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.
Meet the guide at the main entrance of the archaeological site called "Porta Marina Superiore". The guide will be holding a sign with our company's name "Askos Tours" on the top.

We arrived an hour early for our booked tour but the staff accommodated us & let us join an earlier tour. Roxanne our guide was amazing, she gave us so much information about Pompeii, she had such a passion which fed into the group we were with but she also made it funny, amusing & relaxed. All in all the most memorable tour of our trip.
Camillo knew how to entertain us in the best way possible with friendliness and knowledge!
A very good introduction to the city of Pompeii. Sergio was very pleasant, perfect tempo in the heat and full of knowledge. Recommend this tour without doubt!
Our guide Michele was wonderful. It was great to have personal ear pieces so we could hear him clearly. He made great stops and I feel like we learned a lot and he was extremely knowledgeable. We were very pleased with the experience.
Our guide Alessandro was terrible. We were a group of nine and he spoke so softly that nobody could hear him. He gave very very little information. He would just walk us from one place to another, which we could’ve done ourselves very easily. Nobody learned anything from this guide. On top of that, we had somebody in a wheelchair in our group, and he was absolutely no help and did not use accessible routes. Complete waste of money!
I wish to share a positive review for the tour that we took with Alessandra. I visited with my wife and two kids. Twenty years ago my wife and I had visited Pompeii (without a guide) but I think that we learned FAR more in this visit. I appreciated the chance to ask questions off Alessandra and that the group was not too large (about 10) , making it possible to do so. It was a great experience and i would recommend it to others.
How very impressive to have been here! Our tourguide (Ciro) did a fantastic job! We learned a lot and learned a lot! I would recommend this tour to anyone! Thanks Ciro!
The guide was okay, but the equipment was very poor so we couldn’t hear what she was saying. For the earphones to work, you need to be sitting 5 feet and we were 15 people so naturally couldn’t all be nearby. Otherwise, we just heard beeping. Our group decided to not use headphones, couldn’t hear, so just looked around. Many others had the same issue but there wasn’t anything the guide could do to fix it besides saying “come close”. We paid a lot for the tour to have it go to waste.
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.
