“Not exactly line free tickets. You still have to exchange your QR code for tickets which means you stand in line albeit shorter than regular ticket line. And then you have to stand in line for the audio guide. Our visit was in mid September so might be more useful ticket during a busier time of year. The Valley of Temples itself is impressive.

“la visite est parfaite. a faire au coucher du soleil magnifique. cependant l audioguide n est pas top. 1es explication par temple ne dure qu une minute du mal a trouver la position exacte sur le site. et comme l appli est sur le téléphone, quand on prend des photo il faut se remettre sur l appli.... donc je recommande cette visite bien sûr mais sans l audioguide un manuel a vendre a l entrée est presque mieux”

“Mario shared his incredible knowledge of the Valley of the Temples on this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The site is both impressive & fascinating. We listened intently to Mario’s historical accounts. When you visit this site having a guide is a must. We left knowing so much about the history of Agrigento & the Valley of the Temples site. We visited in June, it was warm but Mario found plenty of shade as we strolled through the valley. Thank you Mario for your passion it was infectious!”

“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”
