We booked from the port in Salerno while on a cruise. Francesco was prompt waiting for us at the end of the gangway. He was courteous, knowledgable, friendly, and provided excellent music for our drive to Pompeii. After our tour of Pompeii he drove us to eat lunch at the Casa di Amelia which has fabulous authentic Italian cuisine. Finally he was even able to accommodate our request to visit Mt Vesuvius so we could climb to the top. Without Francesco our stop in Salerno would not have been the same! I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family visiting Italy.
We booked a private tour with Paolo, who gave us a three hour tour of Pompeii and who set up lunch and wine tasting at Bosco de Medici (see my separate review). Paolo also arranged a private driver, Francesco, who drove us to and from Praiano (on the Amalfi Coast) and who accompanied us on a tour of the winery. What great choices! Paolo is an archaeologist with experience in Pompeii (among other sites) and our three hours with him were fantastic! He pointed out many details that we would have overlooked had we been on our own. He took the time to explain what the residents of Pompeii must have been going through at the time of the eruption. He also showed us several different kinds of buildings and even showed us how the streets were laid out. Paolo explained the differences in private homes based on the status of people, and showed us the public meeting areas as well. Paolo taught us a great deal about Pompeii and we were lucky to have him as our tour guide! Our driver for the day was Francesco, and he was fabulous! Francesco is very friendly and you can tell he loves his job. He picked us up on time at our hotel in Praiano and kept us entertained with his awesome music playlist. Francesco gave us a tour of the Amalfi Coast during our drives. He also accompanied us on our tour of the winery. Being a Pompeii native, he showed us several points of interest there. He even stopped at a ceramics shop in Positano on the drive back. Overall, it was wonderful spending time with Francesco! The wine tasting and lunch were at Bosco de Medici, a winery right in Pompeii. Their main vineyards are on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. The wines we tasted (courtesy of Anthony) were delicious, and we ordered a case to be shipped to us. Lunch was very good. After lunch, Davide took us on a tour of the winery. He was very friendly and gave us a great tour. Overall, this excursion was fantastic. We definitely recommend Askos Tours, and will use them again in the future.
<p>Excellent guide, Giorgio. Very knowledgeable, and accommodating for our family group.</p>
