Great tour, covered all the highlights and easy to follow - Great tour, easy to find. The tour was very well organised and it was great that we could stay and visit afterwards. Knowledgeable guide, fun and was able to give us a taste of what Pompeii was about and how the events unfolded. Recommend highly to gain some insight before exploring on your own, or as a highlight tour if you only have a few hours to spend there. The site is so big you wouldn't be able to do it all in 2hrs without someone explaining. Askos was also super friendly, easy to book online and well organised.

Excellent tour and experience - Pompeii was incredible and our guide, Sergio was very knowledgable. We covered a lot of ground and history in 2 hours and feel like we got to see the highlights of the city as well as places we would have had a hard time finding on our own. Highly recommend!

Pompeii guided tour with Vincenzo - Fascinating tour with one of the site archaeologists, Vincenzo, who was very knowledgeable not only on the physical and cultural history of Pompeii, but also on how the archaeological investigations were carried out. I have to admit we were in two minds whether or not a tour would be worthwhile - having now done the tour I would say it is essential to understand the history and culture. After the tour, you can stay on the site wander around as long as you wish.

Focused information on your points of interest - Mena was the guide. She focused on what we were interested in- the remaining pieces of day to day art and the life style of the various people and positions. It was very informative and she was very patient with my focus on photos as well. We absolutely enjoyed the entire tour.
