General Information
Your Agrigento tour begins when your personal English speaking driver greets you at your hotel. After a leisurely drive (2.5 hours from Taormina) through the beautiful landscape of the Sicilian countryside, you’ll start the walking tour of the Valley of the Temples with a licensed tour guide. This is an easy to moderate walking tour that lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
Our Tour Guides will give a description of the history of ancient Agrigento in a clear and precise way, making your trip more meaningful and memorable. What sets them apart is the passion they have for their island and its rich history.
You will have time to sit and enjoy a delicious lunch (at your own expense) at one of the family run restaurants suggested by our driving guide. After lunch we will head back to your place of stay.
Historical informations
Founded by the Greeks in the 6th century B.C., its supremacy and pride are demonstrated by the remains of the magnificent Doric Temples, much of which still lies intact under today’s fields and orchards.
The most impressive remains are those of the temples built during the reign of Thero and after to Herakles, Olympian Zeus, Hera Lacinia, Vulcan and Concordia
Partially restored, these magnificent temples constitute some of the largest and best-preserved ancient Greek buildings outside of Greece itself and are listed as a World Heritage Site.
