Mount Vesuvius Tour from Pompeii Led by an Expert Guide

Awesome experience And Mario, our guide, was great! The tool was very educational. We were fortunate to have great weather and was able to get panoramic views of the city of Naples and Pompeii.

Mario was an exceptional guide! He says he is not a geologist but he knows so much about Vesuvius and the geologic activity in the area and explains it so everyone can understand. He also maintained a pace that everyone could keep up. Grazie Mario! I hope we meet on another adventure one day!

We contemplated going to Vesuvius on our own but, opted to go with a guide for a more indepth informational experience. Our guide Mario was FANTASTIC and hit all the check boxes. His energy and williness to share and answer questions in a perfectly easy to understand manner was so appreciated. He was also mindful of providing rest stops when we needed them. Thank you Mario for amazing memories. And a high five to our driver Giuseppe for a calm and safe drive.

Mario was an excellent guide. He really got into the geology in a way we could understand. He was also very attentive to the different climbing abilities within the group.

A good trip, we had two guides, Mario for Vesuvius who was very good, he explained a lot about the history around the activity of the volcano. Then Julia was our guide at Pompeii and again she was very good. Knowledgeable about the history of Pompeii and entertaining. She made sure we were in the shade as much as possible which was very much appreciated. Our driver Genaro was also very good especially in the very narrow streets up to Vesuvius.

Perfect! I elitist highly recommend it. Mario our tour guide was great. The walk is tough but worth it.

Concise, witty and funny your. Guide was fantastic

From start to finish the tour was well organised. Apart from the Tiqet confirmation there was a follow up email from Askos from our guide Mario with clear meeting point instructions and a photo. After the 5 min publicised grace period waiting for a "no-show" we set off in the air-conditioned minibus during which Mario shared his knowledge of the region and the history of Vesuvius, and pointed out sculptures carved from the volcanic material commemorating the Pompeii victims. The walk from the minibus stop to the crater was paced cater for the varying ages and abilities of the group with Mario providing further insights and happy to take questions. We had ample time at the top to see the crater before making the return trip down the path and back to Pompeii. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and greatly appreciated Mario's guiding.

I visited Vesuvious on an excursion from Pompei, provided by Askos tours. The trip was great, well organised, and the tour guide (Mario) was knowledgable and friendly. The only downside was it happened to be the only cloudy day in a three month period! This limited the views somewhat, but it was still a worthwhile and informative trip.

Mario was our tour guide, and he was informative and entertaining. It was a hot walk, but glad I did it.
