We arranged for the Agrigento trip months beforehand, but could have arranged just a few days prior, with great ease. The day before the trip, we received a notification and contact information and just as promised our driver, Marco, arrived 15 mins prior ready for us at pick-up time. Marco provided a clean, A/C cooled, comfortable van for up to 8 passengers and drove us safely from our rental home in Santa Flavia (Palermo area) to Agrigento and Scala di Turcas. Marco answered all of our questions and provided recommendations for restaurants in between the two excursions. At the Valley of the Temples, I purchased our entrance tickets on-line, but easily could have purchased them on-site with a few minute wait. Online tickets got us right in. It was hot, so having water along the way is key. Once the tour of the Valley was over (1.5-2 hours in length...that is about how long it takes to fully explore the valley), Marco picked us up promptly and drove us to lunch. At Scala di Turcas, we were pointed in the right direction and were glad to have this part of the trip added. Really an incredible sight!! Great adventure and photos. Afterwards, we met up with Marco for our journey home. To and from Palermo area, it took us 2 hours. The ride home gave us time for a much needed nap. Marco made us feel safe. After the trip, Marco provided us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations for Palermo. Well worth it!! Thanks!
