Excellent - Great trip. When train delayed able to WhatsApp team and this resulted in the bus waiting for us. Great guide and fantastic insight into both sites. Train comfortable and on way back realised how fast it is. Highly recommended. Pre trip info great including translation of train ticket and detailed information

Highly recommended Tour! - Our Guide Bruno was outstanding! His knowledge and understanding of the two towns was incredible. His presentation and speaking voice were easy to understand. I have been on other tours were the guide was good but I could not understand a lot of words due to accents. I would highly recommend this tour to people considering visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum. Also the place Bruno recommended for lunch was also a high point of the day!

Extraordinary! - Our tour guide, Paulo, was so knowledgeable and eloquent that the lives and times of the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum were vibrantly realistic for us. This was an outstanding experience, thanks, in part, to a gifted guide.

Great and Busy day at Pompeii and Herculaneum - The sites, of course, were amazing - but our guide made the difference, filling in the historical context and focusing on the most salient and I treating aspects of the Vesuvius disasters. We packed a lot into a day. All credit to the Askos staff.

Best way to see Pompeii when staying in Rome - Very well organized, incredibly informative, and fool proof. This was just what we needed to make our venture to Pompeii from Rome stress free and the site itself way less overwhelming. Genaro, our guide was wonderful, funny, and knew his stuff. He did a nice job making sure we saw all the highlights and understood the history behind the sites. Giuseppe, our driver, was also very kind and got us everywhere right on schedule. The tour company did a nice job selecting train times and making sure all the details were clear. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Rome wanting to add Pompeii to their Italian trip.

WE enjoyed the guide a... - WE enjoyed the guide a lot. Our only complaint is that he went too fast at Pompei and we had a hard time keeping up with his commentary as we were the last in the group of 14 and just as we were getting to the item he was discussing, he had moved on to the next - and we had to rush.
