Exciting experience - We took the tour with the archaeologist Grazia D'Onofrio. It was an exciting experience. The doctor was very good and conveyed her emotions to us, making us experience a typical day in Pompeii at the time. We were under torrential rain but we didn't realize it, his story was so engaging. We highly recommend this experience to everyone. Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the doctor for everything. Thank you for revealing the secret of culinary art to us.

You Can’t Find A Better Guide to Pompeii! - Daniela Mantice was our guide, and as an art historian she really brought Pompeii to life in a wonderful way. From the history, the people, the cultures to the chemical reactions between Vesuvius’s storm and the city’s painted surfaces, Daniela’s span of knowledge was highly impressive. She has worked with one of the most renowned historian of Herculaneum and Pompeii on the planet, and I am sure he learned from her! She answered our questions and we enjoyed her liveliness and humor. I could not possibly recommend her highly enough.

A must-do with an archaeologist - The Pompeii Ruins is a must-do with a guide since they have so much knowledge about the history and every detail on the ruin.
We got lucky with the Askos Tours Guide Paolo since he’s an archaeologist.
His knowledge on the ruins was amazing, and his pace on the tour was really good too. He kept us all engaged throughout the tour. I highly recommend doing this tour if you’re visiting the Pompeii Ruins.

Interesting and smooth! - Location was easy to find. Our guide Paolo is interesting and knowledgeable. You could tell he was very passionate about the topic as well. I went for the 4:30pm tour and although it was a little rush to get through the places (some of the exhibits inside closes at 6) but there were also barely anyone in there so it was a much more enjoyable experience.

Pompeii at last! - Very well organised and interesting. Our guide Rosselle was very knowledgeable and answered all questions on top of all the interesting facts she told us. Rosselle was also fun and approachable. The tour itself was better than I imagined.
