Visit to Valley of Temples
My husband and I very much enjoyed our day at the Valley of Temples with a delicious lunch in a nearby seaside resort town at a restaurant recommended by our guide, Domenico. Domenico is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and pointed our places of interest during our 2-hour drive from Polermo to Agrigento. He explained the history of the Greek settlement in the area. His English is excellent and easily understood. HIghly recommended.
Response from the operator: Pleased about your comments of Mimmo Sicily Tours.

This was an interesting...
This was an interesting site and our tour guide, Domenico, was wonderful -- very knowledgeable. However I enjoyed Segesta more and it was much less crowded.
Response from the operator: Thank for your appreciation of our service.

Unforgettable day with Gigi Montalbano
We spent an unforgettable day with our guide Gigi Montalbano. A well of knowledge of the history of this enchanting place. A dive into the thousand-year history that few nations like Italy can boast. Thank you Gigi, because with your patience, passion and knowledge you made us live a unique experience. If we ever return to Agrigento we will contact you to relive other emotions like those of today.

A must
An amazing place, absolutely wonderful to wander around among all these amazing, well-preserved ancient remains. Very beautiful! It is well worth the time it takes to drive there. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to eat lunch or have a coffee outside the entrance, only in the area itself. When we discovered this, it was a bit far to go back.

Can't Get Any Better Than Excellent
I have never written a review before and always preferred to keep my opinions private. Well this rule has now been broken. To be brief, my wife and I took a 14 day vacation to Sicily. We hired Mimmo to drive us around Sicily touring 4 of the major cities we chose. Hiring Mimmo was the best decision we made from years of traveling. We received a lot more than an excellent driver. We found Mimmo to be the nicest, professional and historically knowledgable person you can imagine. He was the "icing on the cake" from an amazing visit to Sicily. Grazie Amico!
Response from the operator: Our team of Driver Guides is always striving to give each client a great experience and the best service. Thank you for the feedback.

AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $742 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.
Is AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Palermo?
+
On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Palermo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Palermo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bottled water; Local guide/driver; Exclusive Private tour; and Private Transport by Premium Mercedes. Not included: Lunch; Gratuities; and Entrance Fees In General. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 112 listed pickup locations in and around Palermo. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is AGRIGENTO - VALLEY OF TEMPLES Private Tour with Guide Driver offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
