Excellent 3-hour Private Tour of Pompeii - This 3-hour Private walking tour of Pompeii, with transfer from our hotel in Sorrento to Pompeii was excellent in every way and so educational. Our driver, Giovanni, was excellent and delightful. He showed us many points of interest along the drive, as well as providing us with a comfortable and pleasant drive. Our tour guide in Pompeii, Ivan, was a professional archeologist and so knowledgeable. He showed us the details of the excavated structures, showed us what life was like in Pompeii before the 79 AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, and took us to an area currently being excavated. Three hours was just enough time to scratch the surface of this amazing place, but I came away from the tour today with a new appreciation, thanks to our excellent guide.

Great experience in Naples and Pompeii - Excellent experience with Askos tours. Prompt communication via email and whatsapp. We did two tours - Naples walking tour and also the Pompeii tour with Ivan who is an archeologist, both of which were very interesting and informative. Our driver Giovanni who helped us with the Pompeii transfer was also punctual and drove very well.

History then & Now - We loved our private tour of Pompeii! Our guide, Vito, is an archeologist and therefore had such fascinating history to share about the area - including how people lived back then which is the most interesting to me (some things haven’t changed as much as we think!) He also knew where to take us to maximize our time & avoid the biggest crowds. I highly recommend this tour!

Unforgettable time! - My 82 year old grandfather and I had an incredible time touring Pompeii with our wonderful guide, Sergio! The adventure was filled with the perfect amount of walking (for an older guest), adventure (for a younger guest) and fun/ interesting historical facts for us both to enjoy! Highly recommend! Thank you Sergio!

Fascinating day in Pompeii!! - We had a wonderful tour of Pompeii with our guide Rossella. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and great with our teen!

Personalized private tour - Ivan was knowledgeable and interesting. We learned so much doing this private tour. My sister has a broken foot so we took it slow, avoided big crowds, found d places to sit and rest while he explained things. We were grateful for his knowledge and expertise.
