A mind blowing experience. - The guide, Rafael, was amazing! The route was well planned but she had a depth of knowledge that enabled her to answer the random questions thrown at her by the group. The organisers of the tours on the day were super efficient and really helpful.

Guided tour with Archaeologist (Camillus) to the of Pompeii - Highly recommended experience, the Pompeii excavations are breathtaking. The guided tour is essential to optimize time in the very large space. We booked the guided tour with archaeologist on Headout and found Camillo to welcome us. Camillus was exceptional, he plunged us into the Pompeii of the first century after Christ. He illustrated different environments in great detail, transmitting all his passion. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had Camillo as our Guide.

An incredible way to experience an unmissable Italian landmark. Worth every penny! - My mother and I are not normally "guided tour" people. We generally prefer exploring things on our own. However, at the recommendation of multiple people who said Pompeii is worth getting a tour for we decided to book with Askos. And oh boy am I glad that we did. Alessandra, our guide, was an archaeologist who helps with the excavations every year. She not only gave us an incredibly informative tour, but was able to offer her own expert opinions and insights that were a huge enhancement to our experience. She gave a much needed context to all of the things we were seeing and provided the archaeological perspective on the site as well as the historical perspective. She was incredibly kind, she answered all of our questions, and made the visit all the more unforgettable. Plus, the earpieces provided made the tour accessible to those of us who are a little hard of hearing. If you are looking to visit Pompeii I highly recommend having Askos show you around.

Tour was great travel instruction a bit confusing - Tour was great. Our instructions to meet were NOT great. Because there are two train stations at Pompei which we were unable to find out before travelling there. We got off the train at Pompei which left us with a 24 minute walk or a 20 euro taxi. Later to learn about the other station which is a 2 minute walk.
