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.

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.

This tour is only want to sit on a bus for more than 6 hours and watch the countryside. Only 2 hours at Valley of Temples. No visit to museum which was indicated on our tour description. The little information we got was shared in 3 languages with the longest time spent on Italian. We had to buy our lunch at a rest stop and eat it while touring the temples. The additional photo stop was a waste of time and could have been better spent allowing us more time at the temples.

Salvo, our driver was knowledgeable and always kept us informed as to what was to happened going and coming. We had frequent breaks along the way for bathrooms and or snacks.
He communicated in all the different languages of those on board. He was so sweet, polite and well mannered.
The Temples were just amazing to see, this is one you don't want to miss.
