Valle dei Templi is a must see!

Bettyann_C, Nov 2023

I had a great time on the tour. Visiting the Vlle dei Templi with a guide is a must or else you don't really know what you are looking at except you know it's the ruins of a temple. Anna provided the history and the why. Also, the weather in Sicily in November is so much better than during the summer. My driver Mimmo was great! So professional, knowledgeable, and a good driver (especially in Palermo traffic). Pick-up and drop-off were great. Mimmo's restaurant recommendation was wonderful! It was too bad the Scala dei Turchi was closed off due to possible landslides, but the views were magnificant! We drove to 2 different spots to get some great views. Got on to the beach and walked as close as I could get. Overall, well worth the time and money spent. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very well done

Al_B, Nov 2023

The Turkish steps were amazing. Highly recommend. Great trip. Valley of the temples must see sight in Sicily.

Worth every penny

Jamie_B, Oct 2023

We chose the option to have a private driver and guide and we’re not disappointed. Mimmo our driver was considerate and knowledgeable. Anna our guide at the Valley of Temples was excellent and made the tour very worthwhile. Lunch was delicious. The Turkish steps were gorgeous and a beautiful way to end the day.

Great experience

English speaking driver need it

AnaMaria_A, Jun 2023

We required an English speaking guide spoke broken. English really didn’t understand them. He was a wonderful driver.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Customer, we are sorry if your driver did not meet your expectation. The driver is not a guide, and can usually only give you directions with reference to what you can visit or where to eat during the tour. If you want a certified guide to the Valley of the Temples, you can opt to purchase the tour with driver and guide. Thank you for choosing our experience and thank you for appreciating his way of driving. Cordially,

Great tour!

Mimmo was an excellent driver for this great tour

Marianne_C, May 2023

Mimmo was our driver and was extremely friendly and engaging. He told us interesting facts and pointed out important spots along the way. He recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch and was extremely polite. I would definitely recommend him and this tour

Fantastic tour to Agrigento from Palermo

Tony_C, Oct 2022

We took the Agrigento Valley of the Temples one-day private tour. Our driver Mimmo was excellent and arrived promptly to pick up our party. The van was very comfortable for our 5-person group. He provided detailed commentary as we drove from Palermo to Agrigento. We had two hours to explore the Valley of the Temples followed by lunch at an excellent seafood restaurant in San Leone and then the drive back to Palermo. It made for a very rewarding and full day.

A Great Day

Sean_F, Aug 2022

This is the first time we've ever had a private tour. First, communication with the company was great. Timely responses and information that was discussed was passed along to our driver. Mimmo was our driver for the day and he was fantastic. We always felt safe. He was very accommodating to what we were looking for in the day and when we said we would be meeting up, he was there. Normally the lunch stop is at a restaurant that specializes in seafood, which is probably great for most people. However, our daughter is allergic to fish and Mimmo drove around to find us a place he thought would work and then came in with us to ensure it did. All of the stops of the tour are amazing in their own way. It's a long way to go when you're doing a round trip but the car was great and we had a lot of good conversation with Mimmo as well. I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Sean, we are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review. Many greetings, Alexandra

Great day - Great Driver!!

Luv2ski1121, Jun 2022

Was a great day with a great driver we enjoyed it so much! Valley of the temples was terrific and scala dei Turchi is a must see!!

Historic and relaxing

Jason_B, Jun 2022

Excellent and comfy trip. Our driver Franco was very good, patient and very chatty (with my partner she spoke Italian) We didn’t take swimming stuff - we regret this because the Turkish steps are on an incredible beach.

Great trip

Matthew_S, May 2022

Great way to see the valley of the temples and Turkish steps. No wifi on board the van like advertised but still fantastic.
