This trip was a fantastic opportunity to experience the Greek temples and truely amazing mozaics at the Roman villa.
Our driver Manuel was a good safe driver and helped us where he could.
Unfortunately we travelled in a very old and uncomfortable van which on a long trip was disappointing.
The description was deceptive as we thought lunch was included which it is not.
Also for a long day with 2 locations 1 bottle of water was a bit mean.
So we enjoyed seeing the sights but not sure if it is good value from Catania.

I called the office the day before the trip and told them I was a nervous passenger and to tell the driver. Gabriel was our guide and was extremely flustered due to traffic and not being able to park near our hotel. When we got to his car, which we had thought was supposed to be a luxury SUV, it turned out to be a small SUV, well at least it had air-conditioning. Gabriel navigated his way through the morning traffic with ease. Once on the highway he drove at high speeds to which I asked him to slow down, this was the 2nd time I told him I was a nervous passenger. As per other reviews I was under the misconception that this was going to be a guided tour. It was transport to the locations and then we were left to our own devices at each site. There was no history tour or information about the places visited. I did ask a question but was told he was concentrating on driving and the question was never answered. Lunch was not as mentioned in the booking. We presumed he would have checked with the resturant if they were open before we arrived. Nope, they were closed so he ushered us to a corner cafe with food sitting in a baymare. The best part of the day was the sites and what we saw. Gabriel tried to made it an acceptable day but we would not do it again. BTW, the tour company needs to update the cost of entry, Agrigento was 15 euro (not 10) and mosiacs was 12 euro

Great trip, well worth it! The ruins and villa are a must see. Manuel was great, very professional and accommodating. He stopped for a break while driving to the ruins, and picked a nice place for lunch after the ruins. Also took us to a beautiful panoramic spot for a photo at the end of the day. Well worth it!

We were under the impression that a Private Tour was a guided tour. It is a private car and driver. Our driver Gabriel was prompt, friendly and able to converse in English, and the drive to and from Agrigento was long but pleasant. We toured both sites ourselves, but if a guided tour is desired you need to book a different tour. Highly recommend visiting both places.

This was a great trip and Manuel was a super guide. My grand daughter and I were also in search of our ancestory and he made the extra effort to take us to the town hall in the town they were from and communicated our info to the staff there. They were very helpful, but unfortunately there was no trace of them, but he was relentless in trying to help us. I will be forever grateful for his efforts. Such a kind young man. The sights we saw were amazing and the lunch choice he made was perfect. Just incredible. Thank you Manuel (probably spelled wrong). Loved the trip!!!

Manuel was a great driver. He was on time for the pick up and drop off. He gave us plenty of time to see the sights on our own. He was very personable and attentive to our needs. It was like having a private chauffeur.

Gabriele met me at the agreed time in front of my hotel, he was very kind and accommodating. The drive to both locations was also comfortable. I definitely recommend it.

Manuel and his tour company, The Best of Sicily, are a must for any trip in Sicily. Manuel is an incredibly accomplished tour guide. He is prompt, even early, for the pick up to start the day. He is well versed in ways to communicate with his customers to make sure the entire tour experience is enjoyable, funfilled and that you do experience "the best of Sicily." Manuel's company name says it all. We thoroughly enjoyed the scheduled itinerary and even enjoyed more his recommendation for a lunch spot. When Manuel found out my travel partner's family had come from Enna, he offered to take us to the hilltop village, even though it extended our tour. Such kindness can't be repaid. We talked about our next day plans and Manuel offered to create another private tour to a buffalo mozzarella dairy, Ragusa Ibla and Modica. We without reservation accepted his offer and this second day of Manuel's superior tour experience even surpassed our expectations. The timing was impeccable, the locations to visit and experience "the best of Sicily" were truly outstanding. Having Manuel as our tour guide for the last 2 days of our 39 day trip put a beautiful cherry right on top of our already memorable experiences. We would without hesitation book any tour that The Best of Sicily is offering to lead. You, too, will be glad you did.
