Perfect choice for Pompeii - The private tour was the perfect choice for seeing Pompeii! Rossella was warm and friendly and knowledgeable- just perfect. She managed to show us less crowded but equally fascinating corners and houses, ushered us through popular sights and was always relaxed and exuded passion, humour and generosity. We learned so much and feel we saw everything. Now on to a visit of the Archaeological Museum in Naples, an important addition to our visit to Pompeii. We highly recommend booking with Askos.

Excellent experience - Worth every penny!!!! It’s beneficial to book a tour in Pompeii in order to gain the insights of this city and the tragedy, rather than trying to figure it out by yourself. Alessandra, our tour guide and archeologist was the bomb! She was highly knowledgeable and such a great storyteller. Also presented the insights so easily digestible and engaging and answered all of our questions with a delight :) You can tell that she loves her job as an archeologist and tour guide.
I would highly recommend you to book this activity :)

Great Tour Guide! Loves to share his home and knowledge... - The guide made the tour. This is often the case. Diego was the name of our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and considerate of the group. There were older individuals in the group and he often asked if the group wanted to press on. The transportation was fine, but the back left wheel made a sound on turns that caused many to have concern. However, other than this everything was great. The weather was rainy, but overall pleasant and the group took full advantage. My name is Matthew and my tour was on March 13th. Diego made Herculaneum and Pompei come alive. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much)

Don’t waste your money with this vender - If I could give a zero star I would. Do not spend your money with this vender. They are an Italian based company and was made aware of a national train strike over 48 hours before the actual strike, but waited to communicate until an hour after the deadline to request a refund. This is blatantly intentional and they collected money for services on rendered. When I attempted to reach out to them and communicate, they were extremely unhelpful and very rude.
