After taking a train from Rome to Naples for this tour only, we were picked up by the driver. After about 20 minutes in the van headed to the volcano, the tour service calls the driver to say that they did not have tickets for us. We tried to purchase tickets at the park entrance, but were unsuccessful. The tour service only gave us a half refund even though we did not get to complete the only item on the tour. Viator should drop this tour service. Our driver stated that mix-ups like this were not uncommon with this tour service.

The top of the mountain was beautiful. Our driver was wonderful and he brought us up to the entrance gate , we saw many people walking up the road from lower area I’m glad we didn’t have to do that. It was a little cold and very windy, we forgot our coats but they sell sweatshirts by entrance. Overall great trip I think it’s a little pricey but we enjoyed the experience.

A wasted day of our holiday, terrible service and only a part refund! We booked a half day trip to Vesuvius that included access and a guided tour of the crater. We were picked up in Naples at 9AM with 2 other groups. About 50 minutes into the journey someone called the driver and we were informed that they hadn't sorted out tickets onto the mountain. The driver drove us up to the place where they release 10 ticket online per guided session to buy our own tickets and the 3 parties spent an hour trying to get them but they're unachievable. Such a stressful day. I've chased 3 times now and I'm told they're not aware of the failed visit! Nobody will take ownership and I've had only had £86 returned for £183 day on top of the holiday we booked for this reason.

When we actually got to Vesuvius it was a wonderful experience but the trip to get there was awful the pick up caffe had the same name as two others so we had a job to find it then the bus was half an hour late we started on our journey then we got dropped off with two others and had to wait for about 15 mins on the roadside for a smaller bus we got in that eventually then had to change buses again just up the road we finally got there it was fabulous to see but I didn’t realise there were no toilets any where so was a bit uncomfortable by the time the late bus finally took us home well worth a trip but needed more organisation we have used this company a few times before and always had a great time

The experience of Seeing inside the cratered a volcano which very well could be a experience not possible in the future

Great experience, they drive you up a majority of the way and then you have like 3 hours on your own to hike, there are shops along the way where you can stop and get a drink food or souvenirs. You hike about 2 miles total round trip, it is uphill the entire time.

We were sent a text to confirm arrangements the day before and were met on time. The whole day went well. Great experience. Could have skipped the chat at the top and had more time to walk around at top. Definitely recommend the trip.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Vesuvius,our driver Antonio was excellent, picked us up as arranged, and made it a pleasant experience. The original contact from trip advisor was a little confusing, as we were sent a voucher which wasn't the ticket, but Mr White travel contacted us the day before the trip and provided full information along with the tickets needed via WhatsApp. We had 2 hours at the volcano, which was enough time to walk up, enjoy the views and have a drink at the summit. All in all a very enjoyable experience.
