Awesome tour to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
We enjoyed our tour to Pompeii und Mount Vesuvius a lot. Our driver “Roberto” picked us up from our hotel. He was on time, polite and speaks very good English. The Mini-Van, was clean and AC worked very well. In Pompeii we had a German speaking guide “Pietro”. He did a great job, the tour with him was very informative and his German was very, very good. Afterwards we went to Mount Vesuvius. All the tickets were already organized and we had nearly no waiting times. Finally we also booked an airport shuttle. Here the driver was “Francesco”, a friendly character with knowledge about Naples History as well.
In summary, we had a pleasant time and can highly recommend Askos tours and their coworkers. Even our children (9 + 13yrs) had fun and are still talking about Naples / Pompeii.
