Discover the thousand-year history of the wonderful city through our Valley of the Temples Guided Tour: our Evolved Guide qualified tourist guide, registered with the Sicilian Region, will guide you in this extraordinary journey to explore the Archaeological Site of the Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site since 1997. Pirandello, the famous italian writer and poet, described the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento: “the temples were that the temples were “survivors of another world, immersed in a forest of olive and almond trees that had grown all around”.

The archaeological site is the best evidence of the magnificence of the ancient city of Àkragas, the ancient name of Agrigento: this is the sacred area of the city, where the grandiose Doric temples, constructed during the fifth century BC, are still visible today; they are some of the best preserved temples in the world. The Evolved Guide local tour guide will guide you on this walk among the temples so that you will discover the history of one of the most important cities in Sicily and you will be able to enjoy unforgettable landscapes.
