Why take this tour

For many people, it’s a dream to have a personalized guided tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum. But finding time to visit both can be difficult. With Askos Tours, you have the chance to see both sites in one day with a personal driver and an archaeologist guide.

For your personal Pompeii and Herculeum tour, we’ll collect you at your accommodation. We know time is key, so with tickets booked in advance you’ll have priority entrance and skip the queue.

We’ll begin in Pompeii. First, you’ll visit the immense Forum, the centre of Pompeii’s political and commercial life. From here you can walk through a dense network of streets. You’ll enter the Stabian Baths, private homes and visit classic thermopolia where people grabbed their street food. And you’ll take a peek into the world’s most famous house of sin, the Lupanare.

Your guide will then take you to Herculaneum, often described as a jewel of archaeology. A once glamorous town that overlooked the sea, Herculaneum was the holiday retreat for the rich people of Rome. Buried under layers of ash, it remains remarkably intact with no moderations.

With your expert archaeologist guide, you’ll learn the differences and similarities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although Vesuvius buried both cities in AD 79, the impact of the disaster wasn’t quite the same. Herculaneum is better preserved than Pompeii. Upper floors of elegant buildings remain standing, which you can see at the Casa del Salone Nero and the Casa Sannitica. You’ll love the beautiful mosaics and charred but extraordinarily intact furniture. At the thermal baths, you’ll learn of the recreational bathing culture and admire fine decorations perfectly preserved. You’ll won’t believe that you’re gazing at life dating back two millennia.

A personal visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum is a once in a lifetime experience. So be sure to make the right choice. Let Askos Tours be your expert, friendly guide on your private archaeological adventure.

  • Brilliant

    An amazing day out and a must do. Our driver Francisco was charming and helpful and who delivered us into the hands of Vince, a better guide we could not have wished for. He was so interesting and knowledgeable with a hint of humour I could have spent many hours listening to him. Like everybody you meet in Naples ,warm and friendly. Thank you Askos for making our trip so enjoyable

  • Perfect Experience

    This was an amazing experience! Our driver picked us up at our hotel in Sorrento and was in contact throughout the day with our guide, making the various connections flawless. Sylvia handled the tour in both Pompeii and Herculaneum and for us, she was perfect. She had incredible energy and passion for both sites and moved us through at just the right pace. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would highly recommend Askos tours!
