Amazing experience! Wonderful to see Pompei. Best part was our guide, Julia. We became People of Julia for the two hours and we were happy yo be so. She made the history come alive by giving us interesting insights on what daily life might have been like, based on evidence and theory. As an archaeologist who had worked at the site, she knew her stuff and gave great answers to questions. She was also very funny. Made the experience for us! Also Aksos tours were very organised and it was so smooth in terms of comms and on the day. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide Vincenzo (aka Vince) gave a fascinating insight and stories behind the amazingly-preserved architecture and objects contained in these two lost city/town settlements. Even in 35 degree-plus Celsius temperatures and several path-crossing tour parties, Vincenzo along with the fleet of drivers and assistants with Askos all made sure the parties were well-catered for, insightfully-informed and expertly entertained from start to finish. I particularly found the stories behind the preserved graffiti, fresco designs and connections to Greek culture and mythology fascinating to hear. It all combined to bring these lost communities/civilisations back to life in such a detailed yet engrossing way for 21st century visitors. A+++++++

We have just got back from Pompei and it was great. Paolo was a fantastic tour guide and was so knowledgeable, approachable and charismatic. I've been to Pompei before but didn't have a guide, this was a mistake. I would now always encourage people to take a tour guide.

Overall a great experience and must do! The tour guide was an archeologist who worked at the Pompeii site. This gave our tour a unique perspective and was extremely knowledgeable about the ruins. Pompeii was larger than expected and many groups were lost. Not us! Our guide knew exactly where to go and made sure we stopped by the major highlights. Herculaneum was my favorite as it was less crowded and the artifacts were well preserved. We went on a hot day and our guide was very careful to stop us anywhere there was shade and even offered an extra umbrella for those less prepared for the heat and sun.

Rafael was our tour guide. Funny, witty, and very knowledgeable. Interacted with all of the group and encouraged questions. We had a slight challenge today in the a freak thunderstorm brewed up as we finished with lunch prior to the Pompeii tour. Luckily the worst seemed past as we all wanted to love forward with the tour (there was some thunder and lightning just before we started). Everyone in our group wanted to go forward with the tour and so we did. I learned a lot from Rafael. As I said he was not just a book or archeological “nerd”. Gave us the facts and the stories along with the mythological past that the peoples believed in. I loved every second despite the rain. I would highly recommend and hope many more enjoy Rafael’s humor and personality intertwined with history.

Our guide Raphael has led us through Pompeii and Herculaneum in a really interesting and entertaining way, allowing us to grasp the essence of the history of these beautiful sites. Pompeii is definitely huge and deserves a second visit for sure if you want to visit it all. I strongly recommend this tour for a first visit ☺️

A lively and immensely informative, educational and entertaining tour of Herculaneum with Dr. Luciano Leone, who very skillfully and engaging took us all through the secrets of the site. I can only highly recommend the tour and especially Dr. Leone who all by himself made a world of a difference. Thank you so much!

Luciano was excellent. Knowledgeable and passionate about the site. I learned so much and his binder of images so interesting. Highly recommended!

Except for warm and humid great tour, Mike was awesome and informative. And made the effort to help with the things like a good time for a toilet break or to refill your water bottle etc…

This tour was amazing. The archeologist explained many aspects about the life of the citizens of Pompeii in great detail, and this was an interesting tour. Pompeii has really cool ruins and the graphic design of inside the buildings is great.

Paolo was informative and entertaining and really brought the experience to life. The tour gave context to the site and enabled us to continue exploring afterwards with the tips we were given at the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

Excellent guided walking tour of the highlights of Pompeii. Highly recommended. The guide, Sergio, was a real archeologist, knowledgable, and enthusiastic. Well worth the tour price rather than just doing it self guided.

Our guide Sergio made the crowded hot beautiful ruins a lot more manageable. It was a really interesting tour, and our guide answered any questions very well. Starting our visit with a guide definitely helped!

Luciano kept us captivated throughout the tour with his knowledge and enthusiasm. He also pointed out some features easy to miss and preserved in the thick mud. Fantastic day and will definitely come back out of season when it is cooler to spend more time exploring this historical site.

What a fantastic day spent with our tour guide Giovanni! He was easy to spot once we got off the cruise ship. We had a semi private tour for our family of five and two other people. We started off with the drive to Positano for some picture postcard views. We continued on to Sorrento where we had some free time to explore. Could have spent a ton more time there but a good reason to plan a trip back. After that, we made our way back to Pompeii, but before then we wanted a place to have lunch and Giovanni recommended a great little out-of-the-way restaurant at the locals frequent. The food did not disappoint! After lunch, we hit Pompeii. It was hot! Giovanni was waiting for us after our tour right where he said he would be with the air conditioning on in the van! You could tell that Giovanni had a passion for his job and for the city in which he calls home. It was such a wonderful day. Thank you to Giovanni For sharing his knowledge and stories during our drive.
