Informative and fun - Mario was very knowledgeable and shared his passion with the group. The tour was very informative and we had a great time learning about the Greek ruins in Paestum. Surpassed our expectations.

A great tour with lots of insight - Our excellent guide met us at the appointed hour and proceeded to show us around the site. She was extremely knowledgable and delivered her comments in a measured fashion that allowed the information to be easily absorbed. She was honestly one of the best guides we have encountered in our travels. We were able to ask questions and we did not feel rushed. The tour visited all of the major points of interest and the guide kindly extended the tour to talk to us about the enchanting tomb of the diver. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable day - Mario, our guide for the day, is the most knowledgeable and kind archaeologist. He gave us a fascinating insight into the ancient city. So many stories and anecdotes. The experience is infinitely enhanced by being led by a subject matter expert. My superlatives would not do him justice, so all I can do is to recommend the tour for others.

History brought alive at Greek temples - Mario, our archaeologist was engaging, articulate and extraordinarily educated in the history of Paestum. His English was impeccable. I came with many questions. He answered them all and then some. Our 2 hour tour flew by. This is one of the best experiences I’ve had.

Amazing Tour, Fantastic Guide - Wow, wow, wow! Paestum is one of, if not the most engaging tour sites I've ever visted, and my family loves to travel. Mario is a wonder; he's easily the best guide I've ever had. He was able to convey a storied history about the land, the people and their cultures, and of course, the temples and other ancient structures. There are active archeological digs in progress, which was cool to see. If you have the chance, ask for Mario as your guide, you're in for a real treat. His wealth of knowledge, fun facts and relaxed pace kept my whole family (including my 10 and 12 year old children) actively interested for 2 hours in 90 degree heat. That alone deserves an award. I wish we had even more time! Paestum offers a level of intimacy with the attractions that you can't find in Rome. I would 100% recommend this tour, don't miss out!

Paestum archaeological site trip - This archaeological site is very interesting. We can see 3 old Greek temples at one time. The lady guide is quite helpful. She arrived early to prepare for us because the meeting site was really unclear. She is quite knowledgeable, speak very good English. Able to answer questions.
