SICILY · VILLA ROMANA DEL CASALE TOURS
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 15 villa romana del casale tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
From Palermo, see Sicily’s Roman mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale and the Greek temples of Agrigento with guided Valley of the Temples.
“Very impressed with Joanna the tour guide and Salvatore the driver. Got plenty of time at the sights. Maybe perhaps not as much time needed at breaks and the villa.”
From Catania, visit Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina’s Villa del Casale mosaics on a small-group day trip.
“The two sites visited on this tour are very different but each is enthralling. Alessio is an excellent driver: we felt safe at all times. Despite oppressive heat, we enjoyed the Agrigento experience, when we were left to take the temples at our own pace. At the Roman Villa, Alessio came into his own, pointing out various details in the mosaics and giving helpful historical background.”
A long but smart Taormina day trip to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina’s Villa Romana del Casale mosaics.
“Good tour, good guide. A little confusion about redemption of tout voucher. The instructions said we have to redeem the voucher at the bus station prior to departure. But when we got there, the ticket office told us to go to SAT agency. Then at SAT agency, we were told there was no need to redeem anything because their records showed that we have paid, so the voucher was “the tour ticket””
Catania day trip to Agrigento and Piazza Armerina, with UNESCO Valley of the Temples, Roman mosaics, and Sicilian snack.
“Loved it. Loved our driver and organizer too. The lunch was delicious. Well planned and executed.”
From Taormina, a 12-hour bus tour to Agrigento's Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina's Villa Romana del Casale mosaics.
“The tour guide was very knowledgeable, I learned more about the Greek history at the Valley of the Temples. It was a very hot day, and lots of walking, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. Piazza Armerina was very interesting, some remarkable mosaics, a lot very well preserved. The only issue we had, was the minibus was quite cramped, I imagine taller people, my husband and I are both 5ft 6ins, would really struggle on the long journey.”
Skip-the-line guided tour of Piazza Armerina’s Villa Romana del Casale, with 4th-century mosaics, baths, and private rooms.
“The tour itself was okay, and the site is simply amazing. Definitely worth a visit. But too many other groups were around so it got very confused and difficult to understand the guide. The equipment did not work very well. Because of interferences ? I do not understand why so many groups start at the same time. No wonder it gets crowded.”
Tour Catania to Villa Romana del Casale, then Piazza Armerina and Caltagirone, with brunch and Sicilian wine included.
“We had a lovely and informative day. Our guide Marco was an excellent driver, helpful and friendly. He supplied us with written information. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious and served with local wine supplied by our guide. We would recommend the tour. Piazza Amerina was amazing.”
Guided visit to UNESCO Villa del Casale mosaics in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, covering 48 rooms and stars like Great Hunt and Bikini scenes.
“The tour was very informative and interesting. If I had a complaint, it would be that there were too many people! Nothing you can control. Our guide was very good”
Full-day audioguide tour from Catania to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples and Piazza Armerina’s Roman mosaics, with pickup.

Full-day Sicily trip from Catania to Agrigento Temples and Piazza Armerina Roman mosaics, with multilingual audio guide and timed visits.
“We were not notified that the driver did not speak English. There was a pre-recorded description during the ride, but the driver could not communicate with its passengers.”
Private Palermo to Siracusa transfer with Valley of the Temples UNESCO and Villa Romana del Casale mosaics, plus scenic drive and lunch stop.
“We really enjoyed the program of a drive across the middle of Sicily and the visits to the two ancient sites. The car was very comfortable and the pickup and drop off were prompt and to the door. It’s certainly a very pleasant method of transfer from the north west to south east of Sicily.”
Private skip-the-line tour of Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina, focused on late-Roman mosaics, baths, and daily life.
“The site is exceptional, the guide Stephania, pleasant and speaking good French, did the job by explaining and describing very well, she answered our questions but the visit lasted 1h40 and not 2h. It was therefore very expensive, 250 euros for the 4 of us, knowing that you have to add the entrance tickets. We do not regret our visit but we had a taste of too little for this price. The site is an absolute must-see!”
Private day trip from Catania or Taormina to Agrigento and Piazza Armerina, with Temple sights and Villa Romana del Casale mosaics.
“This is well worth seeing, however it was essentially self guided and therefore was very expensive. It may have been our mistake when booking but 268euro for a taxi service seems a rip off. The driver was pleasant and helpful. We had a rather unpleasant and unfriendly fellow passengers who clearly thought they had booked a private tour and refused to sit with us at lunch. We would not use this company again.”
See Piazza Armerina and Caltagirone in one day, with guided visits to Villa del Casale mosaics and the 142-step Santa Maria del Monte stairs.
“We had a lovely trip today to Piazza Armerina, Casale Romana and Caltagirone. Francesco was an awesome guide. His English is perfect. He is very passionate about his work and added a lot to the experience. He was extremely considerate also. We highly recommend this excursion and Francesco!”
Private transfer from Agrigento to Siracusa with UNESCO stops, audio-guided Valley of the Temples, and Roman Villa mosaics in Piazza Armerina.
“Our guide Michele Scilipoti was absolutely AMAZING, he accommodated to us the best he could and left us speechless with such a great day. Definitely recommend this tour 10/10”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
