Amazing tour! We had three teenagers with us and they loved it too. Ivan was our tour guide and he was, not only extremely knowledgeable, but also so great to our entire family! Wear comfortable shoes - it's a long day. Bring water and snacks because you are walking a lot! I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Benedetto had a PhD in archeology and was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Would highly recommend. Raphaelle our driver was lovely and recommended a lovely place for lunch.

Ivan was an amazing guide. He was a wealth of information and was able to give personal context as he excavated some of the sights we saw himself. Ivan was engaging with our children as well. He was able to show us more interesting sections of Pompeii away from the large crowds of other tours.
Additionally, Giovanni was our driver for two tours during our trip. He was an excellent driver making us feel safe the entire time. He also took us for a wonderful breakfast and gave our kids little gifts. He is such a sweet man and we very much enjoyed our two days with him.
I would only use Askos Tours for any future trips to Italy.

The ASKOS driver Giovanni was really wonderful. His English was limited but communicated very well. He was clear on where we would meet after the school tour section. He was very pleasant and got a a back to the train station in plenty of time. His driving was excellent, we never felt nervous. Antonio the archeologist was excellent. It’s only a four star because there was so much ch to see and not enough time to absorb. But Antonio did a great job with the time we had. I suggest people don’t visit during The aster week! Other than that Italy was amazing.

We had a great day touring both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Giovanni, our driver, was amazing. He charmed our kids and was a great host.

This was an amazing experience! If you get the chance to visit Naples you have to book this tour. Our driver Giovanni was amazing to watch him drive with ease through the busy streets of Naples to our tour guide Ivan with an amazing amount of knowledge of both Pompeii & Herculaneum. Both made our trip special sharing the knowledge they have about Naples. This was a bucket list trip and they made it incredible.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide, Raphael, and an amazing driver Giovanni.
Raphael was very knowledgeable without being too technical, he was entertaining and funny too. Giovanni was a great driver, collecting us before the start, arranging a great lunch for our group and dropping us back to the start.
Can highly recommend this tour, Pompeii is magical, as is Herculaneum, I want to go again!

Booked a Pompeii/Herculaneum 1/2 day tour. Was awesome!!! Everything was perfect from the pickup point to our driver- Giovanni who was so great! He was informative and made the travel so enjoyable. He made reservations for us a restaurant which I thought the food was excellent. He assisted us with information on other places to walk and explore after our drop off. Once at the sites, Rafael made the tour enjoyable and fun with little jokes here and there. Totally impressed!!! We had thought to do the tour ourselves or even meet at the site and skip the transport. Using the transport made it easy, simple and enjoyable.

Thank you for an amazing experience. Emma and Annette xx
