Excellent Sorrento Transfer and Hurculaneum Visit

My wife and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, and after a long day of traveling from the U.S. and landing in Italy at 6 am, Askos Tours was an excellent decision for a private car transfer from Naples to Sorrento. We stopped for a 2-hour private tour led by an archaeologists - he was knowledgeable, detailed, friendly, and a pleasure for our two hours. Our driver, Giovanni, was wonderful. He met us at the airport early and safely helped us on our way from the airport to Hurculaneum to Sorrento. He was pleasant, friendly, and a pleasure. Great first experience in Italy!
