Step back into the ancient world with this immersive tour of two remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites—Pompeii and Oplontis. Begin your journey at Pompeii’s Porta Marina Superiore, where your archaeologist guide will lead you through the western district of the ancient city. Over two enriching hours, you’ll explore the basilica, forum, markets, thermal baths, theatres, and a Roman domus, gaining a vivid understanding of daily life before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. With expert commentary and fascinating historical insights, Pompeii’s ruins come alive in a way that’s both educational and unforgettable.
After a short break, you’ll continue your adventure aboard the Circumvesuviana train to Torre Annunziata, home to the extraordinary Villa Poppaea. This luxurious Roman villa, believed to belong to Emperor Nero’s wife, is famed for its immaculate frescoes, serene gardens, and elegant bathing areas. During your 90-minute guided visit, you’ll uncover the villa’s architectural beauty and learn how Roman elites lived, relaxed, and entertained. This two-site experience offers a rare chance to explore contrasting aspects of ancient Roman society in a single, seamless tour.

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. ❤️
The guide in Pompeii was very interesting, the pace was good, and they were attentive to questions. The "Oplontis" part was canceled 1 day before, and the refund was almost immediate.
