Review of Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples ticket and app audioguide, with practical tips on entry, walking, heat, value, and timing.

“Valley of the Temples was fantastic! Although, I thought the rented audio was pretty useless. I ended up returning it early halfway through the tour so I didn’t have to walk all the way back to retrieve my ID left for collateral. It was a great day and I was able to take some stunning photos of the ruins.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 720 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $114

Review of the Favignana and Levanzo boat tour from Trapani, with clear-water swims, snorkeling, caves, drinks, snacks, and lunch time.

“Great experience. The tour was amazing and the captain (I think his name was Vitor? Maybe?) was a great guy. I was travelling solo and he was great at including me. The locations were so beautiful and captain gave me a good lunch dish recommendation which turned about to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten (tuna tartare). The only way this could have been better is if the people I was with on the boat spoke a little more English to allow for a more social experience.”
