What you'll see and do
Parco Archeologico di Paestum e Velia

It is known for their three ancient Greek temples, which are still in an excellent state of preservation today. - You will have 1.5 hours free to visit the Temples of Paestum.

Archaeological Park of Pompeii
Pompeii is one of the most significant pieces of evidence of Roman civilization and provides exceptional information on the art, customs, crafts and daily life of the past. The city has re-emerged after centuries just as it would have been when it was buried in the layer of ash and lava from the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. In what had been one of the most active and splendid centers of Rome, life stopped definitively. You will have 2 hours free to visit the ruins of Pompeii. If you want I can find a guide for you. (the price of the guide and tickets are not included in the tour) - Between one attraction and another, the customer can decide to add a lunch and a wine tasting, typical of Vesuvius, with a visit to the vineyards, or a tasting of buffalo mozzarella products, on a farm. - You will probably need to add extra hours if you add lunch since it will take more than 8 hours, but we will decide this together. TASTING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE MINIMUM VALUE €30/45

Our best day in Italy!
Phenomenal! This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for my family that included four generations. We were able to spend time living and eating like Italians and got to see many of the most fabulous sites in Rome, Florence, and Venice. But by and far our Private tour and day trip to The Ruins of Pompeii guided tour and The Greek Temples of Paestum was everyone's favorite day before we even knew we were going to the beautiful Bosco de Medici vineyard for an amazing lunch and wine tasting. Everything was organized for us including the car seat for the baby. Our driver was waiting when we arrived at the train station with a comfortable, air-conditioned van. We didn't have to worry about anything, we could just sit back and relax and have a great time. Definitely the easiest day of our whole trip 🙂 Our driver was amazing. He helped us get whatever we needed and gave lots of information on the areas we were visiting and the lifestyle. We had experiences of a lifetime and memories we will never forget. Thank you Palma and Nello, you are awesome at what you do!

The Listing was misleading
The day was ok but rushed. When we booked it, it was very misleading, but they have since changed it to be more accurate. This is strictly a transfer and you need to grab lunch on the run because time is not allowed for that. When we booked it, it looked like a tour and that we would have time to stop at a winery as long as we paid for what we did there. It also said that our driver would stop at scenic spots and let us take pictures, while pointing out things along the way. None of this was the case, but fortunately they changed the listing. Paolo, our driver was very nice, but only tried to answer our questions and didn't add anything additional as far as information about the area. My rating is based on the listing we booked it from and not what is represented now.

Pompeii and Paestum from Positano
Giuseppe was very prompt and professional. He speaks exceptional English and was able to anticipate our needs. When we come back to this area, we will hire him again.

Wonderful Service
We had a fantastic experience with this booking. The communication beforehand was seamless and easy; the company was helpful in making recommendations & allowed us to customize our day, all with plans prepared in advance! Our driver, Giuseppe, even arrived early to pick us up from our hotel and he was friendly, polite, & an excellent driver. The car was also comfortable for the duration of our private drive. We had just the right amount of time to enjoy our independent experiences in Pompeii & Paestum (plus, the lunch stop we added on), but you could choose to arrange tours if you wish.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pompeii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pompeii is not rushed.
Is Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pompeii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pompeii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pompeii and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Tour-Temples of Paestum and Ruins of Pompeii start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pompeii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pompeii?
+
On Outty we rank every Pompeii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Minivan Trip from Rome: Pompeii Tour & Lunch in Sorrento, Skip the Line Guided Tour of Pompeii Led by an Archaeologist, Explore Pompeii with an Archaeologist. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pompeii?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pompeii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
