    Agrigento is the best ! Just came back and did not anticipate the breathtaking beauty of Sicily . Wish we had only spent our whole trip in Sicily . I’ve been to Italy three times as a fortunate traveler but this is the most beautiful, complex and rich part of Italy .

    How lovely that Martin is reconnecting with family and you, Juliana, get to meet them and Sicily for the first time! It looks beautiful there and that rock cliff area looks fantastic! The food looks amazing except that last french fry sausage sandwich, I think I'll pass on that one, lol. Looking forward to your next installment!

    I just subscribed; I don't often do that because so many homemade travel videos are more irritating that informative (maybe my own too?). 🙂 I'm glad to have discovered you. You're both very charming and full of great information! I've traveled quite a bit in Italy but I'm visiting Sicily for the first time in late April 2024 and your videos of Agrigento and Palermo kept me riveted to the screen. I can't wait to check out your other materials and I will definitely use them to inform myself of all there is to see in Sicily. Thank-you for your creative work and buon viaggio!

    So because of your video, my wife and I booked a tour with your aunt and she was truly marvelous and such a nice person. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking at visiting Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. We did the evening tour and came away with a wonderful experience. ❤❤
    We also returned today so that we could go at a snail's pace and photograph.

    • @TouristtoLocal
      @TouristtoLocal  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you SO much for letting us know this!!!! We are thrilled you enjoyed her tour. It’s a special place that is definitely worth returning to. We actually did the same as you and came back for photos! Cheers!

    • @PeterLariviere
      @PeterLariviere 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @TouristtoLocal I think that is the only way to do the site. There is so much info on a tour that you need to pay attention and take it in. Then by returning to get photos, sit at one location to absorb the place, search out hidden secret locations that are not covered on the tour you really experience it fully. Yes it's an added cost but we'll worth it.
      And as someone whose career was in protected areas management (retired from Parks Canada to be specific) I suggest this is how visitors should approach most natural and cultural history sites.

    I love this video ! I was born in Citta’ Palermo and will be returning there this year for good. I have cousins in Castelvitrano and Marcella. To me there is no place on earth as beautiful as Western Sicily ! Keep up the good work and maybe we will run into each other in Agrigento some day soon. P.S. I have friends in Agrigento !
