Agrigento’s temple ridge is a large archaeological landscape, not a quick monument stop. Good visits account for heat, walking distance and the best direction for late light.

“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”
Palermo to Agrigento day trip by air-conditioned minivan for UNESCO Valley of the Temples, expert guidance, and self-paced museum time.
“En masse, our group decided to “hire” one of the guides who await groups such as ours as they arrive at the gate. She was wonderful. I know you can take an audio guided tour, however, an audio guide can’t answer a question that may arise and she was terrific. The Valley of the Temples is a beautiful, historic, place that inspires awe and wonder. I encourage anyone considering this tour to take it. When we left Arigento, we took a break by the sea and it was a moment to soak in nature at its most powerful.”
