Cruise Agrigento's Valley of the Temples on an e-scooter, see major shrines and ruins, and save your legs in summer heat.
“We still had to buy the entrance tickets and audio guide, they were not included in our payment - this wasn’t clear to me -. Renting the scooters was as wonderful: it was a hot sunny day and we avoided having to walk a long way, which on the way back would have been difficult and very uncomfortable with the heat. One went zipping from one temple to the next on the scooter and then had time to walk around it. The guide was a scooter guide, no history or details, though he was helpful and did tell some stories.”

“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”
Quad tour from Ribera castle to sea with canyon riding, river fords, and Piana Grande coast stops. 3 hours, English, small groups.
“What started as a booking mistake turned into one of the most unforgettable days of my 4-week trip through Italy. I accidentally booked the “Castle to Sea” quad tour not realizing it was in Ribera, on the opposite coast from where I was staying in Palermo. I reached out to cancel, and Vincenzo reassured me that if I made the 2-hour trip, they’d pick me up from the bus stop (more like a post in the middle of nowhere!) and promised I’d have fun. I took the chance—and I’m so glad I did. Angela picked me up with a warm smile and brought me to the shop to meet the…”
Skip the line at Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples. A guided walk to Hera, Concordia, Herakles, and Zeus in 2 hours.
“What an excellent tour! The site was so much larger than we imagined but we were taken to all of the key places and given so many interesting facts and information at each point. We chose to go on the 6pm tour and by the time we had finished, we were treated to the monuments being lit up, a spectacular sight, so pretty. Would definitely recommend a guided tour rather than just wandering around by yourselves!”
