About this tour
Explore Paestum's ancient Greek temples and Roman ruins on a private 2.5-hour tour designed for families.

What to expect
Your guide will lead you through the site with a mix of storytelling and hands-on activities. Rather than lecturing from a fixed spot, you'll move between temples and ruins whilst your guide sets up challenges and mysteries for children to solve. Expect to spend time in front of the major structures—the three Doric temples are the headline acts—with moments to sit, ask questions, and let younger ones catch their breath. The treasure hunt gives the tour shape and purpose beyond passive sightseeing, turning archaeological facts into a narrative your family is actively uncovering. The pace accommodates buggies and wheelchairs throughout.
Good to know
Entrance fees to the archaeological park aren't included and must be paid separately. Public transport links exist nearby, and the site is fully wheelchair accessible with level surfaces. Bring water and sun protection; there's limited shade. Allow extra time if your group moves slowly or includes very young children.
