Excellent trip. Learned a lot, saw a lot and Roberta was a first-class guide - All communications beforehand were very clear. Roberta was there nice and early to greet us and kept us informed and entertained throughout the day. Bus journey to Pompeii was comfortable. Roberta told us loads and was always happy to answer any questions. She really knows her stuff and also knew what would interest the group. Pompeii is very busy so had to queue at times. Time for breaks. Recommend taking 50 cent coins for the toilets. Stopped for lunch at nice spot half-way up Vesuvius. We had taken a wee picnic with us and enjoyed at the many picnic tables. 3-course fixed menu lunch available for 20 Euros or sandwiches as well so plenty of options. Drive up to 1000 metres pretty spectacular at times with hairpin bends which our driver negotiated calmly. Crash barriers present so never felt in any danger. We were given 1 hour 45 minutes to walk to the top and back down. Some excellent views of the crater and the coastline. Several wee pit-stops available along the route. Steep in places but no major issue even if average fitness. We enjoyed a glass of wine at the top. Not rushed and back to the bus with 15 minutes to spare. An excellent experience with special thanks to Roberta and our calm driver. Highly recommend 👌

Have a great day! - A very good day that combines a visit to the site of Pompeii and a climb to the top of Vesuvius. Sometimes there is a problem hearing the guide with the headphones, but the visit to Pompeii is interesting. The climb to the top of Vesuvius is quite steep; it is better to wear sneakers, but the view over the Bay of Naples and Capri is worth it.

Excellent tour! - Excellent experience, very interesting, a magnificent cultural immersion. Lulú was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and entertaining. We loved it. It is worth it anyway. The tour was very punctual, and everything was carried out in a very orderly manner.

Tough climb but worth the effort - In the end a terrific experience, though half way up Vesuvius I questioned my sanity in choosing this trip. There is no shade to speak of in Pompeii so pray for overcast skies, but it is an amazing place to visit (would not go mid-June to late August due to temps). We had a little less than 2 hours between that and the Vesuvius climb. When the guide gives you 90 minutes for the trip assume you will need all of it to make it up and back! A little bit grueling, but when you see the crater and views from the top you will forget every step up! For we less than athletic it is a tough trip but well worth the effort. Do not try this if you have breathing, heart or other cardiovascular issues. Sounds daunting, but I would go again :)

Wow - Amazing trip much better than my expectations. 2 places ticked off the bucket list. Made even better with our superb guide Isabella. Let me tell you, she knows her stuff and kept everyone absorbed with her vast knowledge. This is a must trip if you come to Naples. Heet

Pompeia - The visit was very charismatic. It was very interesting to see something as imposing as Vesuvius and to see up close what its eruption caused. Choose the time of year to visit carefully because of the heat. For me it was still very hot in September. But I managed it and I really enjoyed it. Take water with you.

If you want an “okay” tour, this one is for you! - Unlike my other experiences with Viator, this tour was mediocre at best. There was far too much waiting around and downtime on this tour. After the short drive to Pompeii from Naples, we had 25 minutes of wait time before our tour started. Our guide, Monica, was easy to understand, but she spent more time talking than actually showing us the various sights of the ruins. The two hours of tour time at Pompeii is too short. Again, after the tour, we had another 20 minutes of wait time before getting on the bus. The lunch break was over an hour with most of the fellow guests standing around at the end of the time. The hike to Mt. Vesuvius is challenging. The communication of where to meet after hiking by Angela, our bus guide, was not clear. This full day tour could easily be shortened with better management of time.
