Marvel at the luxurious 4th-century villa, home to an influential Roman family. Take your time to examine its exquisite mosaic flooring. Continue to Agrigento for a guided tour of the magnificent Valley of Temples, built by the Greeks in the 5th century BC.

It was a long but thoroughly amazing day. Both Agrigento and the Villa Romana are the best of their type you will see anywhere in your travels, to see them both in a day was a real thrill. The guides were very personable, we learnt a lot on this trip. Thank you.

A fantastic day trip full of interesting history. The tour was well organized with experienced staff which makes the whole experience positive and enjoyable. We were lucky to have a small group, we all participated and got along making it a really great day out. Our tour guide Nicola was an intelligent and engaging young man who was so pleased to share his home town of Agrigento and bring to life it’s history. A guide is included in this tour at the Valley of the Temples who was also excellent, knowledgeable, highly experienced and able to engage us the whole time. Highly recommend for those who will appreciate the history and archeological sights, as well as the ease of travelling with a local tour group who do the planning for you.

The driver was punctual and an excellent driver. The guide did a great job. He was very pleasant, gave a very good resume of the history of Sicily as well as background on the sights we were going to see. He had a wonderful speaking voice and presented the information in an interesting and engaging manner. The guide for the valley of the temples was excellent as well. She was clearly very knowledgeable about the sights themselves as well as on the architectural and artistic aspects of the sights. I was very happy that I took this day trip.
