Hallo! I'm an official local guide in Agrigento since 1998. I really encourage you to take a tour in my city. The Valley of Temples is a World Heritage Site and so a place with a very rich historical background. Don't waste your occasional presence in Sicily with only a superficial look at the Temples. Take the chance to get a real insight of the site. You will discover, at the end of the tour, that, no matter from what side of the globe you come from: this site is part of your history. It belongs to you. Obviously the Greek temples and the Sicilian landscape will appeal directly to your spirit and senses. They will fascinate you with their magic. But with the guided tour you will learn more about their history. The guide will disclose the secrets of their perfect architecture, the reasons why they still fascinate us. At the end of the tour you will look at them as an essential part of mankind's history. I'm looking forward to welcoming you! I am a local guide in Agrigento since 1998. I have a regular official license (SE084//44) . I am fully vaccinated against Covid 19. I have always worked in the tourism since I left University in Palermo where I integrated literary studies with exams in Art History and History of Sicily. After I took the degree in English and German Litteratures, I spent one year abroad in UK and Ireland to get The Proficiency Certificate in English Studies released by the University of Cambridge. In Germany I worked for an year as an assistant of italian courses in a high school for classic studies, the Goethe Schule in Bochum. As I started the activity of tour guide I realized it really suits me because conjugate the passion I have for history and arts with the pleasure to meet people from around the world. I am not a driver-guide. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. Please mind that I am not a native English speaker. My accent could probably require sometimes you to ask me to repeat some commentary again.

Sarah was very knowledgeable about the Greek ruins and brought with her some drawings to help us understand their original designs. She brought the Valley of the Temples to life for us. A very good introduction to Agrigento!
Katherine P.United States
Sara was an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and provides a thorough overview of the history of The Valley of the Temples. Our group of 5 were interested in all the information she shared. It made the experience so much richer with the context she provided.
Rosa N.United States
Excellent tour! We enjoyed it very much. Sara is very knowledgeable and packs in a lot of information while maintaining a good pace. My family took Sara’s tour 9 years ago and were very impressed at the time, so much so that I purposely booked her again this time for a tour that included other family members who were visiting Agrigento for the first time. Sara was also very helpful in suggesting a place to eat after our tour. We had a delicious dinner at a beautiful restaurant with a fantastic panoramic view.
