We will begin our journey in the Valley of the Temples to help familiarize ourselves with the ancient urban layout of Agrigento; its main streets, fortifications, and sacred buildings dedicated to the Olympian Gods. Each temple presents its own unique and singular characteristics. 

In particular, your expert guide trained in archaeology or history, will discuss the importance of the Temple of Concord and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. The remains of the former, built around 450 B.C., including its inner structure and cellar, was the location of the divinity. The latter, whose construction began around 480 B.C., is perhaps the largest Doric temple ever built.

At the conclusion of your visit to the Archaeological Site, a taxi will return you and your guide to the Temple of Juno, where our walk began.

We meet at the ticket desk near the Temple of Juno. The route may vary depending on your guide. Your confirmation email will include the exact meeting point details along with a map. The tour ends back at the Temple of Juno.

When is the best time of the day to visit?
If you are traveling during the summer months, we recommend early morning or late afternoon. The heat and crowds can be heavy and the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking views in the golden light of sunset is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

We do cover quite a bit of ground on this tour and therefore we recommend contacting us with any mobility questions; we will be happy to advise if the itinerary will be appropriate for you or propose modifications where necessary. Please feel free to contact us.
