Top rated tour of Pompeii - We booked the 3 hour tour of Pompeii incl. the Villa of Mysteries (which is a must) in English and our tour guide (and qualified archaeologist) was fab - Michele. Perfectly paced (which was great given the heat) and brought to life what it was like to live in Pompeii at the time given his expertise. The radios they provide mean you could always hear what Michele was talking about and explaining without having to be right next to him (great for standing in the shade at times). It was definitely the best way to explore Pompeii, and happy to recommend Askos and Michele.

A journey through time thanks to an exceptional guide - Camillo Sorrentino is an exceptional guide: highly trained, engaging and with a deep knowledge of the archaeological site. He accompanied us on a journey through time with competence and passion, making each stage interesting and alive. Particularly appreciable is his attention to the needs of each person in the group: he managed to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for everyone, maintaining an adequate pace and offering always clear and stimulating explanations. A guide that combines professionalism and humanity. Highly recommended!

Alessandra is Askos Tours! The Best Experience. - The tour was easy to book through GetYourGuide.com. We got Alessandra and she is amazing. She will make you love archaeology. She explains everything so well and really captivates the group. It felt like the tour could go forever, it was that good! She was also just so kind to everyone outside our group passing by inside Pompeii. She is a must have from Askos Tours!

Ana Sorrento with Askos... - Ana Sorrento with Askos tours is a fabulous archeologist and tour guide. She made the tour so fun and has an incredible amount of knowledge of Pompeii. We also took the time after the tour to make our way to the amphitheater where Pink Floyd played in the 70s and that was amazing as well. Definitely worth doing the guided tour as the lines to get tickets at the door are extremely long. Go early in the day as well to avoid the worst of the heat.

Great tour - It was a great tour. Our guide, Julia, was perfect-knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful. Only one restaurant was open, but they had good variety and a decent amount of seating. We liked looking into the section that they were just excavating (but for some reason weren’t (officially) able to photograph

Unforgettable day in Pompeii. - Going to Pompeii had been on our wishlist for a while. It is even more beautiful than expected, frescoes in fantastic colors, impressive ruins of villas and workshops and breathtaking views. All this was brought to life in a fast-paced way by our guide/archaeologist Alessandra Sena. She told about the past in an extremely fascinating way with facts, facts and stories. A pleasure to listen to, the 3-hour tour ended way too quickly. We will definitely do it again.
