Travel from Catania in a small group of up to eight to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina’s Villa del Casale.

“Our tour guide, Alessio, picked us up at 9 am at our hotel, which was great because we had not rented a car in Catania, Sicily. Two other couples, who spoke only Spanish, were on the tour with us. Alessio was fluent in both English and Spanish and did a great job alternating conversations between us. My husband and I really liked Alessio! He is a great tour guide and we highly recommend this excursion! The drive through Sicily was an added bonus, on top of seeing the Temple of the Gods and Villa Romana. The country side is beautiful! Tip: wear sunscreen!Read more”

“Good tour, good guide. A little confusion about redemption of tout voucher. The instructions said we have to redeem the voucher at the bus station prior to departure. But when we got there, the ticket office told us to go to SAT agency. Then at SAT agency, we were told there was no need to redeem anything because their records showed that we have paid, so the voucher was “the tour ticket””

“We had a wonderful time. Francesco, our driver, has been very thoughtful and helpful. The transportation (which is what the tour is, it’s transport by 8 person minivan between Catania, Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina) was very comfortable. We had 2 hours in Agrigento and 1.5 hours at Piazza Armerina. The provided lunch/snack was delicious and we were offered many choices of food (sandwiches) and drink, including coffee, water, beer and wine. Met interesting fellow travelers on the tour and passed the lunch break getting to know them. It’s been an excellent way to see both amazing sights from Catania and I would wholeheartedly recommend the company. It’s…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 98 reviews · 12 hours · from $82

Leave Taormina by coach for Agrigento’s ancient temples, then continue inland to Villa Romana del Casale and its vivid Roman mosaics, including scenes of daily life and girls exercising in ancient bikinis. A tour leader accompanies the trip, with a local guide in Agrigento. Plan for a 12-hour day, extra admission costs, and plenty of walking.

“Coach was comfortable but air con not that effective. Restaurant was average, staff good, definitely a welcome break, but toilet facilities poor. There were lots of visitors at the villa the same time as us which made it very crowded and groups of tours blocked the aisles.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 54 reviews · from $118

Travel from Catania by air-conditioned minivan to Villa Romana del Casale, where you explore the Roman mosaics on your own, then stop for Sicilian brunch with wine and water. Your driver takes you on to Caltagirone for a walk through its ceramic-lined streets and up the famous tiled staircase. Drivers Marco and Antonio have been praised for their helpful commentary.

“Marco has a very pleasant personality and in his commentary he provided a lot of information on Sicilian culture. And he is very organised and an excellent driver. Everything ran smoothly. It was a tight timetable but enough time to see everything. I suggest preplanning what you would like to see in Caltagirone. Highly recommend the ceramics museum. The lunch was excellent. We weren't sure what was going to be served but we were more than satisfied. Villa Romana was amazing with it's mosaic floors. I'm not sure why it's not mentioned in the title of the tour. I can highly recommend this tour.Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 38 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $303

Travel from Catania in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to Villa Romana del Casale and Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples. You’ll have about two hours at each site, with time to see the villa’s famous mosaics and the Greek temples. A driver handles the long transfers, but admission tickets and specialist guides are extra.

“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!”

“This was a great trip and Manuel was a super guide. My grand daughter and I were also in search of our ancestory and he made the extra effort to take us to the town hall in the town they were from and communicated our info to the staff there. They were very helpful, but unfortunately there was no trace of them, but he was relentless in trying to help us. I will be forever grateful for his efforts. Such a kind young man. The sights we saw were amazing and the lunch choice he made was perfect. Just incredible. Thank you Manuel (probably spelled wrong). Loved the trip!!!”
