Realmente valió cada peso. Usamos entradas y visita guiada al Parque Arqueológico de Agrigento todo el tiempo y funcionó perfecto. Pasar por Agrigento valió el tour entero. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Um prazer

Faria de novo sem pensar duas vezes. Não tínhamos ideia da história de Agrigento. Guia excelente, com muito conhecimento da história local. Aproveitamos guia de conversação em inglês mais do que imaginávamos. Se voltarmos a Palermo, repetimos.

Ideal para conocer la ciudad

Simplemente perfecto. Terminar en Templo de Zeus Olímpico Filadelfia fue el mejor cierre. Buena selección de vinos, nos explicaron cada uno. El guía respondió hasta las preguntas más raras con datos precisos. Gracias por el día que nos hicieron pasar.

Bien, con detalles

Vale la pena, con algunos detalles a pulir. Nos quedamos sin palabras en Agrigento. El guía era bueno, aunque hubiera preferido más tiempo para preguntas. Faltó un poco más de tiempo libre al final.
