Overview
The Valley of the Temples is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO Heritage Site list in 1997.
The archaeological park and landscape of the Valley of the Temples is the largest archaeological site in the world with 1,300 hectares, but the term 'valley' is a misnomer, the site being located on a ridge outside the town of Agrigento.
Through this tour you will have the chance to admire the magnificent Doric temples of the sacred hill, as the Temple of Hera (Juno), the Temple of Concordia, Temple of Herakles (Hercules), the Temple of Zeus (Jupiter) and Sanctuary of chthonic deities.
Follow the steps and the words of your expert guide and you will also understand the culture that led to the construction of those majestic structures and you will get to know the characters that made Akragas 'the most beautiful city of mortals'.

The BEST tour guide in the Valley. We are frequent tour folks, never had a better more knowledgeable guide.
Published on Dec, 2024
Our tour guide was truly amazing. She knew the history, the architecture, the city and country history going back 9 layers. WOW. Just the right amount of information, personalization and personality. You don't get better than this.
Great Valley of the Temples Tour
Published on Nov, 2024
We had an amazing tour of the Valley of the Temples with Sarah as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the various artifacts as well as many cultural oddities of the times. She was very personable, spoke excellent English once we were used to her cute Italian accent, and kept us constantly entertained. Private tours are always the best and Sarah was well worth the $$. Highly recommended.

This was an amazing tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable even down to the plants. She answered all our questions about who cares for the property, who owns the property and who financially supports the care of the ruins. This is a don’t miss tour.
