考古学者とのポンペイとヘルクラネウム小グループツアー

Excellent but very hot, too much to do Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day.

Touring the Pompeii ruins with an archaeologist provided an incredibly in-depth and meaningful experience. His knowledge of the site was impressive, and he brought the ancient city to life through informative explanations and a compelling narrative of what occurred on that fateful day when Mount Vesuvius erupted. What made the tour especially enjoyable was his ability to blend historical facts with humor at just the right moments, keeping the group engaged throughout the visit. The tour gave me a much deeper understanding of the people, culture, and events that shaped Pompeii’s history. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants more than just a walk through the ruins and truly wants to understand the history and significance of Pompeii.

Vincenzo was an incredible guide through the absolutely awe-inspiring sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii. I admit we did not know what to expect, so were overwhelmed by the history, preservation, and sophistication of these ancient civilizations. Vincenzo really brought to life what it was like to live in those times, which confirms even more so that people have been the same all throughout history.

It’s a lot of walking over uneven ground which was fine for me but proved a bit hard on the more elderly people on the tour.

Very informative and educational tour. Carmine was such a wonderful guide. It was a very hot day but we did enjoy the tour.

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the visit to both sites was very informative and just about the right amount of time.

There is A LOT of walking, with little breaks, in extreme heat! There are also a lot of steps to go up and down, plus hills. Not for someone who has issues walking.

Like many travelers, we were a little skeptical when booking a tour. We spent a lot of time researching different Pompeii and Herculaneum combination tours, reading countless reviews to find the best fit for us—and I can honestly say that all of the positive reviews for this tour were absolutely right! Our guide, Vincenzo, was fantastic. The meeting point was a bit hectic at first, but only because there were so many tours gathering in the same area. While there were several Askos Tours signs, it would be helpful if they were more visible and clearly indicated which specific tour they represented. Once we made our way to the air-conditioned bus around the corner, everything was exceptionally well organized. We visited Herculaneum first, which worked perfectly. Vincenzo brought both ancient cities to life with his incredible knowledge and storytelling. He provided fascinating insight into what the people of Herculaneum and Pompeii experienced during the eruption of Vesuvius, while also explaining why Herculaneum is so much better preserved than Pompeii. His passion for the subject was evident throughout the day and he always made sure we had enough time to take photos and explore the highlights. A few practical tips: bring water and snacks if you'd like, as the tour runs from roughly 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (You can leave things on the bus!) There is a lunch break at a local mall, which was a welcome opportunity to relax, cool off in the air conditioning and recharge before heading to Pompeii. While the dining options weren't our favorite, the break itself was appreciated. Also, wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty! The terrain is uneven and much more challenging than typical Italian cobblestone streets. There are deep ruts and trenches throughout the ancient roads, so anyone with mobility concerns should contact the tour company in advance to discuss accessibility. Thank you, Vincenzo and Askos Tours, for providing such an informative, engaging and moving experience. It was both fascinating and humbling to learn about the lives of the people who lived in these ancient cities. The day flew by and we honestly could have spent another hour exploring Pompeii! We HIGHLY recommend this particular tour! Don't choose 1 over the other, see both cities!

Wonderful visit to two spectacular archaeological sites. Rosaria was amazing; she is an archaeologist and a very accomplished one, who made Pompei and Herculaneum come alive and allow us to imagine how was life there at that time. Highly recommended trip. Askos tours does not disappoint.

Great experience. Very comfortable bus with air con. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. You have an hour for lunch in Pompeii. They are lots of options to eat before you enter the site. Restaurants and cafes. In Herculeaneum, the only options to buy food or drinks are from the machines.
