Definitely add a Paestum visit if you enjoy history - Had a great time with Roberto exploring the ancient Greek city of Paestum; an expert on the topic adds so much to experience!

Private tour-local archaelogist guide - 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.

Tour never happened - After I changed time of meeting on Viator website and got confirmation by email, the change never reached the office. They still had old time and scheduled the guide for original time. Nobody met us and after loosing 30 min on the phone with them, we hired a local guide and proceeded with the trip. They deny clumsy handling and I tend to keep the cost of the tour fir 4 people, claiming they “investigated” the issue but they never provided the proof of their findings. Takeaway: don’t trust the website and call the office for changes, always! We’ll continue the dispute through credit card company. Viator should do better!
