Top 10 Tours in Agrigento, Sicily
Though Agrigento is a modern city of about 60,000 on Sicily’s southwest coast, the majority of visitors come to experience the past just outside of town. At the Valley of the Temples (Valle dei Templi), citizens of the then-major Greek colony of Akragras began building seven Doric style holy monuments in the sixth century BC. The nearby Archaeological Museum helps put everything into context. Agrigento also has some fascinating sights in its old town, like the medieval Norman cathedral.

What a trip! Adam, our driver, was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The day went according to plan and we had marvellous visits to both the extensive complex of Villa Adriana and then taken up the hill to Villa d’Este and its magnificent water gardens. Thoroughly recommend this out of Rome trip although pre-trip communication from the local provider could be improved.

This time we have chosen to discover Palermo in a walking tour. That was our first time in Palermo and our guide, knowing this detail, made a point in explaining and making us discover the main landmarks of this beautiful Sicilian city. After that he suggested a wonderful local restaurant where we had lunch and it was indeed very good food reasonably priced and the restaurant was full of local people, which is, when you don't know a city, the best token for good quality. After lunch our guide walked us back to our cruise. Thank you very much Tour Travel for this great experience

私はシチリアに今回初めて来ました。2週間の語学留学、その前後1週間、シチリア各地を旅する、今途中です。PALERMOに着いて、直ぐ歩いて回り、初シチリアを堪能しました。翌朝バスでAgrigento日帰り観光をしました。驚嘆しました!! 古代遺跡群が広大な敷地に点在し、紀元前４－５世紀から1748年に司教グレゴリウスにより大聖堂として改築された神殿まであり、キリスト教徒の聖地として今も生きている様は、正に驚愕に値すると思います。 恐るべしです。800mをとぼとぼと歩いて戻り、国立考古学博物館を見学して、古いものを大切にする人々の心情を感じます。 I have no words against AGRIGENTO. Marvelous!! You should visit here!! How wonderfull Sicilian people are, they have chrisheded for long time.

We found Michele Gallo through the Rick Steves Sicily travel book. Michele was very easy to work with- contacted us quickly through email and whats app. He arranged for Carmelina to take us through the Valley of the Temples. It was well worth the money to have a guide. The site is large and its hard to understand the interaction between the various temples on your own. The site was closed the day we were supposed to go due to storm damage. Michele notified us the night before, as soon as he learned of the closure. He was able to make arrangements for another day so we did not miss this stunning site. Excellent customer service!

We were not sure if we would manage it, but we practiced on electric scooters in our city and it was ok. We even managed to drive with our child standing in front of the driving person. The ground in Valle dei Templi is rough though, so the ride is not very smooth. Once we had to turn into a very narrow passage, which was a bit too difficult. If you are afraid, you may turn off the scooter for a while in such places and push it instead of riding it. Ask the guide about this option. The guide told us interesting stories about the site, which made our visit much more interesting. Somehow we did not go to see the goats at the end, which was supposed to be included in the tour. We forgot about it while we were there and than we were sorry about it (especially our child).

Fulvio was truly knowledgeable, hospitable, funny and generous. He made us feel welcomed in his home. A true professional. Him and his assistants helped us successfully prepare an amazing for course meal! He also set the atmosphere with music. The shopping experience was pretty cool too. You will not be disappointed if you take this course. Absolutely my favourite experience in Palermo.
