Tour of Paestum archaeological site
We had a tour of the Paestum archaeological site and of the museum with Alessandro. He is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. He gave us a lot of interesting information not only about Paestum, but about the history of the region and of Italy in general. He was more than happy to answered all our questions in a very detailed and professional manner. We had a very good time and enjoyed the tour of Paestum.
