Car and driver were excellent. Driver spoke excellent English, and let us determine the itinerary and was on time for all pickups. No on site guide is needed since english labels at sites were great and all info on line.

Martino, my driver, was amazing!! We had great conversations (in Italian) and got to learn a lot about Sicily, Sicilian culture, antiquities, and life in Sicily. I also learned several new Italian as well as Sicilian words! Needless to say, the Valei dei Templi and the Villa Casale are incredible sites to visit- I grew up in Greece and even though I have been to many archaeological sites in Greece (and in Italy), these places are unique. The setting is incredible and the temple of Concord is one of the best preserved Greek temples from antiquity. Thank you Martino, mille grazie! Thank you Sicily!

We could not ask for a better host than Riccardo. He met us on time and drove us to each location. He was full of history, but also helped us with food tips, places to visit, and willing to answer at length any questions that we had. He gave us plenty of time to explore each site and was always available for logistics. You really can't get lost with Riccardo. He explains drop off points and pick up areas perfectly. We would highly recommend this adventure. But ask for Riccardo if you want the fullest experience!!

Riccardo was a fantastic driver and very good conversationalist! I had enough time at each location to explore, plus had a delicious lunch at a local spot.

We booked this tour having no idea of the distances we would travel literally and in time so to speak considering we ended up visiting two incredible ancient monuments. Martino our excellent driver was informative and friendly. As the Villa Romana Casale is in the middle of Sicily it was a long drive so Martino explained things along the way and answered questions when we asked about the towns on the top of hills. It was the first Sunday of the month so entry was free to both the Roman Villa and the Temples at Agrigento. In one way that was a bonus but in another it meant big crowds! Still we arrived at the Villa Romana Del Casale about mid morning and it is vast. You really could spend a day here admiring the incredible villa and the mosaics. Its well planned as its designed to take you up on an elevated walk way so that you can admire the mosaics from above. The place is so extensive and well preserved that its sets your mind to wondering about the kind of people that lived here and the lives they led. It certainly looks luxurious even after all this time. We had ample time to get a drink and to buy souvenirs before we drove on to Agrigento. As we drove along the road below the cliff side setting of the temples you could already see them and they looked amazing against the clear blue sky in the Sicilian sun. Make sure you get let off at the top of the hill and picked up at the bottom as Martino did for us as its a very very long walk. I walk with a stick and found it a bit tough. It would have helped if they had more seating. But still to stand admiring the beautiful Greek Temples and to see the Mediterranean behind them was something special. Again we had ample time to explore and Martino was at the bottom of the hill to take us back to our hotel in Taormina. It was a very full day but incredibly enjoyable and both sites are well worth seeing. Especially the Roman Villa it was just extraordinary.
