Itinerary
- 1Founded as a Greek colony in the 6th century BC, Agrigento became one of the leading cities in the Mediterranean world. His supremacy and pride are demonstrated by the remains of the magnificent Doric temples that dominated the ancient town, much of which still lies under today's fields and orchards. The archaeological area of Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples, the Southern coast of Sicily and the vast territory of the ancient polis, the cliff of the Acropolis of the ancient city, as well as the sacred hill on which stand the main Doric temples and up to the extramural necropolis. The Valley of the Temples, UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, is certainly the most important testimony of the ancient, classical culture of Sicily. It brings together the temples of gods goddesses as well as the area of the necropolis and sanctuaries outside the walls. The Temple of Castor and Pollux (Dioscuri), the legendary twin brothers, nowadays has only four columns left and has become the symbol of Agrigento, the Temple of Olympian Zeus (Jupiter) built to thank Zeus on the occasion of the Agrigentines' victory over the Carthaginians, in 480 BC, the Temple of Concordia, the Temple of Heracles (Hercules), the Temple of Aesculapius, the Temple of Volcano and the Tomb of Theron and, of course, the Archeological Museum.

Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- MarilynC23300 contributionsUnforgettable experienceI requested the tickets in July for the New Year mass at The Vatican. Around the second week of December, I received a confirmation email from The Vatican office with instructions on how to retrieve our tickets at the Vatican. We arrived around 2:30pm on New Year eve, there was a long line already, Mass was scheduled to start at 5pm. At 3pm they started to let us in, the process was a bit chaotic. Mass started at 5pm, it lasted about an hour. It was simply beautiful. The choir was angelical. At the end of the mass, the Pope took the time to randomly give blessings, sign books, and give chocolates to some children, my child included. It was a very special moment for our entire family.Written January 15, 2025

Francesco was great to work with, answering questions beforehand and arranging everything to keep it hassle free for us. The tour company provided private transport for our family and wheelchair assistance for our mother. When our group had to split up, Francesco maintained communications throughout and even sent pictures so we knew where the others were located. Wonderful customer service. Our seats were incredible! The pope went right in front of us. Highly recommendWritten November 14, 2024

The company was so easy to work with, the communication was great and the service they provided was convenient. They do everything for you! I would definitely do it again with them. If you have little kids, bring something to entertain them while they wait but the rest was a magnificent experience. Great job they did with me and my family.Written October 19, 2024
- teresacU7691PF0 contributionsUnforgettable and like nothing elseWhen we did this tour we went to the San Sebastiano Catacombs by request - we also saw the incredible Quo Vadis church and the footprints of Jesus in the San Sebastiano church. The catacombs are a place like no other. We learned a lot during this tour. We also enjoyed learning about the Ancient Appian Way. Thank you to Sabrina, our tour guide, who went out of her way to make this happen for us at the last minute!Written October 16, 2024
- teresacU7691PF0 contributionsA truly holy and beautiful experienceThis tour was a truly unique, touching and unforgettable experience! We are so incredibly fortunate to have been able to see the places where St Rita lived her life. We learned so much that we did not know and feel a true closeness to St Rita. Thank you to our wonderful guides Francesco and Sabrina.Written October 16, 2024
- teresacU7691PF0 contributionsTruly special holy sitesThis was a really special tour. We learned so much about the first Eucharistic miracle and the Holy Face of Jesus. These holy sites are not to be missed. The surroundings were beautiful and there was incredible artwork in the churches. I really got the most out of seeing the museums also which helped me to really understand what I was looking at, as they had incredible descriptions of things I never heard about before. Our guide, Francesco, was also really wonderful. On top of everything, he also ensured we were well fed with the most delicious specialties of the area! Thank you Francesco for helping us to feel right at home.Written October 16, 2024

- ariastricindy0 contributionsPerfect way to see Rome!!That was the way to see Rome!! Our own private driver and tour guides. No lines no waiting. We had them all to ourselves and the experience was amazing. We saw so much with ease. The guides were warm, attentive, accommodating! We don't speak Italian so there was some difficulty understanding, at times, with our jet lagged brains or I would have given it a 5 star.Written September 22, 2024
- 611emanuell0 contributionsGreat experience, and must doThe tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew all of the history. He took us on a trip through time and explained all of the events relating to the Holy House. He explained the creativity behind the aestetics of the Holy House. I would definitely do it again. If you are staying in Loreto this company does tours as well.Written September 7, 2024
- 943reenab0 contributionsPadre PioAs a devotee, I hope people can differentiate tourist spot from sacred places like this one. San Giovanni Rotondo is Far from cities but reachable with public transportation. A beautiful place but we were there for 4-5hrs. Overall, its nice to add in your journey to see the pilgrims of Padre Pio.Written August 6, 2024
