Traveler reviews
Paestum- a serene experience where time has stood still
Paestum, the 3 incredible temples which have stood the test of time are an amazing symbol of Greek history not to be missed ! These where bought alive by our charming guide Ivan . I can honestly say that the passion and sheer joy of his descriptions of artifacts in the excellent museum , life in the town of Paestum itself , and his own archeological discoveries , made our visit something that we will never forget. Many thanks to him and please if you are in the south of Italy take time to visit this stunning place.
Wonderful 3-Hour Private Tour
We had a wonderful 3-hour private tour of Paestum with Mario. Mario was thoroughly knowledgeable and entertaining. He expertly guided us through both the Greek and Roman ruins and even showed us a beautiful Roman mosaic which most visitors don’t even know about. After touring the ruins, Mario took us through the lovely museum and made sure we saw the amazing fresco called the Diver. Paestum is not to be missed and having a private tour made it wonderful.
Very satisfied
Marco proved to be a prepared and very passionate Guide, also responding to the curiosity of the participants in a complete and satisfactory way. It was engaging in the exhibition and gave many smiles despite the intense heat.
Guided tour cancelled less than 24 hours in advance
I booked my guided tour to Paestum 2 months in advance. It was supposed to take place on May 12. Less than 24 hours before the tour Askos cancelled it, saying that the guide is not available and offered to resched. The problem is , that when you plan your vacation months ahead and travelling through Italy, rescheduling is not a practical option. You probably have to have more than one single guide
Paestum
We entrusted ourselves to Ivan Tornese, an expert and empathetic guide. Morning spent among the archaeological excavations and the museum. A very pleasant experience: Ivan was able, with his passion, to transport us back in time, to make us experience the traditions of the Greek people, of the Gods, of their habits and customs. He managed to fascinate even the little ones, who asked questions and followed him with an admiring and curious look. His professionalism, his kindness, his irony allowed us to experience an unforgettable Sunday. Thanks for everything
