The tour was good. The driver was very helpful but he gave absolutely no information about the site. Why don't you provide some information beforehand?

The drive from Palermo to Agrigento was absolutely beautiful! The countryside was gorgeous with stunning views full of greenery and wildflowers. Our driver was so full of knowledge of the history of Sicily and even sang to us along the way. Well worth the price we paid.

This day was absolutely beautiful, we did not know what to expect. I will restate the instructions. Please wear a hat. I did get extra sun on my head. It does take about two hours, but the walk is easy slightly downhill from the start to finish. The temples were beautiful. The photo opportunities were incredible.. The guide suggested we get a sandwich on the way at the first stop because there was no food opportunities and that is a really good idea.. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone. But be aware there is a lot of walking. Also, we’re comfortable shoes.
