The ancient Greek ruins of Agrigento deserve a proper guided experience to fully understand their significance. Standing amid 2,500-year-old temples is remarkable, but having an expert explain the history makes all the difference.
I love the private Valley of Temples tour – it’s the smartest way to see these magnificent ruins. You get your own guide, comfortable transport, and even some local wine tasting. The Akragas walking tour is another excellent choice, especially if you want to focus purely on the archaeological treasures like the beautifully preserved Temple of Concordia.
These tours work for most fitness levels, with guides adjusting the pace as needed. For the best guided experiences in Agrigento, consider these top recommendations:
