Michele è stato eccezionale. Molto preparato e si sentiva la sua passione per la storia. Inoltre è molto simpatico. Eravamo un gruppo misto ITA ENG e siamo stati tutti molto contenti. Grazie

Our guide, Antonella, was phenomenal. We had such a great time learning about Herculanuem. Even my two teenage boys (ages 14 & 15) enjoyed themselves a lot on this tour. It was interactive and she really took the time to explain what we were seeing. She was extremely knowledgeable and nice.

This was a first class experience with Askos tours booked through Musement. Booking was easy and the tour provider kept in touch with information regarding the tour. The guides were archaeologists with a flair for imparting their knowledge and bringing the sites to life. Excellent service all round.
