Tours and tour guides in/around Taormina?

Hi y'all! I'm visiting Taormina in June, and I'll be with a friend who has an interest in archaeology and ceramics. I know there are several locations near and sort-of-near Taormina that would interest us (Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Caltagirone, the Villa Romana del Casale). Can anyone personally recommend any tour guides that come pick you up and drive you to these locations? The friend I'm traveling with has limited mobility, and we're trying to avoid the big bus tours. Thank you for any advice you can give!

Contact Sicily Life. We've used them twice, once in 2010 and then this last April. Solid company. Did a great tour of Etna and a winery on its slopes.

There are lots of wonderful historical sites to visit in Sicily- I would just caution that Agrigento is on the opposite end of the island from Taormina. Google maps puts it at a 2.5 hour drive each way so in the best case you'd be spending five hours in a car for the day.
