Our Reviews

  • Pompei ed Ercolano

    Come ho già avuto modo di scrivere nella mia recensione su Get Your Guide, l’organizzazione dei Tours presso i siti archeologici di Pompei ed Ercolano è stata semplicemente perfetta. Un ringraziamento particolare alla mia guida privata Silvia, che si è dimostrata disponibile, paziente, ma soprattutto brillante in ogni spiegazione; persona preparatissima e di alto spessore culturale, che ha aggiunto valore a dei luoghi dal valore storico già inestimabile.

  • Great experience

    Incredible experience, the highlight of our trip to Italy! We opted for the private tour as we were short on time and needed to cover ground more efficiently. Our guide, Maria, was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Will definitely seek out an Askos tour in the future.

  • Visite de Pompèi inoubliable

    Magnifique visite privée de 3 heures à Pompéi. Notre guide, Ilaria, nous a fait profiter de toute son expertise sur l’histoire de l’empire romain et du site de Pompéi. Constamment à l’écoute, elle nous a fait partager sa passion pour ce site avec entrain et bonne humeur. Un grand merci à elle.

  • Wonderful experience!

    One of the highlights of our South Italy tour. Our guide, Vincenzo, an archeologist, was very kind and very knowledgable. A 3 hour tour with guide is the way to go here otherwise you don‘t really know what you‘re looking at. And in a small group (we were 5) you can visit places larger groups are not allowed to go. So even with a huge crowd, you can find empty ‚streets‘. Very very nice tour!

  • Visite géniale en famille

  • Magnífico tour privado de 3 horas

    Fue una visita impresionante. Nuestra guia en español Maria Laura fue estupenda, muy agradable y con un español excelente. Tenía muy buenos conocimientos sobre Pompeya. Hicimos un recorrido privado para nosotros 6 y fué un acierto. Si os recomiendo si vais un día de calor que llevéis agua suficiente, en el maravilloso recorrido solo hay una fuente y hay una distancia hasta llegar a ella.

  • One of the best tours of our trip!

    Our tour was excellent! Doing a private, archeologist lead tour is the way to go. Silvia was exceptional! She did not rush. She showed us lots of details, and answered all of our questions. Would definitely do this again.

    Taking this tour was one of the high points of our Italian Holiday. Our guide was fantastic. So knowledgeable and friendly. She shared with us not only information on the archeology of Pompeii but also insights on the array of people who lived and died there.

  • Private 3 Hour Tour of Pompei

    The 3 hour tour was for 5 members of our family (including teens). Antonella, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about Pompeii and Classical history in general. Her English was excellent and she was also very friendly. We all enjoyed a great visit to the archeological park. I would definitely be more than happy to recommend this tour to any family planning to visit Pompeii.

  • Private tour at Pompeii

    Our guide was excellent! Super knowledgeable and friendly. We did a private tour with just two of us and it was totally worth it. We could ask personalized questions and choose what we wanted to see. It was a fabulous experience.
