Herculaneum and Pompeii - Excellent - The train and van connections worked beautifully. Janero was an excellent guide and very kind and patient. The tours of Herculaneum and Pompeii included everything I wanted to see and more.

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.

Excellent historical and archaeological tour - Excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and told the history and archaeological story very well. It was particularly interesting to see both cities, because their stories were different. Guide also did a great job distinguishing between the two and showing us important parts in each place without duplicating.

Great day trip to see Pompei and Herculaneum - Excellent driver (Giovanni) and guide (Raphael) Both of these guys were the best! Welcoming, informative and so helpful. Raphael was very witty, lots of information and very entertaining. Nothing but great things to say…now if you could just dial back the sun that would be something! Lol…kidding of course!

Great tour…just pray that the train they set up for you is on time. - The tour itself was excellent. However, the train that was selected by the tour company was delayed and the tour group left without us. The tour company did not provide alternate transportation for us to catch the tour group so we had to pay 75 euro over and the $1800 we paid for the tour to meet them at the first stop. I requested that the tour reimburse us since the delay was completely out of our control and it was their train selection that was late. They completely ignored my request. Buyer beware…

Tour was great, lunch. .. - The tour was great but the lunch stop could have been organized better. When stopped we were given 1 hour but the restaurants were full. We waited 35 minutes then got up and grabbed a quick sandwich that we had to eat while standing in the street. Maybe having a designated space at one restaurant that was scheduled would have worked better.

Pompei Herculaneum magic - Our tour guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable & fun. He took us to his favourites & the most archaeologically important areas. The bus driver was great, we really enjoyed travelling with him. I saw parts of Pompei that I hadn't seen before & I was thrilled to visit Herculaneum. Highly recommended.
