5.00It’s definitely worth it. I’d like to thank to both of our tour guides, Paulo in Pompeii and Mario on the Vesuvius trip. Both trips were very informative, the guys did a brilliant job by not only sharing everything that needed to be known but bringing their energy and creating good vibes during the whole trip. They were paying attention to everyone making sure we all were comfortable on the tour. I recommend the experience to everyone and would like to repeat it as soon as I can. Cheers to you guys, Márton

4.00A very beautiful visit to Pompeii accompanied by Teresa. A small group allows for a better enjoyment of the visit and the opportunity to ask our questions to the guide. A beautiful hike on Mount Vesuvius. Mario was a good guide. Some information was a bit redundant with the visit to Pompeii, the guide's information, and that of the seismologist.
Great value

5.00We were 4 in out group and were very lucky to have two excellent guides: Mario at Mount Vesuvius and Sergio at Pompeii. They were both very knowledgeable, super friendly and very happy to answer all our questions. The whole tour was very well organized: leaving on time in a comfortable bus with an excellent driver. We strongly recommend Askos.
Great tour! Sergio was very informative and engaging. 5 starts!

5.00We did Pompeii and the Vesuvius hike. Antonio was a perfect guide through Pompeii. I only wish we had more time! Combining the two activities wasn't ideal for us because we would have liked more time to walk around on our own. The Vesuvius hike was well worth it and a good workout. The views were amazing.
Great team and great experience in Pompeii

Poorly managed

2.00The tour company was extremely disorganized and not well managed. They messaged us to say we needed to change times to 20m before the booking which would have been fine except then they were 40 min late. Then they miscommunicated the time we needed to meet the driver for the Vesuvius tour so we missed out on an additional 1hr and a half in the park. Then the driver was also late for that. The whole time communication was very poor. The his was the worst tour I’ve ever had.
Amazing

5.00The archeologist, Chiara, was very knowledgeable about Pompei. She did some work there among other places and could answer any questions the group had. It was an amazing tour.
