Meeting point & instructions

Meeting point

Piazza Esedra, 4, 80045, Pompei
  • Show your smartphone ticket to the guide at the meeting point.
  • Meet at the left side of the Pompeii entrance named Porta Marina Inferiore near the ''ARTE BUS'' bus stop
  • Your guide will be holding a sign saying 'Askos Tours'
  • Look in wonder at the lives of the Roman Empire's citizens as ash descended upon the city, freezing it in time
  • Walk in the path of disaster as you pass through Pompeii and the even more well-preserved Herculaneum
  • Let history come to life as your archaeological guide talks you through the lives of the preserved people and artifacts

The Colosseum is nearing the end of construction, the Roman Empire is experiencing a period of unrivaled peace, and frontiers continue to grow. Then, disaster stikes. The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE has left a perfect time capsule of the era.

Discover valuable insights into the life of Roman citizens, and explore the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum as they were nearly two millennia ago. Roam the ruins with an archaeologist as your guide and see history like you never have before.

  • Cancellation is possible until 24 hours before your visit.
  • Rescheduling is possible until 24 hours before your visit.

Michele was such a knowledgeable guide who was able to present loads of interesting information in a way that allowed us to imagine the perspective of the people of Pompeii and Ercolano. You can ask him any question and he will know. Could not have asked for a better guide!

Paulo was incredible, very knowledgeable and helpful! It was a wonderful experience getting a tour from an archeologist and hearing facts that regular guides may miss. Paulo was eager to answer questions and ensure that each visitor was accommodated for! Paulo even helped us navigate the train system when we were left at Herculaneum. Please know you are given an hour lunch break during your 5 hour tour and transportation back from Herculaneum is not provided! Therefore, make necessary arrangements and/or familiarize yourself with the train system (10 minute walk from Herculaneum site) and which stop to get off on/ make a train swap from.
10/10 experience!! *Herculaneum was less crowded, smaller, but appeared more intact than Pompeii.
