Great tour with great guide! - Without Jolanta it would be abonded place with rocks all around us! With her as a auide everything get sence: every desert street, house, sign. We heard lot of interesting stories, data to remember. Good thing is that the tour is just as long as it should be. And of course it was a perfect time of the year to visit Pompei

Pompeii to discover - We booked the visit with an archaeologist Mr. Camillo who was truly exceptional in presenting Pompeii with anecdotes and testimonies that we would not otherwise have discovered. Top experience to try! Highly recommended!

Simply the best way to explore Pompeii, with Alessandra as your guide. - I cannot begin to describe how amazing the guided tour was. Alessandra was spectacular with her depth of knowledge and skills of an excellent guide providing wonderful insights into the daily life of a Pompeii resident and encouraging you to imagine the splendour of the place that once was. I would absolutely recommend the guided tour as opposed to exploring by yourself, which you can always do after the tour. Plan to spend a good part of the day at the ruins as there is quite a lot to explore. Tip: Ask to be booked on tour with Alessandra and you'd have an amazing time.

Entertaining & comprehensive tour! - Toured Pompeii with Alessandra as my tour guide. Highly recommend - great experience. She was able to answer all extra questions and it really made a difference to have someone so knowledgeable in the field explain little things that would have been missed without a tour guide. Tour was the perfect length and covered things well, and Alessandra was very entertaining!
Note: the 2 hour tour only includes Pompeii Express ticket. If you want to see the other villas, choose the 3 hour option.

Excellent tour with Sergio - Sergio was fantastic, the whole tour was very interesting and informative. Group was not too large, and went for two hours. Great as an opener before exploring Pompeii freely.

Chaotic organisation (But followed by an apology) - Our experience with Askos Tours was disappointing, mainly because the organisation was outright chaotic. There seemed to have been serious misunderstandings inside the company, because one day before our tour we were asked via email if it had already taken place. In return, my query about how we were supposed to find or to recognise the guide wasn’t answered. As a consequence, we weren’t able to find our guide the next morning. After I complained via email, I was called an hour later and offered another tour on the same day. That tour, however, started only twenty minutes delayed. At the time, we were neither provided with an explanation nor given an apology for the aforementioned chaos.
(Update: I was contacted by Askos Tours two days after publishing my review. I was given an apology and offered a full refund. That's why I improved the rating from two to three stars.)
