Our private guide, Lucia. She was so passionate in her work. She loved being there as much as we did. Very Informative and knowledgeable. Had a great 2 hour tour. Great value. Highly recommend.

Had a great time with Roberto exploring the ancient Greek city of Paestum; an expert on the topic adds so much to experience!

The Paestum outdoor exhibit is fabulous. Three Greek temples with excellent information about the theories of how the temples were built, origin of the materials, and mythology. The unearthed Roman gladiator stadium was also interesting. Unfortunately Viator and local guide did not communicate well: 1) museum personnel and ticket office did not know that there was to be a Viator tour. 2) The tour guide thought we were to meet at the mueum whereas Viator told me to meet at the ticket office and the guide accused us of being in the wrong place. Unfortunate.

An immersion in Greek history, a blast from the past of 2500 years. With Apps to download for free you can have information on all points in the area: the Temples, houses, swimming pool etc., enough to allow you to imagine life so many centuries ago. The ticket costs € 6,00 and also allows you to visit the Museum of Paestum and the archaeological site of Velia (within 3 days). To be recommended absolutely.
