The guide: Alfredo was very interesting. His explanations were complete, clear and precise. He was able to differentiate between antique and contemporary elements.

Although it was a lot of walking we did see some amazing things and we took a live guide as a last minute upgrade. The form of an encased woman who died during the volcanic eruption.
Taking the train there was a bit challenging and our friend had his prescription glasses ripped off. We did take a lunch with us that was good. I think in our case an audio guide would have been better as we could take our own pace.

Arrive early to avoid the crowds... the site is smaller and more intimate than Pompei. Superb conservation/restoration work. Small museum next door for a glimpse of everyday objects... perfect audio guide!

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. :)

The guide was very kind and always gave us time to take some photos. Furthermore I liked the fact that with one ticket to one of the 2 catacombs you had the opportunity to visit the other one for free!

We had a lovely day. The tour was well organized, starting with the vesuvius. The time to visit the top of the vesuvius was well calculated, without rushing too much. Then a free tour of Pompeii.

Electronic tickets can be used directly at the entrance, with no need to exchange them at the cash desk.
With the audioguides, the tour of the site is complete and the explanations useful.
The walk back to the train station may seem long after the site visit.

I'd have to rethink the organization to get my tickets, knowing that I'd already paid on the Internet. I had to wait 45 minutes in line and I don't think that's right. The site is clean and pleasant.

Spending the day in Naples with City Sightseeing Hop on Hop off was a beautiful, unforgettable experience! We got on and off the bus in different parts of the city and the coast, exploring so many wonderful places without walking too much and in a short time. The bus staff was friendly, and in addition to the cultural audio guide, the beautiful Neapolitan music accompanied us during this wonderful tour!
Enjoying the day in Naples with Hop on Hop off (Headout) was a wonderful, unforgettable experience! It allowed us to hop on and off in different parts of the city and the coast, to explore wonderful places without walking so much and in a short time. The bus staff were friendly and, in addition to the cultural audio guide, beautiful Neapolitan music accompanied us on this wonderful tour!
Passar o dia em Nápoles com o City Sightseeing Hop on Hop off foi uma experiência maravilhosa e inesquecível! Subimos e descemos do ônibus em diferentes partes da cidade e da costa, explorando lugares maravilhosos sem caminhar demais e em pouco tempo. A equipe do ônibus era simpática e, além do audioguia cultural, uma bela música napolitana nos acompanhou nesse passeio maravilhoso!

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.

First of all, thank you for this day. Even though it's over 600km from Rome, it was worth every effort. Seeing Pompeii is a highlight. Superbly preserved, you get a wonderful insight into Roman life. Via Appia Antica is an orphan compared to the roads here. The paintings are also very well preserved. The funniest thing we found was the 90 fast food stations for local residents.
At first we were worried that we would only see a small corner in the two hours. But our local guide had a great route and we were able to see a lot.
Vesuvius was much more stressful afterwards. You are chased up the mountain on a full stomach and have to be back down at a certain time. I can say one thing. We're not the least fit, but it was close. We were two minutes late.
One criticism in passing. The restaurant for the toilet break is outrageously overpriced. From time to time the trip feels like a coffee run.
But let's put that to one side, you can decide against it and not buy anything. The day was great and we would book it again and again.

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

Plenty of time to explore the site... We hadn't booked lunch or an audioguide, but it was flexible and we could add those extras on the day. Our guide was so friendly and helpful. We loved it!
Paola

The fact of no queues in a month like this and with excruciating heat in my opinion is very important. No problems at ticket control everything worked great thank you very much 😘

The setting and the drawings at the start. Shame the Caravaggio's were on tour.
Also the signage is not good or interesting enough. More curating please.
Paula
Having the opportunity to visit, learn and deepen one's knowledge of local culture with an organized and well-functioning service like Headout's, when one is a traveler in our time, where it is not always and not for everyone easy to carve out time for culture, is a great opportunity. Even more so if the people who accompany and lead these visits are knowledgeable, professional and at the same time passionate about the topics they exhibit. So recognition to the work of the perosne of Headout and specifically many kudos to Carlo Zarone.

Perfect balance of historical facts and social context. Delivered in perfect English and the added bonus of a Bluetooth headset to ensure you never missed a thing. Great value for money and highly recommend.

Incredible experience. Audio tour on the phone provided was very informative. The digital map was particularly useful. I enjoyed being able to choose my own route and see Pompei at my own pace, with the option to listen to detailed background information at my leisure. Would recommend!
Dominique

The reception of the hostesses for the reservation, which had not been transmitted correctly but which was effective. Timetable respected. My advice: Arrive early at Pompei scavi station. To meet at 13:00, take the 11:44 train to Naples.

It arrived promptly by email
I wasn't however aware that in addition to the tour I would have to buy an entrance ticket. This I feel should have been made clearer
The tour leader was very helpful and knowledgeable and made our visit to the museum more enjoyable
Massimo
Italy
Interesting and exciting visit to underground Napili. The other visits were also beautiful...But too bad that many exhibition spaces were closed for maintenance. I am referring in particular to the Capodimonte Museum and the Royal Palace. Convenient for transportation was the help of the red double-decker bus on off (for the best view the blue line, while the red line to the center would have been most useful and quick if there had not been untold traffic on foot and by vehicle. Naples is now at the edge of tourist overflow. Soon it will have to be treated like Venice!).

La passione della nostra Guida, la volgia di far conoscere non solo la storia di napoli ma come la parte buona della società odierna sta impegnandosi per riscattare l'immagine di una società troppo legata al passato

Beautiful experience, definitely worth the visit. 10 and praise to our guide, Emmanuel, he was able to make us appreciate the history of the catacombs and the neighborhood!
Well done everyone!!!

The tour was straightforward and didn't waste your time by running you through a presentation before or after trying to get you to purchase something. Fabio was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. It rained the day we went but I'd like to say it was more enjoyable that way as it didn't seem very crowded for a Friday. The train was perfect to get to and from as long as you don't mind the 10 minute walks.
Roisin

The views from the mountain were amazing. The lack of engagement/information/detail by the tour organirer in terms of meeting the guide on the mountain was very disappointing. Essentially u were left to own devices in terms of getting up and down in time and it was tight.. I am glad I did the trip but other trips may b better organised.
Silvia
Italy
Well organized day. The visit with audio guides satisfactory. I recommend entering the code before leaving the office xbecause it may not work and before entering the palace check the app x know how to proceed.

The trip went very well. Time on site was minimal, but we were able to get an idea of what these cities were like. The audio guide in Pompeii was not intuitive at all, so I gave up listening to it and concentrated on the visit. Very well organized guide!
