★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 156 reviews · from $54

The route takes you from the hilltop Temple of Hera downhill to Concordia, Herakles, and Zeus, with views of the Mediterranean, ancient fortifications, and Byzantine arcosolia. Tours run in English or Italian. One guide, Montana Calogero, helped an English-speaking visitor who had booked the Italian tour, but book your preferred language.

“Fantastic tour! We were traveling 2 hours for this tour and had some hiccups along the way. We let the guide know about us possibly being late and he was extremely accommodating. He called and made arrangements to leave the entry tickets for us. He then let another guide who was giving a tour know that we could possibly join her tour. She kept an eye out for us and even came back to the entry gate to get us. They were all so kind, and welcoming. The tour itself was fantastic. They gave so much interesting history and answered lots of questions. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”

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””
