Overall it provided a well transportation from naples to pompei for lunch then a drive up the mountain. Other than that, no real commentary from guide on the mountain and history etc. Could be more. But overall well organized, guided spoke English very well and were energetic :)

HomerJSimpson01

by the time you arrive to the coach park you know there is not far to go now. Well its 1000 metre climb from here. The first bit of path is fairly steep, but once you get passed the 4th turn, its all gradually up hill from here. Takes about 30 minutes in good shoes - NO FLIP FLOPS !

This tour was very well organized with expert guides. The views from th ed top of vesuvius were breathtakin .

Great pick up the driver gave a fantastic commentary as we drove to pick up other guests .View as you drive up volcano great. Suggest people have good footwear and take a coat as it rained and it got quite cool . Highly recommend for the view and to understand where Pompeii is .

<p>The organization of the tour was not good. First we were taken from Naples to a restaurant in Pompeii. We set there for at least 1.5 hours, apparently waiting for another group that visited the site. Then we had a long walk to the bus to the Vesuvius. During the trip there was no explanation about the mountain, the eruption, nothing. When we arrived to the site we had to run very steep slope up the mountain to get to the top. There we were told immediately to go down, since the site was closed an hour earlier due to an event that took place there. Overall we spent half a day for few minutes at the site.</p>

This half-day tour is an easy and beautiful way to see Vesuvius if you want to forego the hassles of planning. I signed up for this tour the day before so I was apprehensive about how it would go, but I could easily reach my contact on my phone, they answered all of my questions, and they picked me up very close to my hotel even though I registered last minute. Busses were comfortable, and the tour guide was informative. The hike up the mountain is nothing to worry about (I have an Achilles' heel injury and am quite out of shape, but I wore runners and brought a water bottle and it was fine). The view the whole way up was absolutely stunning! A tip: if you're worried about the weather complaints, as have been mentioned in other reviews, I'd recommend booking closer to the date.

Very nice trip and quite well organized. There is a lot of people coming from different directions, doing the whole tour (Pompeii - Vesuvius) or only one part, so there is also a little chaos, but great Ladies there on the place do their best to keep the tour going smoothly (thank you!). Nice pizza, great Vesuvio, transport also worked very well (hotel pick-up). Please keep in mind that you won't have much time to climb up and admire the views, so go up quickly to have these 20 or 25 minutes on the top. Good trip and worth its price (transport, Vesuvio ticket, pizza + wine are all included, so it is really not expensive at all).

<p>Please save yourself the money and go your self yourself. The bottom line is that when the weather is horrendous rain, wind, cloud, snow this tour should NOT be ran. - But they take this risk! We were so apprehensive and worried as to why the tour continued, we had an awful experience with this company, did not see one thing and were told the whole time normally you can see this, but not today Infact the weather was that terrible I could not see my partner yards in front of me. I understand the weather is unpredictable and this is nobodys fault but as a large company, the morning of this tour they should have CANCELLED the tour for everybodys safety and Italian experience. The man who worked in the shop of the Volcano even told us he did not know why people were allowed to come up as it had been closed and just reopened due to that they thought the weather was going to be better - they were mistaken. It was dangerous, scary and a complete waste of time. Please find an alternative way to do this tour and do not book far in advance because if you get bad weather they will still continue the trip in dangerous conditions, take your money and you will be worried, you will NOT see one thing, no crater, no view, not even the person you are with.</p>

<p>Very well organised tour and the best pizza we had whilst in Naples.</p> <p>The tour ladies were very kind and knowledgeable. They were also very patient with my mother who had hurt her ankle before the tour.</p>

Bobby B

<p>The tour was great and above expectations with knowledgeable guides. What really took it over the top was the unfortunate fact that the summit was closed due to safety concerns of excessive winds blowing visitors and Viator offered refunds or retrips the next day. Thank you for a great experience.</p>
