Pompei - Amedeo was so passionate about sharing his knowledge. Traveling with a guide you learn so much more than just wandering around on your own.

Awesome Trip to Italy - Giovanni was awesome! Even though we were running late, he was super patient and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. He gave us clear directions to get there and explained everything really well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Pompeii — it really made the experience even better. Overall, such a great time — thanks, Giovanni! From our Family Paz Narvaez

Excellent insightful presentation by Mario Ceccentano - Excellent tour with Mario Cecentano. We learned many things about Pompeii and the people who formerly resided there. We had an extensive outline of life as it was being lived in the society in Pompeii. It appears that many things that were unknown to most of us were brought out by Mario.. The society and the efforts to show others their wealth due to a competitive drive was made evident.

Pompeii in 2 hours - The Camillo guide led us to discover the most beautiful and interesting points of the site. He was really good, nice and helpful. The experience was super interesting and I recommend it to all those who are passing through and do not have many hours to visit or for those with children. Congratulations Camillo, super passionate and prepared😊💪

Great Private Tour of Pompeii - On a recent trip to the Amalfi Coast, our hotel arranged a private two-hour tour of Pompeii for us, which was with Jolanta of Askos Tours. Our experience with Jolanta was absolutely wonderful, and her tour was the perfect way to see Pompeii. We were a group of two adults and a one-year-old, and the thing I appreciated most about the tour was how accommodating Jolanta was of our needs throughout. We’ve been on other tours where the guide is rigid in terms of what we will see and how we will see it, but Jolanta made it clear from the beginning that this tour was ours, not hers, and that she would happily take us to see whatever we were most interested in. We were fine with her suggested highlights on this day, but she offered other options if we wanted to get a bit more off the beaten path within the site or see less busy areas. It was clear she had a wealth of knowledge about Pompeii and is incredibly familiar with it. From the very beginning of the tour, Jolanta met us right at the entrance to the site and was just really friendly and easy to talk to. When we had questions, even ones that were admittedly pretty basic, she answered them with ease and never condescension. Jolanta hit the perfect balance of being detailed enough in explaining the history of the city, but without going being too detailed or dense with the information either. Since she has a great knowledge of the park, she was also great at finding ways for us to see highlights without being in the worst of the crowds. When traveling with a small child, we also wanted to make sure the tour didn’t go over its appointed two hours so that our daughter could nap after, and Jolanta was great about that too. She made sure we had a great overview and had seen the majority of the main areas, including bathroom breaks, but we were also exiting the park right on time as hoped. Jolanta was kind to our daughter, always going out of her way to find shade for her, despite the fact that shade is scarce within the park and it was a hot, sunny day. We left this tour incredibly happy with the experience using Askos and with Jolanta in particular. We would highly recommend this tour company and tour guide, and would certainly do another one of their other tours in the future.

Excellent trip and tour of Pompeii - The tour was amazing and so much better with a knowledgeable tour guide (Jolanta). We first visited Pompeii in 1992 before lots of it was discovered, and it was so interesting to see it all now but also to have everything explained with the history of what life in Pompeii was like before the eruption. Jolanta spoke excellent English and provided a great tour.
