Reach the Vesuvius "Great Cone" comfortably, thanks to a deluxe minibus that will take you to an altitude of 1000 meters, followed by a medium-difficulty hike to climb the crater with an expert volcano logical guide.

Once at the top, take your time to admire at the crater, its fumaroles, and the unique panorama that includes incredible views of Capri, Ischia, Procida, Naples and Pompeii from above.

This tour is designed to give you an experience suitable for the whole family.

The whole thing was great but you didn't get time to linger. 1 hour and 40 minutes is what time we were allowed to go up and get back down

Una bella esperienza, nonostante non rispecchi al massimo ciò che ci si aspetta. Niente pullman di lusso (a malapena c'era l'aria condizionata) e niente guida vulcanologica. Per il resto, ne vale la pena per godersi il bel panorama...Consigliato :)

Escursione molto interessante. Personale disponibile e gentile. Puntuali.

We booked on line and downloaded e-tickets as advised that printed tickets were not necessary however on arrival at Vesuvius the tour agent took a little while to confirm our entry as they preferred paper copies of entrance ticket. Though after the initial delay they did give us extra time to explore, which allowed us to enjoy the spectacular and stunning views from the summit and the impressive crater itself.

Rigtig fin oplevelse! Nemt at finde mødestedet, lige uden for Pompeji. Transporten ok, en gammel bus uden aircondition og i ringe stand. Personalet var søde, og der var styr på det hele. Turen varede i vores tilfælde nærmere 4 timer end 3 timer, fra da vi kører fra Pompeji og er tilbage igen. Der var også lige indlagt et stop på vej hjem, ved en lokal vin sælger, dette var ikke oplyst og tog ekstra tid. Tiden man har på Vesuv er rigtig passende, knap 2 timer. Klart anbefalelsesværdig
