Itinerary
The tour begins with The Valley of the Temples, among the best preserved archaeological sites of classical Greek civilization and corresponds to the remains of ancient Akragas. Characterized by important Doric temples from the Hellenic period, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. We want to make your visit to Agrigento unforgettable, which is why it is possible to book a certified tour guide who will allow you to grasp every single detail of one of the largest archaeological parks in Europe: The Valley of the Temples of Agrigento.
A splendid dazzling white jewel that frames the clear blue of the sea is the Scala dei Turchi. One of the favorite destinations of southern summers, thanks to its conformation with soft, rounded and irregular lines and the color of its "cold" white cliff. It is composed of clay and limestone sedimentary rock, which gives the cliff its characteristic white color and low temperature to the touch. You can have lunch at the wonderful Lounge Beach Scala dei Turchi restaurant, a location that integrates perfectly with the surrounding paradise, the sea, the sun and the famous seaside resort of Agrigento. The location of the restaurant allows you to admire, day after day, an enchanting sunset and panorama that frame the moment dedicated to lunch, aperitif, dinner or at the Cocktail Bar.

Driver was punctual. He was friendly, and arrival was on time. Our paid guide was knowledgeable and impressive. Going without a guide is like going to a movie without sound. The trip to the Turkish Steps was fabulous, and the restaurant lunch at the scenic location was so impressive. Our driver and the guide made the difference. Highly recommend it all!

From pick up to drop off, our driver Francesco was a consummate professional - fun, informative, personable. He made the day so memorable. At the archealogical park, we were met by our guide who also works as a Greek history teacher at a local high school. She was PERFECT, and really helped us understand what we were looking at as we moved among the ruins. We were so lucky to have her as our guide!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your experience with Francesco was so positive — he truly is a gem, and we're thrilled to know he made your day memorable with his professionalism and personality. We're equally pleased that you enjoyed the tour at the archaeological park. Our guide will be so happy to hear your kind words — her passion for Greek history and teaching really shines through, and it’s fantastic that she helped bring the ruins to life for you. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable journey! Warm regards, Alexandra
