Although we had many problems to arrive at the agreed time due to strikes and train breakdowns. They were attentive to wait for us and to attend us with kindness and patience. Roberta was a very good professional, enthusiastic and cordial at all times.

It was great, the guide was amusing and full of information that you would never be able to get from an audioguide or book. We saw all the highlights and he explained everything about how the town was buried, how it was excavated and what happened to everyone. I would highly recommend doing this guided tour and the guide was amazing.

Lively, personal, background knowledge. Perhaps not all the highlights were shown. We looked at a few things afterwards. But everything was very good for the time available for the tour.

Luciano Leone was a brilliant tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable. My family and I were super impressed and really really enjoyed our visit to herculaneum because of this tour. I would definitely recommend the tour as you learn so much about the place, things that you would completely miss without the guided tour- lots of hidden gems! Luciano talked a brilliant amount and his personality and humour shone through, which made the experience.

Our tour guide Luciano Leon was a perfect guide. A very detailed tour and you can tell how much passion he had teaching us about the history. Enjoyed it very much.

it was very good, our guide francesco was very sympathetic and fascinating by meeting anecdotes. The children really enjoyed the tour, which was much more interesting and lively than on our own. We were also able to stay a long time afterwards to enjoy other sights that we hadn't been able to see on the tour. We recommend this tour.

I would recommend 10/10! Our archeologist tour guide, Luciano Leone, was amazing! It's obvious he is passionate about his work, provides valuable insight and has a witty personality. Getting to actually walk in the actual places that people walked 2000 years ago was simply astounding.

Very nice visit in French with an archaeologist who explained the site well and showed us the most interesting places. Thanks to Francesco for a very informative and enjoyable 2-hour visit.

Easy to book at short notice online for the same day. We really enjoyed the archaeological site of Herculean and there was so much still intact and preserved. The only issue we had was our guide spoke too fast especially at the start of the tour that it was hard to understand him really has to concertrate. He kept apologising for his English it was better when he talked slower.

I booked a tour with a sample group and turned out yo be 20+ where we had to carry headsets to even hear the guide. Herculaneum is beautiful but we had hoped for a much more intimate personal experience

The booking was easy to follow and we were able to book last minute. Ilaria was knowledgeable and engaging. We wish the tour was an extra hour to finish the highlights of Herculaneum.

Askos tours could reschedule the tour as I change our plans. Everything was easy, the guide Michael gave a very thorough and interesting tour, making us feel his love for archeology. The Askos staff, like Simona, was very friendly and helpful. I recommend.

Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii, but being more well preserved, it offers walls and other surprises that can only be seen here.

Very knowledgeable and involved guide Explanations are necessary because Pompeii has very few complete buildings - all the roofs have collapsed. The site is huge and crowded - 3.5 million visitors a year!

Easy to book, easy to find the meeting spot, excellent communications. Best of all, our guide Giovanni was first class, knowledgable and articulate.

The tour of Herculaneum was brilliant and the guide, Danilo, was very knowledgeable. My only gripe may have been my own fault. I followed the directions in the email, thinking that was to the meeting point, wrong, it was to the backdoor of the Archeology Unit. On re-reading the email I found a second set of directions to the meeting point. My wife was not impressed with my navigating.

Everything was wonderful! The guide was very informative and entertaining. The only thing I would suggest is changing the picture of where to meet in case our others were literal like us. :)
