Fantastic driver and tour.
Kate_B, Apr 2024
We were so grateful to have Dario as our driver to take us to Agrigento and explain a few things about Palermo on the way. He wasn’t overly chatty but let us enjoy the ride and answered all our questions. We loved his music selection too.
Ok experience
Karla_F, Dec 2023
The driver was nice but on his phone a lot. Did a good job driving there and back but no additional information and we had to make a stop for him to buy fruit.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi!, we are very sorry for the extra private stop of the driver and we will investigate on this case for sure. With regards the additional information , as clarified in the product description, there are not a guide during the tour. Thanks a lot for having chosen our company. Best Rgds
Great adventure and fun for a group or couple

We arranged for the Agrigento trip months beforehand, but could have arranged just a few days prior, with great ease. The day before the trip, we received a notification and contact information and just as promised our driver, Marco, arrived 15 mins prior ready for us at pick-up time. Marco provided a clean, A/C cooled, comfortable van for up to 8 passengers and drove us safely from our rental home in Santa Flavia (Palermo area) to Agrigento and Scala di Turcas. Marco answered all of our questions and provided recommendations for restaurants in between the two excursions. At the Valley of the Temples, I purchased our entrance tickets on-line, but easily could have purchased them on-site with a few minute wait. Online tickets got us right in. It was hot, so having water along the way is key. Once the tour of the Valley was over (1.5-2 hours in length...that is about how long it takes to fully explore the valley), Marco picked us up promptly and drove us to lunch. At Scala di Turcas, we were pointed in the right direction and were glad to have this part of the trip added. Really an incredible sight!! Great adventure and photos. Afterwards, we met up with Marco for our journey home. To and from Palermo area, it took us 2 hours. The ride home gave us time for a much needed nap. Marco made us feel safe. After the trip, Marco provided us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations for Palermo. Well worth it!! Thanks!
Great driver (apologies,...

Great driver (apologies, but its been a long time and I have forgotten the name), great vehicle and excellent tour. I recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to travel in comfort and not care about driving and/or parking.
Sightseeing Greek Ruins & Scenic Beaches
Erin_M, Jun 2023
Dario, our tour guide was fantastic! He drove us to Agrigento to see Greek ruins, took us to his favorite beach restaurant and showed us white sandy beach. Along the drive, he played favorite music and explained all sites in English. We really enjoyed our day with him😎👏
Beautiful Ancient Greek Ruins and Natural wonders.
William_M, May 2023
Mimmo was a great driver, guide and an engaging host. Agrigento is not to be missed. Takes you back to the time of Homer (600) BC. Mimmo took us to an unforgettable seafood restaurant for lunch. Then it was on to the Turkish steps for some fresh sea air and a view of an impressive natural wonder.
Agrigento tour
K_C, Apr 2023
The tour of as perfect other than the fact that there was no English guide to take us through the Temple complex. For the price charged a guide should have been there.
Great day, wonderful UNESCO site
vayaazul, Mar 2023
We were piked up promptly at our hotel by our driver, Marco. The tour was extremely interesting. We hired a guide (I did not read the fine print). Her name was Ana, she was born in Greece, but has lived in Sicily for 25 years. Her knowledge of history, geography, and language was amazing. I would recommend her highly. The tour of Agrigento lasted almost two hours. Prepare to walk a lot. I wish the price included the guide. The next stop was the Turkish Steps. There was only one place to get a quick sandwich and a drink. The Turkish steps were impressive, but the long walk down stairs (and even longer back up) was difficult. All in all, we were lucky to have perfect weather and it was a great day!
Valley of the temples and Turkish steps day trip
Jeffrey_B, Jan 2023
Marco was an excellent driver and made sure we were comfortable. The valley of the temples and Turkish stairs are well worth the trip.
Beautiful drive to Valley...
Karyn_F, Oct 2022
Beautiful drive to Valley of the Temples. Fascinating sites. Our driver, Marco, was a delight and gave us historical facts about Sicily and Palermo in general.
Terrific, but very expensive as no admissions included on “tour” … more just a private driver.
Stathy_D, Sep 2022
Valley of the Temples a must see - just beautiful! Gino was the best driver … terrific! The only reason I did not give a 5 was I would have thought for a 550Euro private transport experience, admission to sites would have been included. It was not. Just the driver. But Gino was excellent.
Above and beyond
Donna_C, Aug 2019
Our driver, Giovanni, made this trip so enjoyable! He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable car, gave us water, and provided stories, tips, and history throughout the drive, and even after the trip. Well worth the price. Adequate time for seeing top destinations. Highly recommend- ask for Giovanni!
