Y'all's channel is so underrated. This video deserves so many views. What a wonderful experience. Also, very impressed with your Italian Martin!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awww thanks so much 🥹 that means a lot coming from you guys!!! Cheers!

[@LocaldudeCA]

Agree!!

[@fiannaverret562]

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 .

[@TouristtoLocal]

Isn't is just fabulous! We are so lucky we got to spend a few weeks there. Thanks for watching!

[@rvltch]

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!

[@TouristtoLocal]

You have no clue how much this comment made us smile. Thank you. We’re so glad you enjoyed our channel enough to subscribe. Welcome to the family ❤️

[@cindyk3076]

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!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you so much!!! We had a blast in agrigento. Stay tuned for more 💕🙌

[@emmabeatrizmesaperez8531]

We are getting ready to go to Italy and I am watching your videos over and over again because I can only wish to have such a wonderful trip

[@TouristtoLocal]

How very thoughtful. Thank you so much!!!

[@Roadmap2Adventures]

Another amazing video with great storytelling. You guys really made us want to visit Agrigento. So charming! The food looked delicious. We can't wait for your food guide video coming soon.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awww thanks so much! We appreciate your continued support 💕💕💕

[@KarinasWorld]

What a beautiful story, with Martin’s aunt. Like out of a movie ❤

[@TouristtoLocal]

Right?! It’s such a touching story :) thanks for watching!

Thank you!!

Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed it!

[@erniegutierrez2288]

Beautiful little town! As a history buff i always love seeing ancient temples. It was crazy how it was nice and sunny and then suddenly a lightning storm came in. Oh and coffee topped with almonds and pistachios?!?!?!? MMMMMM "Like"

[@TouristtoLocal]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed this video! The weather change shocked us too! Totally unexpected :)

[@LocaldudeCA]

This was awesome I need to visit here

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@user-ko4vd4ye3z]

Excellent video. Loving your Sicilian set. Was this filmed recently (January)? It looks so warm!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you! It was actually filmed in AUGUST 😲 we just took forever to upload this series. We miss those warm days now that we are trapped in rainy Northern California! Thanks for watching!

[@littlesita9452]

Great video! I hope I can make it there some day (and eat, eat, eat 😂)

[@TouristtoLocal]

The food here is SOooooOoooO good! Hoping you can make it one day here too!

[@jademoy4923]

I visited Sicily in April, but didn’t make it to Agrigento. Look forward to seeing where you go! You make wonderful videos ☺️

[@TouristtoLocal]

Where did you end up going instead? We have a few other destinations we can’t wait to show in Sicily :)

[@jademoy4923]

@@TouristtoLocal 1 night in Catania, 2 nights in Taormina (sadly our Mt. Etna tour was canceled due to weather on Easter) hiked in the Necropolis of Pantalica on the way to Siracusa for 3 nights (day trip to Noto, Marzamemi, and Vendicari Nature Preserve). Lovely time!

[@JonathanRodriguez-nz9nw]

You both are the best, was wanting to travel Europe with a special someone and have been researching where to take her, and what comes up?? Bitacoras from Italy! Thank you so much!!!

[@TouristtoLocal]

🥹😍 love your comments! They always make our day. Glad this was just what you were looking for!!!

@@TouristtoLocal saludos from Chicago, stay safe you guys! 😇

[@pasqualeventura945]

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 !

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awww this is such a sweet comment! Thank you so much! We'd be curious to hear your thoughts on our new Palermo video :D

[@pasqualeventura945]

Will Do !

[@ronelverreynne6359]

Good morning guys.... thank you for an awesome channel. So much practical advice. Is it safe for a woman alone to travel Sicily and specifically Agrigento.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks so much! And ABSOLUTELY! Super safe here :)

[@ryankrug8030]

My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Sicily! We’ve been long time fans of you guys so we’re excited you’re there now! We stayed in Taormina, Syracusa, and Scopello. We have so many recommendations if you’re interested!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awwww how cool! Thanks so much for watching. We totally wish we could have gone to Syracusa during this trip. Hopefully we can come back again!

[@larrygianneschi1923]

Great videos on your channel! How do we contact your Aunt (the tour guide in Agrigento). We will be there on May 12th and would love to take a tour. Mille grazie!

[@TouristtoLocal]

We left her contact info in the description of this video! Thanks so much, and we are glad you enjoy our channel!

[@larrygianneschi1923]

@@TouristtoLocal I emailed her and have not heard back...can you reach out to your Aunt? Grazie!

[@Subwaygaryf]

Hi, I remember a Mexican (Italian to English) translator on a program about a Reno with Lorraine Brocco when she was in Sambuca when she purchased a home for 1 Euro. I believe Sambuca is in the same Provence. Is there a connection?

[@TouristtoLocal]

Oh cool! That is in the same province, but pretty far from where we were. We will have to check that out!

[@Speedkam]

Correction. Greeks didn't conquer the city. They settled it.
