Terrific tour -we almost made it to the top, a bit steep to climb up,but it's a beautiful site. High recommed it.

an easy way to see the volcano altho the guide didnt accompany us up the final (walkable) stretch there was probably little for her to tell us at the top that she hadn't already told us.

This was just transport from Naples hotel to Vesuvius so don't expect anything more.Good if you don't know how else to get there and don't won't to combine it with a visit to Pompeii (we did Pompeii in another tour). Mini-van from our hotel to outside Pompeii where we picked up another couple (so 4 of us in total) then we drove most of the way up Vesuvius. Not much commentary from the "guide" so thats why this isn't really a tour. We were given about 40 mins to walk from the carpark at the top to the crater and back to the van so felt a bit rushed. If you can make your own way to Vesuvius or work out the public transport then do so otherwise this is adequate.

We didn't have enough time at the mountain. Wasted too much time waiting and picking up people in Pompeii.

Had a terrific afternoon. walking and the view is amazing. However was disappointed that the guide did not give any info at all to us unless asked directly. Also, we travelled from Pompeii in the morning to pick up the tour in Naples and it then travelled back to Pompeii to pick up other tourists for the afternoon tour with us. I was disappointed that the tour did not advertise that you could be picked up in Pompeii as it would have made a huge difference to our travel plans
