The trip was fantastic. Even on a cold day at the beginning of March. Our guides (Andreja and Raphael) were amazing. Even our driver, Gennaro, was really nice. Highly, highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing trip! Vesuvius caldera is incredible and worth the short hike (but do wear sturdy shoes!) The light lunch and wine tasting was lovely … and although it says light lunch, you’re not going to go hungry… great portion sizes and a nice taster of Neapolitan cuisine! Big thanks to Giovanni our guide and Vittorio our driver!

It was canceled by tour operator for not enough people signing up. I only realized it 4 hours before its start time. …the email notification came in 24 hours earlier. But IMHO the decision should have been made sooner and I signed up for text notifications, did not receive one about the cancellation. Do better or that’s it for me with trip advisor/ viator. Whole day of my very expensive vacation wasted!!! Because I had to scramble to find something else to do for the he day.

The tour was professionally organized, and everything was on time. The guides and drivers are courteous and speak English well. There’s water, food, and beautiful sights. We loved it!

Celebrated my wife’s 70th birthday by hiking up to the crater. Diana our guide and Francesco our driver were terrific. Only downside was being called to start the tour more than one hour before the appointed time. Be sure to have your phone available for call or txt

Nice tour by Michala and Giacomo. Prompt pickup at cruise port. Very nice lunch at a restaurant with a great view of the Bay of Naples. My wife and I are in our 70s and we’re a little concerned about the hike up Mt Vesuvius, but it wasn’t too difficult. Steady grade uphill in mixed cinder/ gravel. About 1.8 miles round trip.

This hike can be challenging at times but there are rest stops in between with drinks and souvenirs. They also offer you a hiking stick if you need. Our driver Alessandro and our tour guide Alessandra were very helpful throughout the whole tour. Thank you so much!

This was exactly what I had signed up for. Gabriel, the guide, was very friendly and enthusiastic, with a very communicative energy and very good commentary and advice. The lunch before the climb was simple but very good. The wines were nice but not exceptional. The climb itself took about 30mn, not hurrying up, then maybe 10mn to reach the end of the trail around the crater once on top. Contrary to other volcanos, no need to cover too much because of wind or low temperature - a t-shirt was enough. The path is quite gravelly so closed shoes are better. The view is gorgeous, and well-worth the effort.

Sat outside the pickup point for one hour, did not get picked up. When I called them, they told me they they had canceled the tour. But they never bothered to inform me. They told me to contact aviator, and hang up. TERRIBLE experience - never again.
