The Turkish Steps and Temples
Our tour began with a beautiful soul our tour driver that happy face greeting me right on time. The drive to the Ancient temples filled with knowledge and passion as our tour driver created our journey. Arriving at the ancient temples filled which such awe they are amazing. Then onwards to a lovely lunch and again our tour driver making sure everyone was looked after. Finally onwards to the Turkish steps that blew me away breathtaking. Lots of wobbly rocks but it was worth it. My 5 star review goes to our tour driver the views were amazing, but his kindness and caring nature a pleasant experience well done

Great experience across multiple trips
We used Sicily Day By Day for a daytrip to the Valley of the Temples & Turkish Steps, as well as another daytrip to Etna and also for transfers to & from the airport. Consistently great experience across all 4 bookings, the people (Damiano for Valley of the Temples, Danilo for Etna and Stefano for the transfers) were great and the booking process was really smooth. Damiano and Danilo knew their stuff and went out of their way to make sure that you had a good time. I would definitely recommend them for any excursions in Siciliy!

Good tour to see sites but could be better
The sites were all great. Enjoyed the valley of temples and the steps. Great views and photo ops. Driver guide was fun and knowledgeable. Downside was the food. Lunch was at the museum fast food. Nothing fresh. I would have rather purchased my own food elsewhere. If u include a stop for lunch, it should be at a local restaurant with fresh food. In addition, we had to purchase our own tickets at the entrance of temples and wait in queue. Company should have prearranged our tickets with cost of tour. The guide could not go in with us so we were on our own for two hours. The lunch was a wasted hour. And the steps was very short. Maybe half hour at the site.

Beautiful your
The Valley of the Temples and the Turkish Steps are one of the most beautiful hotpots in Sicily. Antonio took care of every detail to make a great experience for all of us. Everything was perfect. Antonio even took the time to take as close as possible to my apartment to spare me a 5 minutes walk under the rain.

Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.
How much does Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania cost?
+
Prices start at $137 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Catania is not rushed.
Is Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania?
+
Around 9 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 Catania 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 Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania 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 Catania 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 Catania?
+
On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. 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 Catania?
+
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 Catania?
+
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 languages is Valley of the Temples and Turkish Steps tour from Catania offered in?
+
