Pompeii walking tour 3 hours - We booked a guided tour of Pompeii, it was really good and got to see some of the highlights. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout, he was very easy to talk to and answered questions when asked. One of the best thing about it was you went to places you probably wouldn’t go by yourself. It’s also a great way to meet other travellers and get their experiences of other places.

Fabulous experience - Amazing tour of Pompeii by Francisca! We had a bus that was very late and the tour company, Askos, was extremely helpful. A representative met us at gate and directed us where to find the tour already underway. Very relieved we didn't miss much despite our late arrival.

I have toured Pompeii on... - I have toured Pompeii on my own before. This was a much better experience, especially because our guide is one of the archeologists at Pompeii. Fantastic information and great sense of humor too! Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour of Pompeii - This tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Yolanda, was so knowledgeable and she made the site come alive! She was also very caring and she made sure that everyone could keep up and have a short break if needed.

Excellent guidance - Teresa (Theresa?) could not have been more knowledgeable. An archaeologist born down the road in Naples, there was no question she couldn't answer as she has worked in Pompeii extensively. Funny, warm and friendly, she added greatly to our thrill of visiting one of the world's iconic historical sites.

Our tour guide was great... - Our tour guide was great and the tour was very informative. The headsets cut out quite frequently which made hearing the guide difficult at times or missing chunks of the tour.

Great Tour of Ancient Pompeii - Pompeii is an amazing historical place. And we loved the tour overall. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. He knew what he was talking about. However, we did not stop at a couple of the key sites that were supposed to be a part of this tour. That being said, we feel we got a great immersion into Pompeii and its history, art, and life. Grateful for the experience. The world is an amazing place!
