FAQ

Askos Tours Pompeii FAQ

Short answers from the Askos tour pages on GetYourGuide.

Is Askos Tours an official Pompeii guide?

Askos Tours is a private tour operator, not part of the archaeological park. Most of its Pompeii walks are led by archaeologists, and its tours use the park’s own tickets, such as Pompeii Express and Pompeii Plus.

Can I cancel an Askos tour?

Yes, every Askos tour on GetYourGuide can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start.

Which languages do Askos guides speak?

The Pompeii walks run in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese; the private tours add Chinese, Japanese and Russian. The day trips with Herculaneum run in English.

Can children join an Askos tour?

Yes, with an adult. Under-18s enter Pompeii free, so bring their passport or ID. Baby seats are available on request on the Naples minibus; strollers are not allowed on the Sorrento day.

Do I need to print my Askos tickets?

No. On the day from Rome the local partner sends the train tickets by email or WhatsApp after booking, and you show them on your phone.

Is the Herculaneum ticket included on Askos day trips?

Yes, on every Askos day that visits Herculaneum. Bought yourself, it costs €16 for adults and €2 for EU citizens aged 18–25.

“There were 24 of us in the group, which was disappointing as the description stated never more than 20.”

FAQ

Askos Tours Pompeii FAQ

Is Askos Tours an official Pompeii guide?

Askos Tours is a private tour operator, not part of the archaeological park. Most of its Pompeii walks are led by archaeologists, and its tours use the park’s own tickets, such as Pompeii Express and Pompeii Plus.

Can I cancel an Askos tour?

Yes, every Askos tour on GetYourGuide can be cancelled for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start.

Which languages do Askos guides speak?

The Pompeii walks run in English, Italian, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese; the private tours add Chinese, Japanese and Russian. The day trips with Herculaneum run in English.

Can children join an Askos tour?

Yes, with an adult. Under-18s enter Pompeii free, so bring their passport or ID. Baby seats are available on request on the Naples minibus; strollers are not allowed on the Sorrento day.

Do I need to print my Askos tickets?

No. On the day from Rome the local partner sends the train tickets by email or WhatsApp after booking, and you show them on your phone.

Is the Herculaneum ticket included on Askos day trips?

Yes, on every Askos day that visits Herculaneum. Bought yourself, it costs €16 for adults and €2 for EU citizens aged 18–25.
