We have engaged dozens of guides to local history annd culture over the years and it can be a hit or miss affair. (Last week in Syracuse, a local historian kept referring to Greek temples built in 6,000 BC. He meant 600 - and he was overall a great guide!).
Michele is really next level. He is an outstanding guide to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples. He goes very deep on the history, knows his histories, cultures, literatures, thinkers, architecture that conquered and built or neglected this amazing place. He loves this corner of Sicily and after two hours with him, so will you. He was flexible when our schedule changed, answered a wide range of questions with the right level of detail, spoke excellent English, and kept his answers succinct (another rarity in Italy).
Michelin says one star is worth a stop, two a detour, and three a journey, Michele is one of the few three star guides I’ve met. Highest recommendation.
