By taking part in the tour of the Vesuvius Crater, is possible to realize the extraordinary strength of nature and the extent of the damage caused at the time of the eruption in AD 79.
This is a tour that all visitors to the area should participate in because was here where the disaster began which then compromised the places that are now visited as archaeological areas.

We had a great time. The tour operator is very communicative! I definitely recommend this to everyone!

I only booked this trip as it was a 'standalone' visit to Vesuvius, rather than the usual Pompeii/Vesuvius combo. That would have been too much in one day and with a 14 year old in our family. We got the train to the tour operator's office and, rather than the vintage van promised, had an old battered Iveco minibus as our transport 😂😂. It was only us onboard and was fine. Our driver didn't speak English, but was friendly and played us an English language tour CD as we approached the site 🤣😂. Dropped us off at a Vesuvius and picked us up afterwards, on time. We wandered around on our own and utilised the guide on site for some background info. We could have stopped at the local Limoncello place en route, but didn't want to. It wouldn't be for everyone, but suited our purpose.

The hike to the top was definitely worth it, especially on a beautiful day. The bus driver and guide were nice, and also were easy to communicate with via WhatsApp for the start of the tour. The bus ride was fine, though it was a dated vs classic bus. Overall would recommend.

Fantastic, unique experience , not to be missed. Would highly recommend. Would suggest to enjoy fully, that you get a bit of fitness so that you enjoy rather than endure the hike to the top.

The booking process online was easy and confirmation came through quickly (we only booked the day before).
We were picked up from our hotel by the driver in Sorrento then met up with the tour group in Castellammare. It took around 45 minutes to reach the drop off at Mount Vesuvius. Entry to the park was included in the price.
Overall it was a great experience and getting picked up/dropped off at our hotel took all the hassle out of the visit for us (family of 4). Good value for money considering the price. We would definitely recommend this trip.

This is basically a tourist trap. You can buy an entry ticket for Vesuvius for €11, which includes the guided tour. Further, you can purchase a return ticket on a bus for about €7. So you're paying an extra €30+ for the luxury of the minivan, which doesn't have seat-belts or air-conditioning

We thoroughly enjoyed our half day trip to Mount Vesuvius, with our sons aged 9 and 12. Most other tours combine Vesuvius with Pompei, which we felt was too much for us in one day.
We were collected from our hotel in Sorrento at 11.15 and after several pick ups en route, arrived at Mount Vesuvius just after 13.00. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk up to the crater and around the rim. Plenty of places to refuel on drinks and snacks, before rendezvousing with our driver at 15.00
A short pit stop for limoncello tasting - no hard sell - only enhanced the experience. And we were dropped back at our hotel around 16.45
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a straightforward trip to Vesuvius, esp those with children/teens, who may prefer a single attraction in one day.

Wonderful service all around. Adriana speaks English and was very accommodating. We booked one day in advance. Pick up at our hotel. Pleas r driver and van. Took us straight to Vesuvius and waited for us to walk up then made a pit stop on the way back to taste some local specialties. Drop off at hotel. Using them again for another tour tomorrow!
