An absolute must! - We had the absolute best sunset tour with Michele. He was brilliant and gave such a great historical overview of the temples, the surrounding areas and Sicily. Absolutely worth it and doing it at sunset is a definite must! Highly recommend this tour.

A great guided tour of the Valley of the Temples - Mario was a great guide: informative, communicative, responded to questions and filled a lot into 2 hours. He was generous with his time and clearly knowledgeable. Very organized and focused.

An excellent tour with Michele as our guide - Michele was an excellent guide, after an initial mix up regarding the meeting place (my fault not his but beware that there are ticket offices at both ends of the temple walk) the tour was very informative and Michele was both amusing and able to answer our questions and share his knowledge. Note that although it said that the tour ended at the start point, this was incorrect and we had to make our own way back to the start point where we had left our car.

Not a good ending for sure! - We had a nice time on the sunset tour (it was beautiful) until we were left at the end of the tour in the dark by our guide. He told us we were too late for the shuttle back to the parking lot that was going to cost an extra 4 Euro per person. Our confirmation said we would end at the meeting point which was the parking lot/ordination point of the tour and no extra fee was needed! It was really dark and you had to walk over tree roots and stones before getting back on to the flat boulevard along the temple route for maybe 3/4 mile? For us, being 75+ years, it was not only hard but extremely dark and we had only the flashlight from our phones to guide us back. The others in our group were younger and were quicker to exit. Our guide helped one couple get a taxi ride to town but we were told how to get back on our own and good luck! Had I known we were going to be in our own at the end, I would have paid more attention to the route back. A lot of the route is lit, but some areas are not and it was somewhat scary being out there by ourselves and seeing no one else. . We were among the last 3 cars to leave the parking lot. Our guide did not carry a flashlight however other guides had them and used them to light the way and the brochure he read from.

Great temples but poor tour. - The perfect time to visit the temples and see them during sunset then light up in the dark at the end. Had a great time. However quality of the tour was very poor. Better to go enjoy them alone. Tour guide shared limited information about the temples and was not worth the cost.
