Agrigento and Valley of the Temples Day Trip from Palermo

Posted By : Victoria_K
This trip is particularly beneficial for individuals who are fluent in Italian.There could have been a better English language guide. I found Google to be a more reliable source of information than the guide during this trip. Feel like only paying for transportation.

A beautiful and well-kept park, suggestive for the temples and the surrounding landscape. To visit in the late afternoon, at sunset, in the cool of the evening. It is essential to do the guided tour to fully enjoy the place, our Coop Culture was really good! It is also accessible to prams and strollers.
It is a real blast from the past, it seems to be suspended in history between past and present.

Crammed 9 people in a van for a 1.5 hour drive! Agrigento was great but transport was not as good as expected

It was a nice trip, the car was comfortable and the driver is a 10/10. He was punctual, patient and try to show us as much as he can. He explained everything very well and even took us for a nice orange juice. I would recommend him.

Our driver, Emanuele, made this trip so special. He was kind, interesting and very knowledgeable. Our trip included a stop at a fantastic bar (restaurant) as well as The Turkish Steps. A truly unforgettable experience. The Valley of the Temples is a must see and we were very happy with the audioguide. I highly recommend this tour for a spectacular outing.

The park is jaw-dropping, it absolutely must be visited, in summer it is open until 11pm, I took advantage of the sunset, I will never forget it!

Amazing views the tour guide and our driver were amazing .
The driver was extremely professional and thoughtful. Emmanuel was one of the best drivers I ever had. He took us to Corleone as well.

We decided not to take a tour and chose to take the train from Palermo to Agrigento. A very pleasant 1 1/2 hour train ride and a very short taxi ride to the Valley of the Temples site… it was wonderful. To see these ancient buildings, to be so close to them was truly inspiring. It should not be missed if you manage to visit Sciliy…

The Valley of the Temples and the Scala dei Turchi are breathtakingly beautiful and although return train tickets from Palermo to Agrigento cost less than 22 euros, we opted for this package for practical reasons (the local transport connections are not particularly frequent). Only very experienced drivers should rent a car in Sicily.

The planned 2 hours for visiting the valley are certainly sufficient - we found it a bit of a shame that a visit to the archaeological museum was not planned (the agency told us that the museum was closed, which was not true) or that the Cretto di Burri could not be visited on the way back - possibly for an additional charge.

Unfortunately, the tour was advertised as a transfer from and to the hotel - this was not the case, we had to reach a meeting point. Fellow travelers had received a voucher for a tour including a guided tour, which in turn did not take place.

The excursion was good. They took us to the Valley of the Temples and the Turks' Staircase. Unfortunately, we hired a guide in Spanish and there was no guide, neither in Spanish nor in English. The explanatory signs of the temples are in three languages: Italian, English and French. (Not in Spanish). The driver Giovanni very competent and attentive.
