Explore Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples with a $17 entry ticket, multilingual audio guide, and access to the Treasures of Italy exhibition.
“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”

Explore Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples with a $4.70 GPS audio guide covering 11 sites, Greek myths, history, and practical visit tips.
“Very nice experience. I recommend light shoes and a hat if there is a lot of sun. I recommend choosing the ITGUIDES audio guide for sight because geolocalization is very convenient. The individual descriptions are not very long but I think they contain all the most important information and also some curiosities and legends.”
Review of Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples ticket and phone audio guide, with practical advice on value, entry, walking, and common tech problems.
“The Valley of the Temples is fantastic. A must see in my opinion. There is a lot of walking to do between the different sites, but well worth the effort once you get their. BAD THING the audio guide was so complicated to install and figure out, that we gave up and paid for a €1.50 map. What a joke the audio guide instalation was. Actually, the whole ticketing process is very poorly implemented. If your are over 25 you wont be able to figure it out! First up, you get a "voucher" from Viator. In some places this is refered to as a ticket and in other places its…”

Visit Agrigento’s Greek temples and Piazza Armerina’s Roman mosaics on a 10-hour audio-guided trip from Catania.
“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.”
Review of the Siracusa to Marzamemi and Noto tour, with audio guide details, value advice, itinerary notes, and practical booking tips.
“This could have been better. The office where we were to meet was completely torn apart as they were doing work, and no one from any tourist service was there. At one minute before starting time a van arrived and we got in. The driver was only a driver and only spoke Italian. He drove exceedingly fast which eventually we mentioned to him. The audio guide was a voice in 4 languages telling a little about Marzamemi and then Noto, but was not pleasant to listen to. After our two hours in Noto the driver took us back to the meeting point in Syracuse, less than six hours after we…”

Still and amazing activity and a fun way to explore”
