We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot. There is a lot to see, so we couldn’t see everything, but we saw enough to make it worth it. We drove and there was a parking lot right by the entrance (Zeus Parking, Villa dei Misteri),, which made it very convenient.

Our guide Alfredo was really an archaeologist who was working in Pompeii so knew all that there was to know about it. He was very informative, took us to the most interesting spots and gave us plenty of background information without overdoing it. It’s a fairly small group around 16-20. You get an over-ear radio receiver so you can always hear what is being said. We had been to Pompeii before, many years ago but learned quite a lot of new information this time thanks to Alfredo. The two hours rushed by, but you are free to continue exploring on your own afterwards. Alfredo pointed out more places of interest on the free map guide you are given before he left too, which was helpful. We travelled from Sorrento by train, the station is virtually opposite the Askoa meeting point at the entrance to the archeological park, so very easy to navigate. All trains on the Sorrento line from Naples also stop there, the station is Pompeii Scava.

Pablo was so interesting and knowledgeable about ancient Pompei! He asked where each of us is from so he could tailor his comments to our interests. Many times he stopped so we could ask more questions and patiently answered each one.

Our tour guide Antonio was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and funny. He took us to all the best parts of Pompeii and explained everything. I found it very educational and really interesting! He really is a fantastic guide. We did another tour via AKOS so would definately recommend using them (we booked via the app ‘Headout.’

I think visiting Pompeii without a well informed tour guide would just be looking at ruins and rocks. On the other hand our tour guide, Andrea, informed and entertained us for 2 hours. His knowledge of the site and its history was exceptional and he filled the tour with humour and clever analysis. I learned plenty and I’m very appreciative that we had such an insightful guide.
