Really interesting tour. So much history dating back 2000 years. Guide Luciano was very knowledgeable and showed the group all of the best parts with photos. I was late and staff were great to get me to join the tour. It was not crowded and easy to take photos.

Signore Leone have a conscious and educational tour. He may have has to use many words sometimes to express some concepts, but the message was always communicated well and thoroughly. He didn’t walk too fast for my mother and was engaging enough for my 10yo. Plus, he came very prepared with his own visuals. I regret not tipping him more.

Out Askos tour guide Luciano was fantastic. So inclusive, passionate and interesting. He really helped us imagine what life was like in Herculaneum. A fantastic experience.

Luciano made our visit to Herculaneum something special. He kept our attention for the full two hours and introduced us to several ‘special treats’, keeping the spintria until last. Herculaneum is a magical place but Luciano added an extra level of quality to the visit. He has a superb grip of the archeology of the site and my wife and I were both very pleased to have booked this tour.

Our guide was Luciano, and he was excellent in all respects. He has deep knowledge and knows how to impart it to the group with engagement and enthusiasm. We loved every minute with him; the two hours seemed to fly by despite the heat, and we were sorry when the time with him ended. Luciano was one of the best guides we have had anywhere, on any trip, in any country we have visited.

Diego pointed out so many details we otherwise would have missed - so glad we had a guide. Skillfully lead us from shade to shade to protect my pregnant wife!

Didn't need to pre-book as site not busy. Small site but very interesting. If visiting independently of a tour some sort of guide is helpful.

We arrived at about 10am on a Tuesday out of term time. Place was quite quiet, and we didn`t need to have booked this ticket. We had a slight problem in that having booked, Askos didn`t send me the pdf of the ticket (which they send out the day before your arrival). However, the lady in the ticket office rang Askos who then called me on my mobile and sent it to me by whatsapp - I think that`s really excellent service by both the ticket office and Askos.

We had a most wonderful tour with Dr Luciano Leone, who was very knowledgeable and is an archeologist who works on the herculaneum excavations. He was so enthusiastic about his subject and he really brought the excavations to life. I would highly recommend this tour.

When I got to Herculaneum there was a tiny queue. I skipped it and went to the turnstile to be told I had to take my skip the queue voucher back to the ticket office and exchange for tickets that would scan at the turnstiles. So had to queue anyway!! I’m giving two stars, not one, on the basis that Herculaneum is amazing and that I may have misread the instructions but in hindsight would have taken a different approach to the day - maybe even a guide which we took at Pompeii.
