Begin a memorable journey that starts in Sorrento or Naples and leads you into the heart of one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world. As you arrive in the ancient city of Pompeii, you follow an expert guide through streets that echo with the daily life of a once thriving Roman community. Each corner reveals a story, from the remains of elegant homes and lively shops to the thermal baths and vibrant frescoes that have survived against all odds. Walking through these silent yet powerful ruins offers a rare glimpse into a world preserved in time, allowing you to understand the rhythm of life before nature reshaped history forever. After exploring the site, you pause for a relaxing moment at a Vesuvian winery, where the aromas and flavors of traditional cuisine provide a welcome break between discoveries.
Your adventure continues as you travel toward the heights of Mount Vesuvius, surrounded by rugged landscapes shaped by ancient forces. A gentle walk up the mountain brings you closer to the summit, where the vast crater opens before you like a window into the earth. Here, a knowledgeable mountain guide shares fascinating insights into the volcano, its past activity and the unique environment that surrounds it. Standing near the rim with the sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples spread below, you feel the incredible blend of natural power and beauty that defines this iconic landmark. This experience offers a moving connection to the history, culture and landscapes that make this region so remarkable.

Askos was very responsive to communications, and even a last minute change. The private 3 hour guided tour was such a great choice for us. Our guide, Theresa, was wonderful. She knew where all the lesser known points of interest were, explained how to read the ruins (ex. How to tell what type of store or house), and told us a lot of really interesting information. Honestly, 3 hours hardly seemed enough! I would definitely book again; this was well worth the price.
We booked a tour on Sunday, October 26 for Pompeii and Herculenium. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Amadeus was so knowledgeable and excited showing us the ruins. He had a degree in Archeology and knew so many details and interesting facts- it was mesmerizing! Loved all the people on our tour as well- lots of fun conversations. Think I liked Herculenium even better than Pompeii!
We took the trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius on October 10th, 2025, and it was an amazing experience. Our first stop was Pompeii, where our tour guide led us through the streets of the ancient city. The guided tour lasted about an hour and a half, after which we had another hour and a half to explore Pompeii on our own. Then, the minibus took us near Mount Vesuvius. There, our second tour guide, Mario, showed us the path to the top of the volcano. The view was absolutely breathtaking! Mario was a true professional and very patient as we waited for my mother, who had recently undergone knee surgery. Thanks to his help, we managed to reach the top slowly but surely. He truly made it one of the greatest experiences we’ve ever had.
We booked the 3 hour Askos Tour of Pompeii. Our local guide Alexia was outstanding. She was so informative, knowledgeable, funny and genuine. She gave us amazing insight into the lives, city and the archaeological process of Pompeii. There is so much to see, three hours does not touch it. You can discover on our own after the tour. This tour is a must when visiting Pompeii. Outstanding!
Our guide Mario was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and we loved learning about the history of the volcano, Naples, Pompeii and surrounding areas from him. Our geologist guide on top of the volcano was amazing also. Both guides made this trip so worthwhile. Can highly recommend. Most certainly worth the climb to the rim and the views are spectacular. My best day in Italy. ❤️
