Agrigento: Valley of the Temples Tour – Small Group or Private
Description
Feel the warmth of the Sicilian sun on golden stones and breathe in the scent of olive groves as you journey through the Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Accompanied by a licensed guide in English or Spanish, explore one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological parks, where history, myth, and landscape blend in harmony. Step by step, admire the majestic Temple of Juno, the graceful Temple of Concordia, the legendary Temple of Hercules, and the monumental ruins of the Temple of Zeus, once the largest Greek temple ever built. Through vivid storytelling, your guide will bring to life the glory of ancient Agrigentum, one of Magna Graecia’s most powerful colonies. More than a tour, this is a sensorial journey: hear the crunch of gravel, feel the play of light on the ruins, and watch the temples glow at sunset. Leave not just with knowledge, but with an unforgettable emotional connection to Sicily’s ancient soul.

It was a perfect afternoon for a visit. It looked like it's going to rain but it didn't so it was cool. The only inconvenience that we had was that Viator is sending a map with the meeting point marked inside of the exhibition, which is very confusing. But the star of the show was our guide Luigi. He really put in a lot of effort to engage us and make us realize how important this place is. We had a great time, the best so far in Sicily.
I was in Agrigento this year. I bought the tickets in the park itself. It is a unique experience. I never thought that the Valley of the Temples would take you to ancient Greece. The state of preservation is wonderful. Highly recommended.
Our guided tour was very informative and worth having someone explain the history of the area. It was a relaxing stroll, the view of the city and the countryside were amazing. We were able to get very close to the temples. It is worth doing it in the late afternoon as the sun was setting and the temples were nicely illuminated for fabulous pictures. After the tour, you are able to wonder on your own to enjoy the experience more.
Interesting place to visit. It was hot! There was a small child in our group and a dog. The child was struggling and distracting. Our tour guide Rosanna was terrific.
We really enjoyed our guide Roseana. She was patient and knowledgeable. We had a small group. Travelers brought a dog and one couple brought a young child. It was 90 degrees at least. (:The site was interesting and worth seeing.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. Knew so many incredible facts.
Our tour guide Luigi was fantastic! Very interactive and knowledgeable. A late afternoon tour is the only way to see this site as it was quite hot. A must see in Agrigento
Guide’s English was good but the information he provided was rambling & incoherent with little information about the temples themselves - we learnt more from the signs at the temples. Tour was advertised as a 5pm tour but he left at 450pm before 4 other tourists had arrived. Would not recommend this guide - he spoiled our experience of what is a beautiful place. Never introduced himself so don’t know his name.
Guide was very good, recommend doing evening tour due to hot sun, can find shade along the tour route, guide made sure we had shade to stand , long walk, need to be prepared to walk back after your complete
Very nice tour, the guide had lots of information about the valley, she answered a lot of questions.
