Description

Discover one of Sicily's most important UNESCO World Heritage sites on this thoughtfully curated private experience from Sciacca, with a relaxed guided visit of the Valley of the Temples and private hotel pickup in a premium sedan.

The tour departs from Sciacca and travels in comfort to Agrigento, arriving at the Juno Gate Entrance of the Valley of the Temples Archaeological Park. Here, you'll discover the highlights of this extraordinary UNESCO site: the Temple of Juno (Hera), a fine Doric temple from the mid-5th century BC set in a commanding position.

View the serene Garden of the Righteous, a modern memorial to those who saved lives, and the Byzantine Arcosolia, rock-cut tombs dating to the late 6th century. Later, admire the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Concordia, one of the best-surviving Greek temples in the world, and the Temple of Hercules (Heracles), the oldest in the Valley, still standing with eight of its original columns.

The tour concludes with the colossal Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest Doric temple ever planned, and the impressive standing Telamon, one of the giant stone figures recently restored and re-erected to once again support its ancient structure.
