Among the many stairways you know, this is definitely one of the most unusual. You have probably already realized that this is not a real ladder, but of a spectacular stretch of coast thanks to its peculiarity has become an icon of the Sicilian seaside tourism.This white cliff is located along the stretch of sea between Realmonte and Porto Empedocle (Agrigento) and its rock is made of a soft, limestone and a blinding white marl.
Our driver, Dario, was outstanding. The Valley of the Temples was incredible. After the Temples, Dario took us to the Lounge Beach restaurant with a view of the Turkish Scale. Food was great and the view from the restaurant was breathtaking. Shoutout to Dario!
Two hours from Palermo but worth it. The terrain along the way was interesting as is the Valley of the Temples. Our driver Dario was one of the best we have ever had. An accomplished driver and very courteous. He was pleasant company for our day trip.
We had a awesome driver DARIO!! He took us to the beautiful sites of Agrigento & Scala de turchi!! they were magnificent! he was so personable, very knowledgeable , and is a great driver !! Thank you DARIO for a most wonderful day and for all the great tips on where to eat !! Bobby, Maria & Christina USA! "Forget about it !! :)
Dario was very knowledgeable and friendly! He was able to help us if we had any questions and showed us different parts of the island. Highly recommend!
My daughter and I traveled here to see the Valley of the temples and it was spectacular. This was by far the best example of this time. In such great shape would highly recommend to any one.
We were so grateful to have Dario as our driver to take us to Agrigento and explain a few things about Palermo on the way. He wasn’t overly chatty but let us enjoy the ride and answered all our questions. We loved his music selection too.
We spent three days with Mauricio Escobar Fernandez in Santiago and surrounding area. We communicated for several months before the trip. He sent lots of information about the area and suggestions for tours, including prices which are very reasonable. We hadn't been in Chile an hour when I fell flat on my face and knees in the parking garage at the airport. (I was so disgusted with myself.) Mauricio was so concerned and helpful. We had planned a tour for that day, but he kindly took us to the hotel to recuperate and checked in later. Luckily, we were still able to enjoy two days with him. He was so thoughtful in adapting his tour to my injury. He speaks both English and Spanish and is very knowledgeable of the the area and its people. He takes you beyond the regular tourist areas to give you a true picture of the culture. We saw Santiago, Valparaiso, Vina del Mar, and enjoyed the Casablanca winery. Mauricio is a treasure and a wonderful representative of his country. You will feel that you've made a friend and be sad to leave him.
The driver was nice but on his phone a lot. Did a good job driving there and back but no additional information and we had to make a stop for him to buy fruit.
We arranged for the Agrigento trip months beforehand, but could have arranged just a few days prior, with great ease. The day before the trip, we received a notification and contact information and just as promised our driver, Marco, arrived 15 mins prior ready for us at pick-up time. Marco provided a clean, A/C cooled, comfortable van for up to 8 passengers and drove us safely from our rental home in Santa Flavia (Palermo area) to Agrigento and Scala di Turcas. Marco answered all of our questions and provided recommendations for restaurants in between the two excursions. At the Valley of the Temples, I purchased our entrance tickets on-line, but easily could have purchased them on-site with a few minute wait. Online tickets got us right in. It was hot, so having water along the way is key. Once the tour of the Valley was over (1.5-2 hours in length...that is about how long it takes to fully explore the valley), Marco picked us up promptly and drove us to lunch. At Scala di Turcas, we were pointed in the right direction and were glad to have this part of the trip added. Really an incredible sight!! Great adventure and photos. Afterwards, we met up with Marco for our journey home. To and from Palermo area, it took us 2 hours. The ride home gave us time for a much needed nap. Marco made us feel safe. After the trip, Marco provided us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations for Palermo. Well worth it!! Thanks!
Great driver (apologies, but its been a long time and I have forgotten the name), great vehicle and excellent tour. I recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to travel in comfort and not care about driving and/or parking.
My friend and I had Marco for driver. Very comfortable car and a fabulous driver. He was punctual, attentive and a very careful driver- knowledgeable about his surroundings. He was so good, we cancelled our car rental and asked him to drive us to cefalu and then Taormina . Made the whole trip so much more pleasant! We would recommend this company and ask for Marco all over again!
No guide - driver only. Not worth the money. I thought we were getting a guided private tour. No - just a driver.
Dario, our tour guide was fantastic! He drove us to Agrigento to see Greek ruins, took us to his favorite beach restaurant and showed us white sandy beach. Along the drive, he played favorite music and explained all sites in English. We really enjoyed our day with him😎👏
Mimmo was a great driver, guide and an engaging host. Agrigento is not to be missed. Takes you back to the time of Homer (600) BC. Mimmo took us to an unforgettable seafood restaurant for lunch. Then it was on to the Turkish steps for some fresh sea air and a view of an impressive natural wonder.
The tour of as perfect other than the fact that there was no English guide to take us through the Temple complex. For the price charged a guide should have been there.
We were piked up promptly at our hotel by our driver, Marco. The tour was extremely interesting. We hired a guide (I did not read the fine print). Her name was Ana, she was born in Greece, but has lived in Sicily for 25 years. Her knowledge of history, geography, and language was amazing. I would recommend her highly. The tour of Agrigento lasted almost two hours. Prepare to walk a lot. I wish the price included the guide. The next stop was the Turkish Steps. There was only one place to get a quick sandwich and a drink. The Turkish steps were impressive, but the long walk down stairs (and even longer back up) was difficult. All in all, we were lucky to have perfect weather and it was a great day!
Marco was an excellent driver and made sure we were comfortable. The valley of the temples and Turkish stairs are well worth the trip.
Beautiful drive to Valley of the Temples. Fascinating sites. Our driver, Marco, was a delight and gave us historical facts about Sicily and Palermo in general.
Valley of the Temples a must see - just beautiful! Gino was the best driver … terrific! The only reason I did not give a 5 was I would have thought for a 550Euro private transport experience, admission to sites would have been included. It was not. Just the driver. But Gino was excellent.
Marco was excellent! His English was good and his driving was better. Driving in Sicily is an adventure into itself and Marco did amazingly. Agrigento was something to see. We had two hours there and that was more than enough time since we walk relatively fast. The tour says four hours at the Valley of the Temples but it is not necessary. The Scale of the Turks was great too. Beautiful beach as well. There was a Tuk Tuk to cart you from the top of the hill to the beach and back. That was very helpful for my mother.
Our driver, Giovanni, made this trip so enjoyable! He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable car, gave us water, and provided stories, tips, and history throughout the drive, and even after the trip. Well worth the price. Adequate time for seeing top destinations. Highly recommend- ask for Giovanni!
A truly excellent service. Precise and punctual staff. Driver also prepared with tourist information on the locations with useful suggestions.
Esperienza consigliatissima. Daniele il nostro autista è stato impeccabile, puntuale serio e con una guida eccellente!! La rifarei a occhi chiusi!
Super recommended experience. Daniele our driver was very good, punctual, accurate and has an impeccable drive!! The total 4 hours of travel flew between chats! 100% satisfied
Thank you for this trip! Dario was a great driver, punctual and moreover following a problem of cancelled plane flight he shifted the day without problem. Very good driving despite the driving conditions in Sicily, we were reassured with him and slept quietly during this trip! Very good organization for day trips, temples and Turkish stairs. Very comfortable and spacious car for 4, with everything you need. Thank you again!
Beautiful site , I advise you to go in the late afternoon , l summer opening hours are very wide . Going there at dusk allows you to enjoy magnificent unwinder on the columns and especially you avoid the overwhelming heat .
