“We had a very smooth experience. We started on time from Naples. The bus took us to Vesuvio and they told us to be back by a certain time. So you have to keep in mind to climb to the top and come back in time to catch the bus. The experience is amazing, it's definitely worth it!! The views from above were breathtaking.”
From Naples: Pompeii plus Mount Vesuvius with skip-the-line tickets, guided Pompeii, crater or lava-valley hike, and lunch.
“What a lovely experience! Giusi DP was an amazing tour host. She communicated effectively. Once picked up, she gave wonderful information about the days activities, what to expect and information about the local history, plus fabulous foodie talks about the region. She was wonderful at arranging everything, meeting us at locations and keeping track of all of us. I would recommend this trip for anyone trying to squeeze in these sights. Yes, you could do more time at Pompeii because it's HUGE but honestly the crowds in the afternoon were intense! The 2 hours we were given at Mt. Vesuvius was perfect. I'm a slow hiker and it was enough…”
Pompeii bus transfer to Vesuvius with park entry ticket. Comfortable ride, 1.5 hours at the crater, Bay of Naples views.
“This experience was excellent. The meeting point was really easy to find, we were handed our Vesuvius tickets and the minibus took us up Vesuvius in no time. We were told when we had to meet back. We were lucky that we got there early meaning we had slightly longer at Vesuvius. I’m not sure you’d be able to do it comfortably in the 1.5 hours stated in the info. You’d be able to get to the top, take a photo and come back down. Luckily we were able to have a really good amount at the top. Would definitely do this again if I was to come back and…”

“Tours are very time specific and are not altered based on individual delays. However, when we experienced delays in meeting our tour group ( due to canceled and late trains to meeting point) the company was very responsive and communicative to our questions and attempts to catch up with the tour when we were able to join. The company coordinated the meeting point and kept in communication with us to the extent possible to follow up with our joining the group! Additionally, Roberta, the tour guide, was welcoming, informative, and extremely knowledgable for the part of the tour we were able to be present for!”

“Really enjoyed our trip to Vesuvius - the bus and guide were great - really friendly, knowledgable and everything was organised really well even though we were a few groups coming together at different times. We loved the little stop on the way up to buy some limoncella and our driver and guide simply looked after us really well - we felt in safe hands. Great day, thankyou.”
Naples day trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius with skip-the-line tickets, audio guide, and stress-free bus transport.
“Mt. Vesuvius (part 1). On the way our driver and guide stopped to sell bus rides to 2 women walking up to the trail. The trail was great and views awesome. We returned to a packed bus (new guests on board), we were cramped in the front seat to get to the next stop. New driver came on board, brought us to Herculaneum and Then Pompeii, all great and awesome sites. A lot put into one day, we should have split this into 2 day had time permitted this for us. The Driver and guide for Mt. Vesuvius, and subsequent bus ride put a damper on the experience. As well…”
Naples day trip to Herculaneum, Vesuvius and Pompeii with air-conditioned transport, onboard commentary, and Vesuvius entry.
“Our tour guide - Luca - was a laugh a minute and the highlight of the day. 😂 He was very knowledgeable and had a humorous way of telling stories about history and life in Italy. Luca was punctual and easy to contact / responsive. Each location was a great experience and enough time to explore. You need to be a self-starter - you’re not guided around each place - but we were happy to do that at our own pace. Sabina & Travis (T-bone)”
Half-day Vesuvius trip from Naples by air-conditioned bus, guided volcano intro, and free crater time for epic Bay views.
“Extreme winds at the peak of Vesuvius meant our tour had to be cut short, but thanks to the extraordinary transparency, fairness and professionalism of the organiser, I didnt walk away disappointed. They even organised a partial refund without being asked, which was processed within a day. Extra services, such as bag storage at the meeting point were a great help, and I appreciate her common sense realisation that €15 (€5 each) to store our rucksacks for 4 hours is excessive, especially after already paying over €80 for the excursion, so only charging us for one. This, and lots of other subtle gestures, showed that they care about hospitality and…”
Skip-the-line Pompeii guided tour plus a vineyard lunch, wine tasting, and horse riding on Vesuvius slopes, with optional Naples/Amalfi pickup.
“Pompeii was amazing- if you get a chance go see it. It is so much larger than you would imagine and it brings to fruition and materializes all of the history. Our guide Rafael was extremely knowledgeable. His accent was extremely thick but we got used to it. He did not use a flag or something that made it easy to follow him and sometimes would quickly move ahead. That was not bad. The reason for my three stars is that the trip implied horseback riding on Vesuvius. It is instead horseback riding with Vesuvius in sight but nowhere near Vesuvius or close to the crater. We feel we really…”
Every kind of day out around the bay, and the best of each.
