You'll tour Paestum's three Doric temples and archaeological museum at your own pace, then head to a working buffalo mozzarella farm to watch cheese being made and taste it warm. Lunch follows at the farm, built around seasonal local produce. Private transport and air conditioning included; eight to nine hours door-to-door.

What to expect
Your driver collects you and heads south towards Paestum. Once there, you're free to spend several hours exploring the site: three monumental temples standing in a coastal plain, plus the museum housing everyday Roman objects and vibrant frescoes. There's no narration, so bring a guide app or come curious about what you see.
After, you'll drive to a nearby mozzarella dairy. Staff demonstrate how they stretch curds in hot whey, explaining why buffalo milk produces a silkier cheese than cow milk. You'll taste the result—still warm, slightly tangy—alongside antipasti. Lunch comes next: a starter, pasta course, and sweet finish, all tied to what's in season and available from neighbouring producers.
Good to know
Museum and temple entry isn't covered; buy tickets on arrival or online beforehand. The farm visit involves some standing and watching; moderate fitness helps. Infant car seats available on request. Lunch accommodates most diets if you flag needs in advance.
