The tour was very interesting and more over a fantastic learning experience. Our guide, Sylvia, was the perfect choice for the job as a Napoletana, as an archaeologist that actually works on the site of Pompei and as a university teacher. She ran the whole thing pretty interactively and made sure to give us the blueprint on how to read archaeological discoveries and ancient works of art as beginners. Thanks a lot!

Claura/Laura (Apologies if we got the spelling wrong) was an absolute delight to listen to. She made every bit of the tour so interesting that we didn't even realise 2hrs pass by. The tour was very informative and Claura/Laura's animated description made things even more interesting. She even went beyond allocated time and explained all the questions from us in detailed manner. Thank you and we definitely recommend the tour guide and also the tour company of Askos as they were very professional and accommodating in the different tours that we booked with them and definitely had high quality tours compared to others.
