Sunset visit Valley of the Temples Agrigento
Description
The tour lets visitors grasp the magical atmosphere that envelops the Valley as it moves from day to night. First, the still warm light of the setting sun that allows you to admire the temples in relation to the space around them and in their harmonious integration into the landscape. Then, the sunset, in front of the Temple of Concord, which changes the color of the sandstone by changing our aesthetic perception of the monument. Finally, the darkness of the night and the light of the headlights that takes away the surrounding environment and makes them emerge in all their absolute value of universal works, evidence of the ingenuity of our ancient ancestors.

The place is magnificent and even more so with the guide Calogero..the 5:30 PM time slot is highly recommended as it allows you to see both the sunset and the illuminated temples
We were at the Valley of the Temples on the evening of July 29. There were 14 of us in total, including 5 children from 10 to 7 years old. Simona, our guide, knew how to lead us with friendliness and professionalism, winning over even the little ones, who still in the following days referred to what we had seen and heard.
Very good tour by Ilaria. Interestingly told. You walk back to the car; this time is of course not included. Certainly more pleasant in terms of temperature towards the evening.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Führung mit Ilaria gefallen hat und dass ihre Erklärungen so interessant und angenehm waren. Der Rückweg zum Parkplatz gehört tatsächlich nicht zur Führungszeit, und am Abend sind die Temperaturen meist deutlich angenehmer.
beautiful experience! highly recommended
It was a magnificent experience. Our guide, Calogero, explained everything in detail and conveyed his passion for these wonderful places. The walk, at the edge of sunset, was pleasant and never tiring. I highly recommend taking a guided tour like this one. Even my children, aged 15 and 12, listened with utmost interest to every word from the guide. Thank you, Calogero!
Grazie di cuore per la sua splendida recensione! Siamo felici che la visita con Calogero sia stata così coinvolgente: la sua passione e la cura con cui racconta ogni dettaglio rendono davvero speciale l’esperienza nella Valle dei Templi. Sapere che anche i suoi figli hanno seguito il tour con interesse è per noi un grande piacere. Il tramonto è un momento magico e siamo lieti che la passeggiata sia stata piacevole e mai faticosa. Grazie per averci scelto e per il suo consiglio: speriamo di rivedervi presto in Sicilia.
You have to be careful because they sell you the experience as if it included the ticket and when you get there you have to buy it. In total we got 90€ both. Sounds like a shock to me. The only good thing guide Alessio
Gracias por su comentario. Sin embargo, es importante aclarar que en la descripción del tour se indica de forma muy clara que la entrada no está incluida. No es un coste oculto ni una información confusa: está especificado precisamente para que quienes tienen derecho a descuentos o gratuidades (profesores, periodistas, socios FAI, etc.) no se vean obligados a pagar más de lo necesario. Entendemos que no haber leído este detalle pueda generar una impresión equivocada del precio final, pero la información estaba disponible y accesible antes de la reserva. De hecho, ninguno de los demás participantes del mismo tour expresó confusión o malestar al respecto, lo que confirma que la comunicación es clara cuando se revisan los detalles. Aun así, tomamos nota de su comentario para seguir reforzando la transparencia. Nos alegra que haya apreciado el trabajo del guía Alessio.
A truly unique visit, which will surely remain in our hearts. Thanks also to our guide, very prepared, professional and deeply in love with his land: Alexio Nobile. We recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this lovely place.
Beautiful experience that I recommend to do at sunset. The site is gorgeous and Alessio, our guide was clear and engaging!
Unfortunately we didn't have much time and were only in the gardens Kolimbetra: Beautiful and highly recommended !! Lovingly maintained by a private initiative
That is not included the entrance ticket of the times and therefore I recommend reading the details well!!
Gentile Paola. Sinceramente, non capiamo a cosa si riferisce con le Sue parole. La recensione non riguarda l’esperienza del tour, ma un dettaglio già chiaramente indicato nella descrizione: il biglietto d’ingresso ai templi non è incluso. Questa scelta è fatta per trasparenza e rispetto verso i partecipanti: molti, come insegnanti, giornalisti o soci FAI, hanno diritto a riduzioni o ingressi gratuiti. Includere il biglietto nel prezzo significherebbe far pagare anche chi ne è esente. Invitiamo sempre a leggere attentamente le informazioni prima di prenotare, così da evitare malintesi e garantire un’esperienza consapevole.
