Traveling is my passion, as it is talking to people to share stories and emotions. After spending 10 years working and traveling across Europe I eventually decided to come back to Sicily. Why? Goethe once wrote "Without Sicily, Italy creates no image in the soul: here is the key to everything". Sicily is a land of emotions: wonderful art, ancient history, delicious food and breathtaking views. As different travelers have different interests, I love to tailor-make the tours according to what travelers are willing to experience, so that to turn each tour into a truly, unforgettable experience. Any tour with me is hence more than just a tour, so please do not hesitate to contact me should you either want to make any changes to a tour I offer or to inquiry about a tour that you have in mind and want me to help organize it for you. I would love to make your dreams come true! I provide tours in French and Russian with my wife, as she is Russian and teaches French.

With this full-day private guided tour you will see some splendid Ancient Greek temples and get to know the wonderful histories behind Agrigento. The view along the way is splendid: we will be driving through Sicily inland and along the coastline, so just fasten the seat-belt and enjoy the various landscapes before getting to the temples, whose view makes everybody stare in awe still after 2, 500 years. I will drop you off by the main entrance, on an hilltop, and provide instructions and information on what to see. If you prefer, with an extra, a colleague of mine will guide you inside the Valley of the Temples, cost not included to be quoted. After about 2.5 hours walking downhill I will meet you at the exit. After lunch at one of the best restaurants in the area I will take you to visit one ruined though still impressive 'secret' temple in order to better understand how big and important the sacred area of Agrigento was.
