ANDRE was our archaeological guide at Pompeii. His knowledge and passion for this ancient city brought history to life in a way I could have never imagined.

Daniela Mantice was our guide, and as an art historian she really brought Pompeii to life in a wonderful way. From the history, the people, the cultures to the chemical reactions between Vesuvius’s storm and the city’s painted surfaces, Daniela’s span of knowledge was highly impressive. She has worked with one of the most renowned historian of Herculaneum and Pompeii on the planet, and I am sure he learned from her! She answered our questions and we enjoyed her liveliness and humor. I could not possibly recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic tour of Pompeii, an amazing place. The tour guide, Alessandra Sena has so many insights into the eruption and the devastation that happened. The excavation is truly inspirational. Thanks Alessandra and team

The Pompeii Ruins is a must-do with a guide since they have so much knowledge about the history and every detail on the ruin. We got lucky with the Askos Tours Guide Paolo since he’s an archaeologist. His knowledge on the ruins was amazing, and his pace on the tour was really good too. He kept us all engaged throughout the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour if you’re visiting the Pompeii Ruins.

Our guide Andrea was the best, he made the whole visit. He had a explanation for everything and made it easy to ask questions.

Location was easy to find. Our guide Paolo is interesting and knowledgeable. You could tell he was very passionate about the topic as well. I went for the 4:30pm tour and although it was a little rush to get through the places (some of the exhibits inside closes at 6) but there were also barely anyone in there so it was a much more enjoyable experience.

Very well organised and interesting. Our guide Rosselle was very knowledgeable and answered all questions on top of all the interesting facts she told us. Rosselle was also fun and approachable. The tour itself was better than I imagined.
