Friendly funny and educative tour. - Excellent tour with a very funny and knowledgable guide. The tour covered the most important sites in some detail along with other information related to the Greek mythology and customs.it brought the place to life. Take water as it gets very hot. There is an ice cream and snack bar about half way around which sells water as well. Highly recommend the tour, it added a great deal to the day out.

All you needed to know. - We were a group of approx. 30 people and our guide Enza gave us the tour in Italian and English. We learned a lot about the history of ancient Agrigento and of course about the four most significant Temples. The tour took a little over two hours. Wear comfortable shoes and sun protection. There is a good amount of walking involved. But if you are interested in the history of ancient Sicily the tour is a must. The dual language information made it a little longer, but gave you time to take pictures during the Italian language information. The tour was well organized, with audio guides, and a very well informed guide. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour! - Informative two hours tour. Lots of walking. Information delivered in English than in Italian. You are free to walk ahead and take photos when your language was not being spoken. Well paced.

Covers the main information - This tour covers the basics of the sites and their history. Finding meeting place is challenging-one has to go to top f the park by taxi after parking at the bottom. Tour guide was good enough.

Find a more organized tour - Guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the temples. Wouldn’t recommend because logistics. Too much time standing at the stops - should have whispers so that she could talk as we walked. Tour should have had us meet after security as line to go through was long. She was late to meeting point and tour looked like it was going to take 3 hours instead of advertised 2. We keft after 2 hours.

Be aware - Viator uses local guides and this one was disappointing. I booked the tour months ago and 4 days before my arrival a local guide text me and said the day I reserved already was not available and I needed to move it a day later or cancel. I asked if he could cancel it for me and he said I would have to. Which shows Viator that I cancelled and not the local guide cancelled on. Me. I had to reschedule to another date. When we showed up the following day the local guide put two groups together. Instead of the English tour I paid for the other group was in Italian. The 1 guide talked in English for ten minutes the. Told us to take picture and started speaking Italian. Both groups seemed to be frustrated. This extended our tour and so much standing around waiting for the guide to finish with the other group. I have used the Tour Guys Many Times and never had a bad experience.

Don’t waste money on Tour of Temples. - I booked the tour and 4 tickets weeks before we arrived. we stayed at a B&B only 15 minutes away. However, when we arrived at 10:30 there was no signage for parking and we were advised by local person. to park down at admissions. Admissions told uc to go back uphill and turn at snack bar. we finally found d paid parking. The Guide did not leave the tickets so we had to wait in line to pay for them a second time. The reason we bought the tour was to skip the line. Also map and audio guide is all that is needed. Don’t waste your money on this tour.
