This is a long day!
Deborah_E, Sept 2023
This MAY have been an enjoyable tour if the itinerary had been double checked by the driver's company, which was not aware or did not inform the driver that the Italian President was planning to host the German President at the Villa Romana that morning. The venue was closed until 1330, requiring a reroute to the Valley of Temples (abbreviated visit) and return to Villa Romana which was doubly crowded since it was closed in the morning.
Driver Richard was great, although frustrated, and spoke English well. He collected us right on time at 0830, but our drop off was 1900 hours!
Driver should have cold water in the vehicle, and advise tourists to order tickets in advance or while enroute, since the admission ticket purchase lines can be lengthy.
I would not recommend this tour from Siracusa, as the distance adds 2 hours to the day, and because the Valley of Temples park offers little to no shade from the Sicilian heat.

Joyce_S, May 2023
This is my second time visiting the villa and still am in awe. There is a cafeteria and gift/book shop. Your driver's should be informed so they can inform their passengers of location of cafeteria and restrooms. Richard was unaware.
Excellent Driver!!

Everything went well, pick up was on time. Our driver Joseph was excellent, the two stops were very interesting. We were not rushed, it was a very enjoyable day for us. One note, the drivers are very helpful, but they do not guide you thru the destinations.
Agrigento
Paul_M, Sept 2022
This was a great day out to see one of the most notable historical sites in Sicily.
Unfortunately, we were not offered the WiFi connector or bottled water that was outlined in the description at the time of booking. Be sure to ask for this in advance/on the day.
Private trip to Casale Romano and Agrigento
Richard_H, Aug 2022
Our visit was a private trip with a driver for the day starting and ending in Syracuse. Giuseppe was an amazing driver who collected us from our hotel exactly at the specified time. He spoke good English and was happy to explain about the Island of Sicily whilst we travelled. We had as long as we wanted at the sites and could quickly contact him when we were ready to move on. His driving skills, especially during an incredible thunderstorm, was exemplary. The sites were wonderful see if you have an interest in history and would have been impossible to visit in a day without a car. The entry fee to the sites is not part of the excursion cost. On the day in August when we visited the two sites there was no queue and we paid entry at the entrance. It was very hot so carrying water with you is essential, also starting at the top of the site at Agrigento and walking down the hill is alot easier than the other way round! We felt the excursion was excellent value for the money we paid and happily recommend it.
Agrigento
