What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and handles the roughly 90-minute drive south. Once in Agrigento, you're free to wander the Valley of the Temples independently—no guided commentary included, so consider hiring a local guide separately if you want historical context. You'll have a few hours among the Doric columns and hilltop ruins before the return journey to Palermo. Traffic and time of day will shift journey times noticeably, so don't plan tight connections elsewhere that day. Bring water and sunscreen; the site has limited shade.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and smart-casual dress. No meals included beyond light snacks, so eat before departure or plan lunch in town. Book any hired guide independently—the driver won't provide archaeological detail. Journey times are estimates; allow buffer time for traffic, particularly leaving Palermo.
