About this tour
An 8–9 hour drive south from Sorrento takes you through Campania's cultural heartland. Start at Paestum's remarkably preserved Greek temples, then venture inland to a working buffalo farm where you'll photograph the animals and taste fresh mozzarella di bufala straight from the source. The route combines archaeology with rural food production, ending back in Sorrento with time for lunch.

- Private air-conditioned transport throughout
- Flexible itinerary suits all fitness levels
What to expect
Your driver collects you from Sorrento and heads toward the Campania coast, arriving at Paestum for roughly two hours of exploration among the temple ruins. You'll navigate the site independently—the scale is absorbing and unhurried. The farm visit follows: expect muddy paths, curious animals, and a chance to photograph buffaloes up close. Staff will walk you through cheesemaking basics and let you sample the mozzarella. The return journey allows time for a late lunch in Sorrento before drop-off.
Good to know
Temple entry (around €25) and lunch (approximately €30) are separate costs. No formal guide accompanies the archaeological site; bring water and sun protection. Strollers and infant seats available. Wear sturdy shoes for the farm—conditions can be wet.
