From Naples: Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius Day Trip

Our tour guide Rafaelo was wonderful, he made our visit a memorable experince. He is a great professionalist, with remarkable sence of humor, perfect organizational skills and ability to maintain attention. Thank you, Rafaelo :))

We really had a good time. Rosa our guide and Genaro our driver were very good. Pompeii tour was fun and climbing Vesubio was a whole experience. Lunch was delicious and overall tour service was good.

What I liked the most was the tour of Pompeii. The least, that in the message it said that it was optional to go to Vesuvius but that was not possible, because the agency with which we hired told us that this could not be and that they have already told you to remove it from the message.

Good transport and organisation. Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum. In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit. This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day.

The ticketing experience was fine and the reminder with information about the trip was helpful. We loved how knowledgable our guide Michele Lamberti was and how well he was able to provide context for the sites. Now- less positive feedback is that one of the us seats was seriously broken and the passenger in front of me had her head in my lap because of the broken seat. Also, two of the people on the bus where extremely rude and took our seats and we would have appreciated the guide stepping in and asking people not to"steal" other people's seats.

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!

I didn't really go, I didn't make it to the bus, but I managed to contact the organizater and got my pompeii entrance ticket and used them to go on my own. 10/10 communication experience

I was very interested to see the preserved buildings and to hear about the ways of life of citizens of Pompeii and Herculaneum. BUT I did not experience our visit in the way others have told us they responded to their visits. They talked of remains of people in the act of fleeing. I believe we missed seeing some interesting aspects of Pompeii (maybe in underground areas). Our Pompeii tour lasted only one and a half hours. Our guide spent too much time telling us about penises and brothels. We'd have enjoyed hearing about individuals and their histories: the guide could have given us a much better idea about the absolute tragedies in many families. He didn't seem caring or affected by the awfulness of it all. We'd have liked much longer there -- but of course we could have limited ourselves to a whole day at Pompeii, so the fault is partly mine!

Very well organized trip, meeting points clear and easy to find. Enough time in each place to see everything. We highly recommend this activity, which allows you to see 3 emblematic places close to Naples in one day!

The Organisation was great. Unfortunately the tour in Pompeii was just 90 Minutes and the Guide wasn't very motivated.

Sergio, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgable (an experienced archaeologist) and brought the lives and deaths of the people of Herculaneum and Pompei in to a respectful focus. I would encourage anyone to go on an Askos tour.

Very nice tour guides, sights worth seeing, delicious food. Unfortunately, as always, we went through the tourist stores.

Our guide was Sergio, from Askos Tours; a very knowledgeable and friendly archaeologist. It was my first time in Pompeii and Herculaneum. I was amazed by how intact it looks thousands of years after being buried and how much insight has been gained into the way of life back then. The trip was very well organised and went at a good pace.

Staff was excellent and professional. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I would have liked to have seen the plaster castings taken of the romans

Our guide is very funny and able to take us to roam around both huge sites in a heat wave. He's very precise and detailed.

The organisation and logistics to get through so much in one day was great. Could not have managed it independently. It is fast paced but we saw loads and it was stunning. A bit more warning to bring own food and about the terrain would have been helpful

In general, the experience was good - well-guided, but with headsets that allowed us to view things in our own time and not always stick close to the guide. The guide's Italian accent was a little heavy, so I wasn't always sure whether other guests (including my kids) were able to follow what he was saying, especially when he used Italian names for mythological characters that the general public might not know as well to begin with. I also can understand how one guest in our group was confused about the initial meeting place - while I was able to figure it out, it could have been made even clearer, perhaps in direct communications from the tour operator to all the guests.

Great! From start to finish. Everything was explained, and it went according to plan (from start to finish). We even had a nice surprise (lunch) that we didn't know was included. Super safe and quick to book.

Have Michele as our guide was worth the price of admission. His knowledge and expertise made the experience worth every penny. Stephen Pitt

Everything went very well, pick-up was on time, transportation was pleasant, meeting points were well described. The trip was very interesting, with enough time at all stops (Vesuvius, Herculaneum, Pompeii). I would do it again!
