We had a wonderful private tour with Diana, a very special experience, we regretted that the time was unfortunately over after 3 hours, it went by so fast, that probably says it all, we could have kept walking through Pompeii with Diana forever !!! 🙏👍👌🙂🌞

Magic private visit of Pompei
Excellent tour of Pompei. Over three hours with Ida who was a fantastic and well prepared guide. We loved seeing Pompei and would recommend Askos and Ida for best experience!

Incredible Tour with Ciro at Pompeii
We were advised by friends that we absolutely MUST have a guide to maximize our limited time in Pompeii, so we booked a tour with Askos. The communication was GREAT. Initially, because we were coming from a cruise and had to get to Pompeii to meet our guide, I got nervous and asked if we could push back the start time of our tour by a half hour. They responded quickly and accommodated us (easier I think because we were a private group of two). We received tickets and detailed information on where to meet our guide. When I realized we would actually arrive EARLIER than expected, I reached out and they told me our guide could be there 20 minutes earlier. A+ for communication AND Flexibility.
Some people may think this tour is very expensive and, for sure, it is not INexpensive, but the value we got for our money was incredible. Our tour guide was Ciro, a lifelong resident of Pompeii. He was truly a treasure trove of information. He kept calling us by name throughout the tour, making it feel personal and not the least bit generic. He shared so much information about the history of Pompeii, the eruption, the culture at the time of the eruption, as well as how the site came to be in the state it is in currently. His answers to our questions were insightful and thorough. He even shed some light on how the current residents in the surrounding area feel toward Mount Vesuvius and the potential for a future eruption.
I am certain that if we had tried to do this on our own, or even in a larger group, a great deal of the magic of this experience would have been lost. We visited some sites on our own in Rome on this same trip and pretty much wandered aimlessly, ending up with a “just okay” impression of some really cool places.
If you are visiting Pompeii, budget to allot for this tour and request Ciro. It will be the best investment you make on tour trip!

Fabulous tour of Pompei by Giulia
Family of three- we went on a three hour tour of Pompei with our archaeologist tour guide Giulia Musella. What a fantastic day! I am an archaeologist myself (not of the Roman Age) but I can vouch for Giulia’s archaeological expertise.. more importantly, she was a great speaker with an appropriate amount of humour and receptive to the group needs ( water breaks and shade in almost unbearable heat) so that our experience was really very enjoyable. I’m so glad we booked a tour and feel lucky that we had Giulia show us around and teach us so much.

Excellent 3-hour tour of Pompeii
We took a 3-hour tour of Pompeii last week with Alessandra, and it was outstanding. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a remarkable ability to explain the archaeology and bring to life the story of how the city was buried and preserved. Her engaging storytelling made the history fascinating and easy to follow. Although the tour lasted three hours, it felt like it was over in minutes. An excellent all-round experience that we would highly recommend.

Highly interesting tour at a historically significant location.
On May 5, 2026, we booked a 3-hour tour with the excellent and passionately conducted guide Pietro, via Get Your Guide.
Not only did he speak German exceptionally well, but his archaeological training and emotional explanations contributed greatly to making the time of this tour fly by.
What turned out to be fortunate was the timing of the tour starting at 2:30 PM, as there were significantly fewer visitors in the ruins of Pompeii at that time. Thank you very much to Pietro.

Take a tour guide every time!
Our guide, Nicoletta, conducted a very interesting and fun tour. Pompeii is an amazing place and she helped us understand the way it operated in much more detail. Thank you Nicoletta for a great experience.

The best way to understand Pompeii
Our guide Céline was excellent and very knowledgeable. Her archaeological experience of working at Pompeii excavations and abroad was invaluable in enabling her to passionately describe these fantastic ruins. A very worthwhile tour.
