First rate all the way - ask for Jolanda as your guide for Pompeii

First rate all around. The private driver was on time in a clean Mercedes van, our guide Jolanda was superb. She hit all of the highlights an was able to get us around big crowds and lines with ease. She was very knowledgeable and her English was great. One of the best private tours ever. 10/10 would recommend Askos and Jolanda in particular. We all did the Vesuvius hike which for which is was very important to have the private driver to drop us at the top of the hill - otherwise it was a long walk just to the base of the hike.

Amazing Pompeii

Our guide Suzie, an extremely friendly francophone archaeologist, was delighted. There is so much to learn about life in Pompeii in 79 at the time of the Vesuvius awakening!
