It is worth checking the dates of this tour from Cefalu when booking a hotel. We loved the tour and managed to take it on our booking out day from our hotel because the tour operators were brilliant, keeping our cases safe for us in the coach. We had arranged this prior to the tour. The tour is worth while from Cefalu. The temples are magnificently well preserved and walking was easy enough at a steady pace with time to appreciate them. We did not want to stay in Agrigento town so this worked out brilliantly. The guides were great.
The views were amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable and we learned a lot! We have nmany beautinful pictures. The timilng of the trip was perfect. Just enough time to see everything. A definitel must see while in Sicily!
Kefatur gives valuable advice and organizes everything down to the last detail. The trip to the Valle dei Templi was well arranged, but you can also leave the rental of a car to them. Pleasant people, they keep their promises. In short, very satisfied.

The guide (Salvatore) was fantastic- very engaging and knowledgeable. The tour itself was good although a long drive. The tour met at 8am and we didn’t get back to the drop off point until 530pm. Note that you can swim at the lunch place.
