What to expect

Paestum is famous for two things: ancient Greek temples and mozzarella. Admire some of the best-preserved temples in the world and discover the unparalleled taste of buffalo mozzarella on a day trip to Paestum with departure from Sorrento.

A comfortable tourist bus will pick you up in Sorrento and take you southwards to the archeological site of Paestum, where you will visit the ancient Greek colony founded in the 7th century BC. Explore the archeological area with a guide, marvel at three Doric temples that are said to be the best preserved in the world, and visit Paestum's museum which displays many fascinating artifacts, such as sculptures and tomb paintings discovered during the excavations.

Afterward, you will be taken to a local farm where the famous buffalo mozzarella cheese is made entirely by hand and exclusively with buffalo milk. Learn more about Campania's dairy tradition on a guided tour of the stables where the most avant-garde techniques of milking are used to safeguard animal welfare, hygiene and milk quality. At the end of the tour, you will have the opportunity to taste this exquisite product!

Herculaneum and Vesuvius Skip-the-line Tour with Local Lunch

Wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. On this skip-the-line tour, you'll visit what remains of this once-thriving seaside town as well as see Mt Vesuvius – the architect of its destruction. Andrea, one of our local experts, says, 'Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum's deeper burial under volcanic mud resulted in an astounding level of preservation. It's a quieter, more intimate experience'.After Vesuvius's dramatic 79 AD eruption, Herculaneum became a town frozen in time. Now resurrected from its volcanic slumber, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is brimming with stories untold. On a guided tour with trusty headsets, you'll see the haunting boathouses – the sombre final chapters of desperate refugees – and the town's beautifully preserved marble floors, mosaics, and vibrant frescoes. Andrea says, 'Like many Roman towns, Herculaneum had a complex of public baths, which were a hub of daily life. These baths are particularly well-preserved and showcase the complex heating systems and detailed mosaics that adorned their walls and floors'.You'll then head up the mighty Mount Vesuvius – the only active volcano in mainland Europe. With its eye-catching panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Naples, it's well worth the trip. To make your experience even more memorable, entrance fees and skip-the-line tickets are covered for you, ensuring you don't have to queue under the warm, Italian sun. What's more, you'll get to tuck into a traditional lunch, ideal to wrap up your trip.
