Private Tour to the Villa Romana del Casale and the Valley of the Temples

These two historical sites were very special and worthwhile to visit. Our driver was very professional and courteous. Highly recommend.

Just finished this trip. Gabriel was the driver. Great guy great service. He picked us up in Taormina so we covered a lot of ground. Since only 2 of us we rode in an audi. Comfortable and scenic drive. The valley of tile and villa are both amazing sites. We felt there was enough info that we did not hire individual guides in either site. Time allowed so we made a quick stop at Piazza Aremina. A roman water fountain. Fun!

Highly recommend this tour! Manuel was a wonderful guide and very accommodating of our needs while traveling with a 1-year-old. He even made an extra stop at a shop so we could pick up baby food. The sites were incredible and we had a great day.

Manuel took us on a fantastic day exploring the amazing temples and even more amazing Roman Villa! Manuel picked us up in a very comfortable car right from our hotel and drove us to all the places, explaining how to visit them. Then dropped us right back to our hotel door! We had an excellent day and it would have been extremely difficult on our own so we are very glad we booked this tour

The Valley of the Temples is a must see. I highly recommend this tour operator - Best of Sicily Tours - and ask for Manuel. He was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to assist me throughout the day.

We did this tour mainly to visit the Valley of the Temples at Agrigenta which were magnificent and well worth the longish drive from Taormina. However, the visit to the Roman Villa was gob smacking and so much more than we ever imagined. The mosaics were just unbelievable and in such good condition. Our driver Manuel was a great driver. Very punctual, thoughtful and knowledgeable about our main attractions and lots of interesting information as we drove through the beautiful Sicilian countryside. A wonderful day and we would totally recommend this private tour.

It was perfect from beginning to end. Manuel met us at our hotel on time and delivered us back 4 July 2024. His knowledge was very impressive. We highly recommend Manuel for his superb service and he was an outstanding person to spend the day with. Thank you so much Manuel for a memorable visit to the Valley of the Temples and to see the beautiful mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale. This was our first visit to Sicily and it was amazing!

Guide was ok with less information than many of the other guides we have booked on Viator. Was more like having a personal driver for the day. Solid day and our guide had some great food/restaurant recommendations.

This trip was a fantastic opportunity to experience the Greek temples and truely amazing mozaics at the Roman villa. Our driver Manuel was a good safe driver and helped us where he could. Unfortunately we travelled in a very old and uncomfortable van which on a long trip was disappointing. The description was deceptive as we thought lunch was included which it is not. Also for a long day with 2 locations 1 bottle of water was a bit mean. So we enjoyed seeing the sights but not sure if it is good value from Catania.

I called the office the day before the trip and told them I was a nervous passenger and to tell the driver. Gabriel was our guide and was extremely flustered due to traffic and not being able to park near our hotel. When we got to his car, which we had thought was supposed to be a luxury SUV, it turned out to be a small SUV, well at least it had air-conditioning. Gabriel navigated his way through the morning traffic with ease. Once on the highway he drove at high speeds to which I asked him to slow down, this was the 2nd time I told him I was a nervous passenger. As per other reviews I was under the misconception that this was going to be a guided tour. It was transport to the locations and then we were left to our own devices at each site. There was no history tour or information about the places visited. I did ask a question but was told he was concentrating on driving and the question was never answered. Lunch was not as mentioned in the booking. We presumed he would have checked with the resturant if they were open before we arrived. Nope, they were closed so he ushered us to a corner cafe with food sitting in a baymare. The best part of the day was the sites and what we saw. Gabriel tried to made it an acceptable day but we would not do it again. BTW, the tour company needs to update the cost of entry, Agrigento was 15 euro (not 10) and mosiacs was 12 euro
