Highly recommended guided tour!

Our guide Mario offered us a very interesting and informative tour with many details. The two hours that ended up being two and a half felt short! Paestum is very much worth it and even better guided by someone passionate about history.

Discovering PAESTUM with an expert guide

We decided to visit the archaeological site of PAESTUM with our nine-year-old daughter. To optimize time and make the best use of the half-day available, we thought it best to rely on a guide and we chose this mini tour that included the area and museum. We were very satisfied, the number of people was quite limited so we could follow the explanation very well. Mario is a very quick-witted guide, capable of making every explanation interesting, even the most difficult ones, and even the children were very interested. Ready to answer every curiosity with historical details and more. For the time also dedicated to the museum, we believe the cost is more than fair! excellent experience
