Fascinating and Fun tour of the ruins
Our tour with Julia as our guide was wonderful. The ruins are much bigger than we anticipated and it was great to have a guide who is an archeologist with so much knowledge but also a fun and humorous personality. Our tour with Julia was great and we highly recommend it.

AMAZING! Michele was the...
AMAZING! Michele was the best tour guide I’ve had on my 10 day trip in Italy. He was very knowledgeable about both sites, and even managed to teach me more about the colosseum in the 3 minutes he mentioned it than I learned on my actual 3 hour colessum tour. I will be booking Askos tours whenever available from now on. If you want to learn the most history/geology as possible, this is the right tour. Also our driver, Giuseppe, was excellent as well.

Excellent experience
Pompeii is magical and the guided tour, although it can only cover part of the excavations in three hours, really allows you to appreciate it even more. Our guide, Grazia, was very helpful, very engaging in her explanations, and she also made an effort to provide information that enhanced the rest of the tour I did on my own. Recommended.

Excellent tour with Sonia
Sonia gave us an excellent tour today. She was very informative about everything we saw in Pompeii. Such a fascinating place, made even better with a few hours spent with Sonia. We also had a great lunch and wine tasting stop after our tour. The wines were all good, and the food and service at the winery were also great.
Overall, a great day from our port stop in Naples.

Pompeii is a must-see!
Daniela did a wonderful job helping us understand the whole story of Pompeii. She kept a good pace - not too fast and not too slow. She spoke fluent English and took plenty of breaks as we walked a good bit. She said a an archeologist by training, but she also had a passion for sharing her love of individual stories. Pompeii is a must-see!

Our guide Liana really...
Our guide Liana really made us understand what the people of Pompei went through. She was so good. She left no stone unturned. The beauty of the tour is hard to describe. That said, my teenagers talked about they learned all day. We 3 agreed it was an experience we will never forget.

Great tour with knowledgeable guide
Our guide Riccardo was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting, even for our children.. It’s definitely worth booking a tour with an archeologist. It was easy to buy our entry tickets in advance aa required and everything was timely and ran smoothly.

Excellent tour!
Michaela is a wonderful guide. She taught us so much about Pompeii and Herculaneum and did it with humor and insight. Her depth of knowledge is impressive, but the experience was never stuffy or dry! The logistics worked very well - from meeting the driver at the port to our return to the cruise terminal in plenty of time.
One thing to be aware of is that the “small group tour” can have up to 18 or so people. However, Michaela handled the group well and I certainly felt that any questions were answered and we all got plenty of attention.

Pompeii was an amazing experience to learn about its ancient origins and how it was rediscovered after a devastating earthquake and a very powerful volcanic eruption.
To also know that the volcano is classified as active although it hasn’t erupted in many, many years.
This tour is highly recommended to see.

Lunch by the sea
Pompeii was wonderful, but the trip to Sorrento was amazing. Lunch by the sea was delicious, and they catered to those with special needs or allergies. They were very attentive to detail. Luca was a wonderful guide. He played photographer for us at stopping points, and he saw to it that we sampled local specialties like pastries, coffees, and lemon ice (and limoncello). What a glorious day!

Combination Pompeii and Vesuvius tour
I did the combination tour with Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. After taking the guided tour in Pompeii, I can’t imagine trying to stumble my way through that amazing site without a guide. Their process is pretty easy to follow. Just make sure you’re there 15 minutes prior to the departure and everything will work out fine. There’s also a place to store your luggage for five dollars a bag.
The Mount Vesuvius part of the tour wasn’t too physically taxing. They provide a shuttle and a guide for that as well. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

Pompeii is the crown jewel of Italy’s archaeological treasure trove, but this ancient site is sprawling and offers little posted information explaining its jumble of ruins. Pompeii tours bring the history of the Roman city to life with archaeologist guides who provide insights about its excavated art and architecture, focusing on the highlights to cover the site in just a few hours. Pair Pompeii with a guided visit to nearby Herculaneum, a wine-tasting lunch in the surrounding vineyards, a hike to the volcanic crater atop Mt. Vesuvius, or a scenic excursion along the Amalfi Coast for an unforgettable day trip.
