Palermo: Agrigento & Valley of the Temples Day Tour

Like: Great tour guide. Dislike: For 2 people it was $100 plus entry fee- 17 euros x2 = 34. The guide was 30 euros x 2=60. So total extra fees were 94 euros. I understand there were extra fees but not indicated how much. They should add the entry fee to the cost of the tour- 17 euros per person. In all we spent $350- $175 per person. If I knew this I wouldn't have chosen the tour. We basically paid for a bus ride. Also we didn't stop for a coffee/breakfast. Suppose to arrive between 1 1/2 to 2 hours ar destination- took us 4-with a later explanation when we were wondering why so long. At noon we had our first water break for 10 minutes. Left at 1:3] pm. Then off to the Scala dei Turchi. 3 minute stop - no explanation. We were all dehydrated, hungry and hot. A lady convinced the chaperone to stop at a gas station for a quick lunch and water. Thank goodness. What a draining g day. Tour guide was great. Bus company - terrible. Buy beware- this is only a bus ride not a tour .

Notre guide était très sympathique, il nous a entretenu durant tout le parcours. Les explications du parcours dans la Vallée des Temples pour revenir au stationnement devrait être améliorées; l’accès à l’escalier qui descend vers le stationnement est un peu masqué. Le guide a été parfait pour guider des participants égarés via le téléphone.

Tour piacevole alla scoperta della Valle dei Templi. Mario, il nostro autista, ci ha intrattenuto per tutto il viaggio! Gentilezza e simpatia all’ordine del giorno. Peccato per la sosta alla scala dei turchi, avrei preferito vederla fisicamente piuttosto che da un’altura. Come specificato dal tour, l’ingresso alla Valle dei Templi ha un costo di 17 euro. In caso abbiate bisogno di una guida, lo stesso tour operator ve ne consiglierà una (30 euro). Due ore sono state sufficienti per vedere i monumenti principali.

This was just a minivan Fleet to the Valley of the temples - the entrance was not included nor was the guide. The air conditioning in the minivans barely worked if it was working at all, the driver was not that helpful, and the guide at the Valley of the temples repeated information constantly and was overall not that good. I'd really only book this if you just want the transport to the valley of temples, and expect nothing else

Feels quite expensive for ultimately just being driven to and from the valley of the temples. We had to sit around for some people who got lost for nearly an additional hour. Everyone was pleasant but the tour guide on the bus could share some information or make it more interesting so it feels like a trip and not just an expensive bus ride!
