned Mercedes Bens with a cooler of water bottles for everyone. We had a long drive over hills and through narrow roads, but we felt very safe. Upon arrival at the Temples, we met our tour guide who was very friendly and engaging for us all, including my children. He knew the history very well and he was funny. We stopped for a drink and a snack and continued through the park until we saw all of our sites. After this, we met our driver again and we were taken to a beautiful restaurant on the ocean for lunch, after we walked to the Turkish Steps from the restaurant. This was a perfect day.

Giovanni our driver was very professional and courteous . We went to the Valley of Temples and met our guide Daniell - he took his time to explain the site in detail to us and recommended a beautiful restaurant on the coast. We also went to the Turkish steps and found some amazing views. Highly recommend this company!

An awesome day visiting the valley of the temples and the Turkish steps . Well. Worth the travel time in a very comfortable car with a great driver Mimmo who was delightful and very knowledgeable.

Valley of the Temples, Agrigento Sicily is a UNESCO site. It is an Ancient Greek settlement with Temple ruins and beautiful views. The grounds are well cared for and an easy walk. Impressive temples are the highlight but the gardens and flora are impressive also. Anna our guide was knowledgeable about both and filled in the background with stories and history. Thanks Anna you made the experience memorable and fun

The drive was spectacular! Claudio our driver was fantastic and spoke English very well. Pointed out every point of interest along the way to the temples. Anna our guide was awesome and knowledgeable. Could not have done that without her. Claudio took us to a restaurant for lunch and it was delicious! Turkish steps were gorgeous. Highly recommend this excursion.

Anna our tour guide at the Valley of the Temples was exemplary—informed, engaging, extremely knowledgeable, great visual aids, fun to spend time with. Our driver was a disappointment in that he had an agenda for lunch—where he wanted to eat—we strongly suspect he got a free lunch! When I suggested a place on the water where friends had eaten, he said we didn’t want that place and he had never gotten a complaint about the place we ended up at. We would have preferred a mediocre restaurant on the water vs. a mediocre restaurant near a (not-in-operation that day) children’s amusement park. The photo for this tour shows the beach near the gorgeous Turkish Steps, and we only got to see them from up above on the other side. As we drove past the area we wanted to see, eat, including a closer view of the beach and water, the other couple from our guided tour were on the road, so clearly it was an option to stop there. This was a very expensive tour and we felt a bit taken.

The historical significance and the impressive knowledge from the guide made this experience in Sicily memorable. We were in awe of the remaining artifacts from those time periods.

This tour was amazing the temple the Turkish steps breath taking . Marcelo was our driver and took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch. He was so kind and considerate of our needs . Who takes the tour to the temple please ask for Marcelo for your tour guide .

Driver made trip informative. The guide was knowledgeable and extremely nice. As with most long drives the weather can be the difference between great and a wasted day. We were lucky and had good weather.

Our trip to Agrigento was wonderful! It is beautiful and amazing to see one of the most well preserved Greek temples. We were in Palermo and really wanted to see the ruins. Booking through Viator provided a fantastic driver Marcello who picked us up at our hotel. He was extremely kind and made the trip so comfortable. He coordinated the local guide for our tour of Agrigento who met us upon our arrival. On our way back to Palermo Marcello arranged a table at a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful view of Scala deli Turchi. It was a wonderful day and very memorable experience.

We had a great time. The guide was excellent the driver very capable. the guide was very well versed and entraining. The views are great and the ride a little long.

I had a great time on the tour. Visiting the Vlle dei Templi with a guide is a must or else you don't really know what you are looking at except you know it's the ruins of a temple. Anna provided the history and the why. Also, the weather in Sicily in November is so much better than during the summer. My driver Mimmo was great! So professional, knowledgeable, and a good driver (especially in Palermo traffic). Pick-up and drop-off were great. Mimmo's restaurant recommendation was wonderful! It was too bad the Scala dei Turchi was closed off due to possible landslides, but the views were magnificant! We drove to 2 different spots to get some great views. Got on to the beach and walked as close as I could get. Overall, well worth the time and money spent. Would definitely recommend to others.

The Turkish steps were amazing. Highly recommend. Great trip. Valley of the temples must see sight in Sicily.

We chose the option to have a private driver and guide and we’re not disappointed. Mimmo our driver was considerate and knowledgeable. Anna our guide at the Valley of Temples was excellent and made the tour very worthwhile. Lunch was delicious. The Turkish steps were gorgeous and a beautiful way to end the day.

Marcello our driver was there on time to pick us up in a very comfortable vehicle. The guide who took us through the Valley of the temples was informative. Unfortunately our stop for lunch at a restaurant in Agrigentro was overpriced and service was poor. Our last stop at the beach was lovely and a far better place for lunch. We were not reminded to bring our swimsuits as we would have enjoyed the opportunity.

Our driver Marcello was very good, friendly and spoke English very well. He was a careful driver. Our tour guide was very good, she was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. We really enjoyed our trip
