Fantastic tour of the temples of Paestum

Maria was an excellent guide! She led us on a small journey through this archaeological site that is unique in the world. Combining concepts of ancient Greece with our everyday life, highlighting how we still have ancient habits and customs today that date back to this very magnificent people... As Maria used to say “nothing new under the sun”! Thank you Maria for sharing your knowledge with us, it was a pleasure to meet you!

Pasteum Historical sight

This was an amzing tour, and covered so much history that I was unfamiliar with up until this experience. The guide was excellent at giving and answering questions that we had.
