Excellent learning experience with Mario - Absolutely fantastic experience with Mario. Not only was he extremely kind of wait for us as we were running late, but he really showed his passion for Paestum in this tour. Extremely knowledgeable and clear in his explanation of the amazing sight. Sadly the weather was not kind for our daughter so we needed to separate and follow up with them again but each time he was kind about it given the other members. Highly recommend this tour and I highly recommend Mario

Paestum in a day. - Mario was an excellent guide, clearly explained the history with details, but not overwhelming. On a hot day, he kept us in shaded stops outside. The museum highlights were very interesting and there was time to explore on our own. A visit to Paestum would be very boring without the context provided by a guide.

Paestum Relived. - Everytabout the trip was fantastic. Our tour guide Mario was excellent. He guided us through the whole experience with excellent background knowledge. We were with an English speaking group but there were many from different counties with many different English accents. He was able to understand everyone and answered all questions given to him. If all your tour guides are as well knowledgeable as Mario I would not hesitate of booking any tour with you again.

Amazing tour with expert guide - Ivan, an amazing archeologist, did an expert job leading us back into the amazing history of Paestum. He even shared some of the places where he actually did some excavations and his findings. We highly recommend this tour. It’s an easy train ride and walk to the park.

A paestum with an exceptional guide, Camillo Sorrentino - Our guide, Camillo Sorrentino, was fantastic. Camillo managed to capture the attention of our children from start to finish, always giving us accurate and interesting information. Time flew by and the excursion to Paestum was like traveling through Greek and Roman history. Thanks Camillo, see you next time!
