Alesio was a great guide; he gave us many explanations, and it is clear that he is very enthusiastic about talking about your land and the connection he has with the land and his ancestors.
Informal, relaxed, informative trip back in time Alessio gave us a flavour of times gone by, drawing the group together , easy to imagine what life would have been like,a wonderful joint experience.
Very cool experience and guide! Impressive amount of info and a funny approach from our guide! I forgot his name but he is from Agrigento, and lvied in Australia for a short time! Definetly wear sport shoes and bring more than 500ml of water pp during summer.
From the initial introduction to the final farewell, Alessio shows his passion for the study of history. His unquenchable desire to help his guests see and feel the living past is contagious. My wife and I had strolled through the park before the tour, but the details Alessio was able to point out made it seem like a whole new place. Averse to listing dates and events as cold facts, he creates an organic narrative that connects the ancient world to our own. Like an artist using the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento as his canvas, Alessio creates an unforgettable image of ancient Sicily. I highly recommend this tour.

His ability to transform history into a vivid narrative is exactly what makes our sunset tour special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words.

An enlightened look at these outstanding edifices from the Roman Empire . We thought it value for money to really understand the life that was going on in these temples and surrounding area . Assio our guide was so passionate and enthralling we lost all sense of time and found ourselves spending more time there than we had expected .
Interesting to visit, Very good explanation from an expert guide.
We had a wonderful tour with Alessio. It was a great time in the day - with less heat and golden light.
