Pompeii with Rossella as Guide - Rossella was AMAZING! I had booked a private tour for my mom and I to visit Pompeii. I wanted the trip to be a little special and personal. Rossella was extremely knowledgeable and had all kinds of interesting facts for us. It was a great experience. Thank you so much!

Very informative tour - There was so much to see it really helped to have a guide and Jolanda was excellent! She explained what to look for and the basics of life in Pompeii. It was very informative. Without a guide we would have missed some of the more interesting parts. Even after our tour she explained some of the other locations that we should visit. We spent about 5 hours there and only saw a portion.

Pompeii with a guide is a must! - You cannot visit Pompeii without a guide - there’s just too many small details to pick up on. Our guide Paolo was so knowledgeable and provide us with so much information / stories that made the experience so enjoyable.

Thank you Paolo for making this such a wonderful experience for us. You were fantastic!!! - My husband and I have always wanted to come here. Today did not disappoint and that was largely due to Paulo our guide with his incredible wealth of knowledge and his storytelling. Such a beautiful interesting place but at the same time quite emotional. Thank you so much 😊

Great tour, covered all the highlights and easy to follow - Great tour, easy to find. The tour was very well organised and it was great that we could stay and visit afterwards. Knowledgeable guide, fun and was able to give us a taste of what Pompeii was about and how the events unfolded. Recommend highly to gain some insight before exploring on your own, or as a highlight tour if you only have a few hours to spend there. The site is so big you wouldn't be able to do it all in 2hrs without someone explaining. Askos was also super friendly, easy to book online and well organised.

Excellent tour and experience - Pompeii was incredible and our guide, Sergio was very knowledgable. We covered a lot of ground and history in 2 hours and feel like we got to see the highlights of the city as well as places we would have had a hard time finding on our own. Highly recommend!
