Experience worth the heat

Dan_H, Jul 2024
Amazing perspective on a unique time in history. Our fantastic guide really helped bring to life Roman life during the period surrounding a great tragedy. The focus is very much on the city and people themselves, as opposed to the volcano. Bring lots of water if you go during the summer—hot but worth it!

Great tour guide but missed a lot of advertised sites

Stephen_D, May 2024
I enjoyed the tour and Paulo was fantastic. He was very informative and knowledgable; however, we probably only saw half of the sites the tour advertised as the itinerary for the tour. Not sure why we didn’t see all of what was advertised?

Response from Host, May 2024

Your tickets included is for the day, after the tour you can explore by yourself as long as you like.

Tour of Pompeii

David_L, May 2024
Pompeii is amazing. The preservation is incredible. Make sure to where good walking shoes and plan to extend your stay to see more key sites. I was assured that our tour included the House of Vettii but the guide said the wait was 20 mins. We went back and walked right in. So slightly disappointed that I was told one thing but not provided what was promised.

Phenomenal tour of indescribable place

Courtney_P, Apr 2024
Absolutely incredible tour. We were given the wrong meet-up location, but contacted the group when no one showed and they not only got us there but the tour guide waited for us to start! Teresa with Askos Tours (listed as Pompei Trip & Transfer in the app) was amazing, so knowledgeable, entertaining, and went the extra mile to ensure we got to see as much as possible and stayed late to answer our questions after the group tour was done. Having a real archeologist lead was fantastic, because she taught along the way and helped us learn how to date the things we were seeing, fit things into the context historically and culturally, and presented popular and alternate opinions on how to interpret the digs. Absolutely amazing, highly recommended!

Awesome tour

Our tour guide was incredible. We walked through the ruins and she explained the history and answered all of our questions. - Connecticut, USA

Hot but cool!

Best part of the tour was going through the main road and finding shades spots. Alfredo was very knowledgeable about the city.
