Great experience - Great way to experience Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius! Our driver, Luigi, made the ride smooth, the transport was comfortable and great A/C. Perfect out of time for all activities and we'll organized. Would absolutely choose to do this again.

A fun full day at Vesuvius & Pompeii. - Our tour was very interesting and our guides were informative. Our day started with our wonderful driver Luigi who took us to Vesuvius. Our guide Mario was pleasant and made the hike up Vesuvius fun. In the afternoon, Anna Sorrento was our guide at Pompeii. She gave us alot of information about Pompeii and the remains though the tour was a little long by the end of a hot day. All is all, a great tour for our teens and us.

Fantastic trip, really well organised with experienced friendly guides - The travel to both sites was really well planned and executed, it made everything so easy! The vehicles used were air conned mini buses, which were very comfortable and had full leg room which is not always the case as we found out on other trips. Our versuvius guide Mario was really relaxed, friendly and super knowledgeable, he encouraged a slow pace and was really looking out for the people at the back of the group. At Pompeii our guide was again excellent, super knowledgeable and friendly and managed to get the group through some of top sites in a very hot Pompeii at a reasonable pace. The site is huge and exposed so remember to take water with you! Overall we felt it was great value and we thoroughly enjoyed it

History, culture, and Geology - Our guide in Pompeii, Guido, knows very well the history, archaeology, and life at the time of the eruption. Very good! Very interesting notes of mythology and art that you gave us! Our guide to Vesuvius, Mario, equally good, prepared, and interesting. Thank you for the geological, historical and cultural information. Very good both with English. Strong English language skills. Vesuvius and the view from there are breathtaking!

Fun and worth it - The tour was soo fun. There was soo much knowledge and the tour guides were really funny. The first tour was Pompeii with a lady (sadly can’t remember her name) and she knew a lot about the area. The second was Mt Vasuvius with Mario and he was great also. There was also the volcanologist at the top and he knew heaps and really gave some good insight into the scale of what happened. Great tour would recommend.

Worth the money - Lovely day, our guide inside Pompeii was amazing (I have forgotten her name, but it started with an F, and she is pregnant). She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us heaps of information. She obviously knew the sight and was able to navigate us around crowds well. Our trip to Mount Vesuvius was also amazing. Our guide Mario did a great job of making sure everyone was okay and was knowledgeable as well. It was great to see Pompeii from the top, with the help of Mario. The walk itself isn't long but can be slippy, so I recommend good shoes. The volcanoist also provided lots of great info that added to the experience. Highly recommend this tour, worth the money 😊

Not a guided tour - Changed the depart time 24 hours before with no explanation Tour pretty much only served to provide a driver not a guide Driver made us wait 20 min after Vesuvius portion which made for rushed lunch

Rather disappointing - Schedule of visits not respected We had to go straight to the Widow Actually we were picked up 5 people in Pompei before... Result: with the traffic jams we shouldn't have had we lost half an hour to get to Vesuvius and a guide (your nice ones by the way) who talks who talks all the time... even when he says he's going to shut up... Then Vesuvius disappointing as a volcano (but that's not your fault) Result when arriving on Pompei we had less than 30 minutes to drink and eat something (not nice with this heat) before the visit Guide Pompei very nice but visit very quick and not always relevant on the leagues (could not go to see the amphitheatre" too far" After a hole of more than 45 minutes without guide to wait in a parking lot a driver (late) with contradictory explanations about the place of meeting. There's a lot of organization to review because it wasn't that bad.

Avoid this tour - the tour started late, at 10am instead of 9:30. The guide dropped us off at Pompei and asked us to meet him back at the entrance at 1:55 pm to continue the tour to the other stops like the Pompei , Pompei forum and Vesuvius. We were waiting in the sun (33 Celsius ) for the guide from 13:40 until after 2 pm and the guide never showed up so I called Askos Tours and they told me that they had changed our tour without telling us! He asked us to look for another guide at the Pompei entrance (other than the original guide who told us he would take us to Vesuvius himself). On the tour with the new guide we went to the Vesuvius but the air conditioning of the bus was not working properly! As we came down from  Vesuvius, the 2nd guide asked us to get off the bus and they changed us for the 3rd time to another van (with a different driver) who took us back to Naples instead of continuing the tour to the other stops promised in the tour such as Foro di Pompei and Odeon teatro Piccolo ! And so the tour ended without going to all the stops specified on the tour's website. Total disorganization, terrible service, and they didn't meet the quality standards or even the schedule mentioned in the tour.
