Well worth it to get more info out of the site. - Excellent tour with guide to highlight much of the story of the area that you may not get by just reading the few placards around the site. Definitely value added to do it this way. Uses an earpiece headphone so that you can always clearly hear the guide's voice.

Nice walking tour for a chill day in Valley of the Temples - Mario has made the experience really interesting. He has provided good information about the history of the place and Sicily in general. Despite the bad weather, he made good arrangements to ensure we were well taken care of. I really like the walking tour and find it worth a visit.

Ruins are really cool.... - Ruins are really cool. Tour guide was informative and engaged. Walking was challenging at times and sites are fairly spread out from each other and ground is uneven

Don't Miss Valley of the Temples - If I could give our guide a 10 I would. If you're in Sicily, you don't want to miss The Valley of the Temples. Seeing 7 Greek/Roman temple ruins in one spot. Magnificent. Our guide was wonderful and very good about explaining everything we saw. I don't think it would be as enjoyable without the tour guide.

A very good historical... - A very good historical tour of the temples and the surroundings and the town of Agrigento. Of course the only drawback was the heat. But the tour operator can’t do much about that. It would’ve been good to have a little stop in the middle of the tour for everyone to get water or go to a café and get some drink and refreshment before continuing on.

Competent and interesting tour - Guided tour was very informative and contained all the major sights. Took longer than intended, which was no disadvantage. The disadvantage was that, contrary to the invitation to tender, there was no purely English-language tour, but Italian and English in sentences in succession, which was changed after complaints from participants, however, by explaining the contents completely first in one language and then in the other.

English Speaker’s Tour of Valley of the Temples - This tour was very interesting. It would have been better if our guide had a microphone and we had an audio headset. I feel that I missed some of the interesting information he had to share about this amazing place.

Walking tour of the Valley of Temples - Sara was a knowledgeable guide. She answered all my questions and seemed to really know her stuff. It would have been helpful to know the guide’s name ahead of time to facilitate meeting up. The site itself was a stunning example of antiquity with beautiful views from up high to the sea.

Bad tour do not waste your money - This tour was not good. First, it was advertised as in English, but when we got to the tour we found out it was in English AND Italian, meaning it took twice as long as it should have based on how it was advertised. Second, nothing against the guide but her English had an extremely strong accent and was very difficult to understand. I speak Spanish and Portuguese so I could make most of it out, but my partner who speaks only English could not understand much. this was NOT a good tour in English for these reasons. Also, the guide seemed to tell us little that we couldn’t have read on the signs. Finally, it happened to be the day of the month in which there was FREE entry for all the public but we received no discount for this. I could have saved $40 and a lot of time if I had gone myself and not bothered with the tour.
