You’ll tour Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples for two hours with an English or Italian guide, visiting Hera, Concordia, Herakles, and Zeus. The route runs downhill from the highest temple, with sea views, ancient fortifications, Byzantine tombs, and skip-the-line entry. Guides such as Montana Calogero may lead the visit.
“Fantastic tour! We were traveling 2 hours for this tour and had some hiccups along the way. We let the guide know about us possibly being late and he was extremely accommodating. He called and made arrangements to leave the entry tickets for us. He then let another guide who was giving a tour know that we could possibly join her tour. She kept an eye out for us and even came back to the entry gate to get us. They were all so kind, and welcoming. The tour itself was fantastic. They gave so much interesting history and answered lots of questions. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”

Spend about two hours with a private guide in Taormina, starting at the ancient Greek Theater and continuing through Piazza Duomo and Piazza IX Aprile. Expect clear history, quiet alleyways, local plant details, and striking views of Mount Etna and the Bay of Naxos.
“Our guide, Francesca, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of Taormina’s history and she even talked about local plants, which we really appreciated. Our only issue with the tour is the lack of information about parking. We had a rental car and it would help to provide guidance in the tour information on where to park. Otherwise, all was as described.”
Pick a coast, a volcano or a kitchen.
