Pompeii 2-hour Private Tour with an Archaeologist-Ticket included
Description
This 2-hour classic tour will give travelers the chance to discover the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, buried by the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD eruption. The guide specialized in archaeology shows the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city – the main houses and buildings, and also the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations. Pompeii has been inscribed in the World Heritage Patrimony from the UNESCO Committee since it gives a clear picture of the Roman society and daily life at a specific moment in the past, nothing else similar exists in the world. A 2-hour guided tour with an Archaeologist will help understand what life was like during the Roman Empire and give the feeling that tourists have time travelled to that specific moment.

Our Antonella was excellent: happy to answer our questions, gave us lots of information we wouldn't have got from a guide book. The tour was interesting,informative and fun. We really did learn an awful lot. Thank you
Chaotic at meeting point, there were no represensitives at meeting place till after alloted time. We were advised to get there early !! It transpired that the first Sunday of every month is free to enter, we had paid. Also we were thought that prebooking meant not we did not have to join the queue, it transpired this was not the case . Fortunately out guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining, making the tour worthwhile.
We had a great tour. Ciro was a true raconteur who really brought Pompeii to life with historical facts and juicy anecdotes. Perfect to keep both adults and kids entertained and forget the heat!
I have studied Ancient Rome and Pompéi extensively. Our tour guide got the majority of the facts wrong. The guide herself did well articulating her script, but the information was incorrect. Some ideas (mostly in the house) were correct, but the terminology was wrong. Disappointed.
Really enjoyed the tour with Jolana, very knowledgeable and she covered everything so well.
We had an amazing time exploring Pompeii with Jolanta. She was knowledgeable and approachable and went at a pace that allowed the entire group could keep up. The two hour format was perfect to get you in Pompeii, get you acclimatized and then let you explore on your own. Jolanta took a lot of individual time to help guests understand how the massive site was laid out. She was informative and had many fun facts that kept our English speaking group laughing. The equipment Askos uses for the tours worked great. I didn’t hear a single person complain that they couldn’t hear. A really nice morning!
Excellent tour made exceptional by our guide, Jolanta. Her knowledge of Pompeii was incredible, and she brought the history to life in such an engaging way. Friendly, passionate, and clearly an expert — we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended! We actually had the 3 hour private tour but find the option for that!
Jolanta with Askos Tours was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, articulate and made the history of Pompeii fascinating from start to finish. She was easy to listen too and very engaging, she really brought the site to life . Highly recommended! Also need to give our driver , Fabio a 5 star review as well. He picked us up from the airport drove us to Pompeii. He then picked us up at the conclusion of our Pompeii tour and brought us to our hotel in Sorrento. He was a wealth of information about Naples and Sorrento, made a stop along the coast so we could soak up the glorious views and took pictures of us!
The visit to Pompeii with guide Sara Incarnato was decidedly positive. Very prepared and passionate, we never felt that it put us in a hurry to jump to the next point to visit. After the greetings he invited us to continue the visit independently. Even if equipped with a map it is not easy to find your way around this city but the fact that you have already covered it with a guide has allowed us to move in a more casual way. Thank you Dr. Sara! 6 tourists from Padua
Sara is a trained and attentive guide. His task was to try to give us a general "flour" of notions in order to understand (as much as possible) and fully appreciate the history of a place of immense, but also dramatic beauty. Pompeii is in fact not only a spectacular "still image" (so incredibly current!) of what life was like in a flourishing city almost 2000 years ago, but also the testimony of a tragedy, imprinted instantly on the faces of the famous Pompeian casts or in the amphorae remained in the exact position where they were leaning against a wall, the last time a human hand touched them, in that autumn of 79 AD.
