High cultural profile visit with Ivan - We have had many guided tours over the years, but today we had a unique, very pleasant experience of great cultural depth. The guide, Ivan Tornese, immersed us in the historical reconstruction, gave us his experience in the field, which allowed us to fully understand the place where we were. Congratulations to Ivan and grateful to you for "get your guide" to take advantage of such professionalism and therefore satisfy the most refined palates

Excellent afternoon in Paestum with a terrific guide (Maria) - Went to Paestum with Maria as my archaeological guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and lovely and was able to answer my many questions. She added lots of historical information which helped the site come to life and place it in context. I highly recommend her.

Paestum beautiful trip super recommended - Beautiful Paestum, clean and well organized archaeological park and city. Fiorenza, our kind, knowledgeable and fantastic guide involved adults and children (12 year olds) making us relive the ancient city with smells and colours. Nice and well organized museum, interesting diver's stuff. Thanks to the guide, this tour becomes truly special.

Perfect tour of Paestum - Mario was fantastic! He was fun and open minded, and down to earth! We told him our time constraints and limitations and he perfectly adjusted the whole tour to our needs. We enjoyed the way he presented the information and made it very interesting. Ask for Mario you don't be disappointed!! Also we found a cab driver, Antonio at the train station who held our bags and met us at a specified time to take us back to the train station. The whole day was perfect.

Paestum - Amazing! - On this trip to Italy, we visited Rome, Naples, and the towns along the Amalfi coast. We made a special trip to Paestum, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our vacation. It is not overrun with tourists, so you are actually able to really get a good look at the temples, which are spectacular. It is astonishing that after 2,000 years they are still in very good shape. We decided to book a private guide, which turned out great. Our guide, Carmen, was very knowledgeable and interesting and we had a great discussion about the temples. Note: After you finish visiting the temples, you will probably want lunch. There are restaurants at the edge of the site at the edge of the parking lot. Luckily, our taxi driver told us about La Basilica Cafe Paestum, which is behind the parking lot. We got a Margarita pizza, which was very good. It is not as congested as the first restaurant you see when walking from the ruins.

A real addition to the site - The museum is located across the road and was recently redesigned. And that was very successful. The layout and arrangement of the artefacts is open, well documented and illuminated. It covers level -1, ground floor and + 1 and +2 floor. It gives a nice illustration of the decoration of the temples as it must have been earlier. Very colorful and exuberant. The combination ticket also provides entrance to the museum and costs €18/pp
