Summary:
Absolutely wonderful day trip! Claudio was punctual and friendly! On the drive, he gave us background information about Sicily’s culture and history. If you want to see more of Sicily but don’t want to drive or deal with crowds, book a tour with Claudio. Grazie!

Summary:
We began this trip with coffee and delicious Sicilian cookies, a good start! Then on the way to the Valle dei Templi. We walked around there about 2 hours. How beautiful and impressive! Claudio, our driver, organized a delicious lunch at a nice restaurant near Villa Romana del Casale, where we later admired the beautiful mosaics. On the return trip we saw the eruption of Mount Etna. Not part of the tour of course, but it was fantastic to see! Claudio is a great driver, is polite, kind and has a nice sense of humor. It was a very pleasant day! Thanks Claudio! Highly recommended!

Summary:
I took a trip with Giovanni from Ortigia to the Valley dei Templi (Agrigento), with a stop in Villa Romana del Casale and lunch in Piazza Armerina. Marvelous the Roman site in the Villa and the greek stuff in the Valley is outstanding. Giovanni was very nice, very patient -and that is very important in that kind of trips- and the restaurant he recommended (Trattoria La Ruota) has good home made pasta (I tried the “Norma”) and a nice open space. I strongly recommend him. We even made it to San Leone beach to see the sunset on time 😎 A whole day of history, good food and nice friendship with Giovanni.
