We would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge our archaeologist guide Diego for his knowledge, humour and care today – in which he managed to successfully educate, entertain and navigate the 23 odd people in our tour to most highlights. He was a great ambassador for Askos Tours. Diego was miked up and we all had ear pieces, so you missed nothing. Highly recommend this format, you simply am not going to get the same level of insight and interaction through self guidance – well it suited us and our timeframe. Also recommend the chance to see both Pompeii and Herculaneum, both are fascinating and different to experience! And thank you Diego for a great day!

We had an amazing trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum, it was well worth the extra to book a small group tour and archaeological guide, don't hesitate to book it.

5 stars for the tour guide and driver. Luciano, the guide, was an excellent source of knowledge who really brought Pompeii to life, showcasing the best of it. The driver was also great.
1 star for Viator. This tour is not 8 people maximum. The minibus to the ruins is 8 people maximum but the group was 18 people. Luciano did a great job managing this amount of people round the ruins but if you specifically want a smaller guide to tourist ratio, this is not the one for you. This is down to Viator, not the tour group/guide.

Our guide Diego has a plethora of knowledge about both Pompei and Herculaneum, which he imparted with enthusiasm and cheerfulness. We saw SO much in both locations, and he made sure we saw both the “popular” sites and numerous other “off the beaten track locations.

NOT A SMALL GROUP
When advertised as 'Ages 0-99, max of 8 per group" to ' enjoy the personal attention of a small-group experience', one would think there will be 8 or fewer people on this tour.
WRONG.
There were 20 people with one archeologist.
VERY difficult to usher 20 people when showing specific items when only 4-8 people can actually 'see' at a time.
Went again to Pompeii the next day with another pre-arranged tour company and there were 12 people on that tour. Better tour with fewer in the group.
If you are OK with a medium size group (20 ppl) then you may enjoy this tour. The driver was very good and the archeologist was good.
Herculaneum, having fewer overall tourists, was easier to navigate with the group of 20 in the tour.

We travelled down from Rome and met up with our excellent driver, Giovanni. He took great care of us, making sure we got to the right places on time. Additionally he recommended a superb place for lunch.
Our guide, Antonio, was also terrific, pointing out many interesting details at both sites. Pompeii is (relatively) OK but Herculaneum is better. Although a smaller site, it's better preserved and provides a better view of what a Roman town looked like.

We had an amazing experience visiting the archeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We booked through Askos Tours and had transport in an air conditioned van from nearby to Naples Central train station Pompeii, Herculaneum and return. The van driver was great and helped us with directions in joining the tour and was very engaging during the brief ride to and from these remarkable sites.
Our guide Sergio is an archaeologist and was remarkable for his vast knowledge and great engagement with our tour group. We had an audio ear piece so we could follow Sergio’s commentary throughout. Sergio took us to the key locations in Pompeii and Herculaneum and he provided a rich commentary on the sites and the many pieces of interest including the 2000 year old fast food outlets, the people who perished and the many frescos, marble artefacts, tile entries and the remarkable sculptures, fossilised artefacts and more. Pompeii is vast and Herculaneum smaller by comparison but better preserved - both essential viewing.
Askos run remarkable tours of this site thanks to talented, knowledgeable and incredibly enthusiastic people like Sergio.
This is a must see for people visiting Naples.
