Bus transfer was comfortable with AC. We also really enjoyed our lunch. There was an issue with our tickets at both spots but it was resolved fairly quickly with the help of our guide.”

Review of a half-day Mount Vesuvius tour from Naples, with minibus transport, park entry, crater hike, Bay of Naples views, and practical tips.

“A challenging climb up Mt V is well worth the time and effort! I am 63 and active and made it to the top with no trouble at all. I stopped a mere 3 times to catch my breath. Don’t wear sandals!! The views from the top are spectacular and the crater itself is intense! It is way different and much larger than the volcanoes I explored in Iceland.”

“A great day visiting pompeii and mount Vesuvius Pompeii is amazing .., you literally walk the streets and imagine yourself 2000 years ago! The lunch was pretty naff .. we were told pizza would take too long so go for pasta or salad . We had one of each and they were both terrible. Mount Vesuvius is done independently so you’re really only paying for transport. Having said that the tour guide at Pompeii was excellent and the transport was very efficient and well organised so I would recommend.”

“What a great day. Our small group guide for Pompeii was Francesca and she was extremely knowledgeable. Pompeii was much more than I expected as far as the size and interest. After we finished our tour in Pompeii, we had a fantastic lunch with two other couples at a vineyard where they provided farm to table foods and wine. From there, we went on the horseback ride with Alexandra as our guide. She was great, and the ride was fun as we rode through the vineyards in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.”

“This private tour with Antonio was a fantastic way to learn some amazing history about Napoli. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Even had my daughter's engaged the whole day. Sadly it was cloudy by the time we got to Mt Vesuvius, so we couldn't see inside the crater, but nevertheless, it was still an amazing experience. I'd suggest doing Vesuvius in the morning when clouds are clear. Highly recommend this tour !”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 233 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $119

Review of the Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius small-group tour, with archaeologist guides, crater hike, price, timing, and practical tips.

“We did the Pompeii and Mt VESUVIUS tour. Both guides were knowledgeable. Sergio was the archeologist on the Pompeii tour and Mario was the guide for the hike.luigi was our driver who drove us from Pompeii to Mt Vesuvius. The group for the Pompeii tour was a large group of 20, but the Mt Vesuvius was just our family of 6. The communication between Sergio and Mario could have been better since he didn’t know where or when we were supposed to meet with Mario after the Pompeii tour.”
