The town was founded by colonists from Rhodes and Crete coming from nearby Gela and reached its maximum splendor in the V c. BC when the magnificent Doric temples were built on the southern hill. In 406 the town was conquered by the Carthaginians though with the last Punic War it passed into Roman hands, who took over and changed its name to Agrigentum.

Visit to Valley of Temples
My husband and I very much enjoyed our day at the Valley of Temples with a delicious lunch in a nearby seaside resort town at a restaurant recommended by our guide, Domenico. Domenico is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and pointed our places of interest during our 2-hour drive from Polermo to Agrigento. He explained the history of the Greek settlement in the area. His English is excellent and easily understood. HIghly recommended.

This was an interesting...
This was an interesting site and our tour guide, Domenico, was wonderful -- very knowledgeable. However I enjoyed Segesta more and it was much less crowded.

Unforgettable day with Gigi Montalbano
We spent an unforgettable day with our guide Gigi Montalbano. A well of knowledge of the history of this enchanting place. A dive into the thousand-year history that few nations like Italy can boast. Thank you Gigi, because with your patience, passion and knowledge you made us live a unique experience. If we ever return to Agrigento we will contact you to relive other emotions like those of today.

A must
An amazing place, absolutely wonderful to wander around among all these amazing, well-preserved ancient remains. Very beautiful! It is well worth the time it takes to drive there.
Unfortunately, there is nowhere to eat lunch or have a coffee outside the entrance, only in the area itself. When we discovered this, it was a bit far to go back.

Can't Get Any Better Than Excellent
I have never written a review before and always preferred to keep my opinions private. Well this rule has now been broken. To be brief, my wife and I took a 14 day vacation to Sicily. We hired Mimmo to drive us around Sicily touring 4 of the major cities we chose. Hiring Mimmo was the best decision we made from years of traveling. We received a lot more than an excellent driver. We found Mimmo to be the nicest, professional and historically knowledgable person you can imagine. He was the "icing on the cake" from an amazing visit to Sicily. Grazie Amico!

Something wonderful.
The valley of the temples is magnificent, full of history, Greek mythology and beauty.
To do absolutely with the guide that is outside. We had Fernando as our guide. He entertained adults and children very well, very experienced, kind and funny. The time he dedicated to us was precious and flew despite the heat.

Excellent day with an excellent guide
Mimmo is the best tour guide. He is smart, funny, courteous, punctual and just wonderful to spend the day with. I highly recommend any tour with Mimmo and we will be using him again next time we are in Sicily.

All day tour
We were picked up by Mimmo at our hotel at 8:30am in Palermo. It’s was approximately 3 hours to Agrigento. Mimmo gave the six of us a great tour of the site with thoughtful explanations and context of what we were viewing . He then picked a great seafood restaurant for us to have a late lunch at before heading back to Palermo . Glad that we took this tour .
