Full description

Come to Agrigento and discover one of Sicily's most famous historical attractions, for its well-preserved Doric temples dedicated to Greek divinities, the famous Valley of the Temples. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this Archaeological Park is located on a plateau close to the Strait of Sicily. 

Follow your guide to explore this site where time seems to stand still, preserving an unprecedented historical charm. Start the tour from the temple of Hera, continuing on the sacred way to the remains of the surrounding wall.

Inside the Valley, see 12 temples as well as some fortifications, the Lower and Upper Agora, an Olympian, and a Bouleuterion. Source of inspiration for poets, philosophers, and painters, it is one of the most emblematic parks in Sicily.

Admire Doric temples from the Hellenic period, that correspond to the ancient Akragas, the original monumental nucleus of the city of Agrigento. Move onward to the Temple of Concord, the remains of the early Christian Necropolis, the Temple of Heracles, and the remains of the Temple of Zeus.

The guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and could answer al your questions and more. Unfortunately, we didn't have a skip the line and the tour was in English and Italian, which resulted in the tour taking twice as long. Overall, a very recommendable experience!

I put your directions into my vehicle Sat Nav and it took me to the opposite entrance to where iI needed to be. So I had to take a shuttle Taxi to get to the correct entrance. As the tour finished at the point where I had parked it wasn’t a major problem

Liz Garcia Millan was our tour guide; we thought she was probably one of the very best guides we’ve ever had. She was able to keep both Italians and English-speaking guests entertained, gave very good, clear explanations of the ruins, which included a notebook with pictures that helped make them clear. She handed out carob seeds from one of the trees for us to sample. Those of us who didn’t care much for them were instructed to feed the goats with them. She was very funny and gave us a tremendous amount of information while making it extremely interesting. this guided tour was less expensive than many we could have chosen, but I feel like it could not have been better no matter how much we had spent on it. This visit to the ruins at Agrigento was one of the highlights of our trip. We recommend that you park at the bottom of the ruins, take a taxi for three euros a person to the top, where you will meet your guide, and then after the tour, you are practically back at your car.
