アグリジェント : パレルモからの寺院の谷日帰り旅行

The Valley of the Temples was very interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable. On the whole a worthwhile tour

Excellent tour with helpful guides. Had to pay extra for guide Terry at the valley but absolutely worth it

The visit to the valley of the temples was fantastic! As outlined in the description you are only paying for the transport to the site - a very comfortable air conditioned 9 seater van. It was hot so this was perfect. On arrival you pay the site entry fee and you have the option to pay for a guide which I highly recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable. The driver for the day was friendly and helpful.

The Valley of the Temples at Agrigentum rates 5 stars and is not the subject of this review. My complaint is that the tour did not follow the described itinerary. It was supposed to include the Valley of the Temples and a second stop at the nearby archeological museum, but instead the second stop was at the Turkish Steps, which I was not particularly interested in seeing. Based on the tour description, I purchased a combination ticket online for both the Valley of the Temples and the archaeological museum, so some money was wasted. (But definitely purchase the Valley of the Temples admission on line, otherwise you will waste time standing in line.) As mentioned by other reviewers, this “tour” covers only round-trip transportation. There is no commentary or anything resembling a tour, so the description is a little misleading. You are entirely on your own for 2 hours at the site. This is adequate to see everything if you hurry, or you can ride the shuttle inside the site (4 euros for the 2-kilometer uphill return trip). It is not recommended for those with mobility issues. An additional complaint is a total lack of communication with the tour operator. They do not reply to messages or queries.

The site was incredible and a must visit for vacationers to Sicily to see these monuments. Our guide Filippo was amazing and took care of us well.

We booked this tour a couple of days before as we couldn't find direct trains to Agrigento from Palermo and really wanted to go. We knew from previous reviews that this was mainly a transport service, but we were happy to use this tour to visit. The meeting point was beside the famous Palermo Theatre and all went smoothly. It's a long drive each way, but once out of the busy centre of Palermo the scenery is stunning. Once at the ruins you had the choice of walking around yourself or doing a guided tour with a tour guide who came onto our bus. There was no pressure to take the guided tour, but we did and our tour guide was excellent and we felt it was well worth doing. It was €30 per person on the day to add the tour and was about two hours long. We stopped at some impressive cliffs on the journey back. We found the tour to be a good choice for visiting Agrigento from Palermo. The ruins are very impressive. Our whole group were on a large and comfortable coach for this tour. Thanks, from the Irish couple.

I expected a long drive. The vans were adequate. The communication of how long the drive would be, when we were stopping … was poor ( for example: we will arrive out our destination in 10 minutes) would have been helpful *our driver was competent but played talk radio with loads of commercials very loudly. Super annoying. The guide was very good but €30 per person is a bit much (group of 16)for 2 hours. The description in the Trip Advisor listing needs more detail!!

Had a wonderful day touring the Valley of the temples. We travelled to and from Palermo with our guide and driver Sergio, whom was very friendly and courteous. He did excellent handling our large group. It was a great day !

This tour only includes transport. Entrance fee and an excellent local guide cost extra. The archaeological site is superb and a must when visiting the area.

Very comprehensive & fun trip. Salvatore was our driver & was very friendly & helpful. I'm going on another of their trips tomorrow so would definitely recommend. 😁
