This tour was a great way... - This tour was a great way to spend a few hours while in Naples. Pickup from my hotel was on time and guide provided great narration and overview of the day while enroute to meet the rest of my group and start the tour. I then met our guide Christian and he explained in detail the timing and itinerary for the day. The included pizza lunch was yum, and the view over Naples from the restaurant was stunning. Our group then continued the drive up the mountain with great narration along the way. Our guide double checked with each of us that we had the correct tickets to enter the park so we’d be able to breeze in. Christian explained how the hike would be and assured us it was manageable as the whole trail is clearly marked. Turns out he was right and while it’s a little steep in the beginning once you reach the top the views are incredible. Once our hike was finished it was a quick drive back to the city and dropped me back at the hotel. Loved that Christian offered suggestions for restaurants and other sites to see with my days in Naples.

Great Day! Awesome driver and guide! - What an unbelievable day - Pompei , a great lunch and a hike up Mt Vesuvius ! We had a wonderful driver (Aldo) and a fabulous guide (Chris). They went out of their way at every turn to make it a special day for us. They shared a great deal outside of the tours and did little things as we drove … both were very knowledgeable and had a passion for what they do - We had a great time

Great experience! Our... - Great experience! Our guide Martina and driver Adamus were friendly, knowledgeable and worked hard to make this a memorable experience. A few things that one should consider: 1. Make sure you buy your tickets to climb the volcano within the park—well in advance( they are available the first part of each month). We did not do this and had to scramble to get tickets and had to pay more to secure them. 2. The climb to the crater is challenging, so be prepared and bring water, sunscreen and good walking shoes/sneakers. The views from the top are breathtaking!

Very good day. - The pick-up by our driver Marco added a positive Rating to our excursion. In addition to giving us explanations about Vesuvius, he stopped us at a vantage point to take a picture when he didn’t have to. And the icing on the cake, the return to our Pension was done with a few small detours to let us know his hometown. And this with a great effort on his part to speak in French. Very good service.
