Traveler reviews
Good tour of Pompeii
Concise, witty and funny your. Guide was fantastic
Well organised and informative
From start to finish the tour was well organised. Apart from the Tiqet confirmation there was a follow up email from Askos from our guide Mario with clear meeting point instructions and a photo. After the 5 min publicised grace period waiting for a "no-show" we set off in the air-conditioned minibus during which Mario shared his knowledge of the region and the history of Vesuvius, and pointed out sculptures carved from the volcanic material commemorating the Pompeii victims. The walk from the minibus stop to the crater was paced cater for the varying ages and abilities of the group with Mario providing further insights and happy to take questions. We had ample time at the top to see the crater before making the return trip down the path and back to Pompeii. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and greatly appreciated Mario's guiding.
An excursion to Mt Versuvius
I visited Vesuvious on an excursion from Pompei, provided by Askos tours. The trip was great, well organised, and the tour guide (Mario) was knowledgable and friendly. The only downside was it happened to be the only cloudy day in a three month period! This limited the views somewhat, but it was still a worthwhile and informative trip.
Hot walk up Vesuvius
Mario was our tour guide, and he was informative and entertaining. It was a hot walk, but glad I did it.
Mario was a great guide.
Mario was an excellent guide. Very patient and professional. ........................................
