Highlights
  • Mount Vesuvius - This tour is dedicated to nature and adventure lovers and will let you discover the peculiar charm of Vesuvius, one of the most famous dormant volcanoes in the world
    Our e-bike tour will start from the Vesuvius valley which we will reach with our van after picking up the participants at the accommodation where they are staying. We will cycle along the road that climbs up to the crater immersed in the characteristic and luxuriant vegetation of Vesuvius in an atmosphere of incomparable charm and enjoying a breathtaking view of the valley below. As we get closer to the top, the vegetation will become increasingly barren until it disappears completely. It will seem to be in a fantasy novel.
    Once we reach the top, we will leave the e-bikes and continue on foot to the crater. While you are enjoying a panoramic walk along the entire perimeter of the crater, the guides of the National Park will be happy, at your request, to tell you about the geology, flora and fauna of Vesuvius, its history and the role it plays in the life of the population lives on its slopes.
    At the end of the visit we will go back down to the valley and return to the starting point of the van tour.

Additional Information

We kick-off our e-bike journey from Vesuvius valley, accessible by van where we will also collect all of our participants from their places of accommodation. Our scenic route takes us up the road to the crater, flanked by Vesuvius’ unique and lush greenery – an unmatched atmosphere further complemented by a sweeping view of the valley underneath. The closer we approach the summit, our surroundings become progressively barren ultimately eliminating all vegetation. Upon reaching the summit, we will abandon our e-bikes and proceed to the crater on foot. Our park guides are eager to share with you the geology, flora, fauna, history, and the contemporary relevance of Vesuvius to its slope-dwellers during your panoramic stroll around the crater’s perimeter. Upon concluding our visit, we will descend back into the valley and return to the van’s launch point.

Excellent E-bike tour - Enchanting ride on Vesuvius, definitely worth reliving! It was a truly surprising tour, both for the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples and for the walk along the edge of the crater, and for having met a guide like Pietro who was competent, helpful and thoughtful especially with those who felt less safe in bike, he had a watchful eye on every occasion. As for the bikes and equipment, excellent!! New bikes! Going up was truly a walk in the park, even for those who haven't ridden a bike for many years. Thanks also to Carlo who followed us with the shuttle just in case. See you soon for more tours with you.

A great way to experience ebiking and great scenery - We thoroughly enjoyed the ebike ride with Peter up the mountain. We were only give 1 hr 10mins to see the crater, which we didn't feel was long enough. The additional walk up and down to get to the crater took up a lot of time, as a result, we were later returning to meet Peter

Great bike ride - highly recommend! - Fantastic Vesuvius bike ride. Peter was a great tour guide - very friendly & made the ride great fun. Peter collected us from our hotel in Sorrento & dropped us back after. Really good e-bikes. Unfortunately we couldn’t walk the crater due to windy weather at the top. We have subsequently received a refund for this part of the tour. However, Peter offered us the option to walk the nature trail to the lava river instead which was a great alternative. Highly recommend.

Best Way to See Mount Vesuvius - Fantastic day! Highly recommend this tour. Pietro (Peter) was an absolutely wonderful guide. We enjoyed his company on the drive to and from Vesuvius from Sorrento. The bikes were in perfect condition and made for smooth sailing to get to the top of the volcano. We then had a little over an hour at the crater to view on our own before flying down the mountain to the car. It was such a fun way to see Mount Vesuvius, and I am so glad we chose this option for seeing it.

Fantastic experience - This was a fabulous tour. We were staying in Naples so got the train to Torre del Greco (20 mins) where we were picked up outside the station promptly at 8 by Pietro. It was just me and my husband and after driving a short distance to the bottom of the road up to Versuvius , bike instructions and transfer of our tickets onto my phone we were off. The electric bikes were fab and Pietro was very friendly, attentive, helpful and informative. After about an hour ( with a break along the climb) we arrived at the walk to the top section where we left the bikes with Pietro and off we went. It was a hot 35/40 minute walk to the top and then about 20 mins down. We didn't get a view of the bay as it was cloudy but we did get mist rising from Versuvius. brilliant. The free wheel ride back down was amazing and we had smiles on our faces all the way down, even on some of the more hair-raising bends with the buses coming up. We really enjoyed the tour and are so glad we did. Slightly sore backsides and aching legs aside this was a once in a lifetime experience. So much better than being herded onto a bus and a really enjoyable few hours.

Brilliant bike tour! - Such a fantastic trip. Pietro was brilliant, chatted the whole way there, really informative. Bikes were brilliant. Our son , Olly, is only 12 years old and Pietro made sure he was okay every step /pedal of the way. We felt safe with him and looked after. We laughed the whole day. If you want to see Mount Vesuvius take this tour it was one of our highlights on our holiday. Thanks Pietro it was brilliant. Olly is still talking about the fast ride back! Such fun no need to peddle going back down! Loved it!

Great guide, great gear and great views - I made a mistake in going to the wrong station, but nothing was too much trouble for our guide Peter who came and collected us. Fantastic bikes in 1st class condition, best guide and the views were just awesome. The ride back down is worth the hard work!

An extraordinary experience that cannot be missed! - I had the most amazing experience taking the tour to Mt.Vesuvius on the e-bikes! The staff were all so warm and very professional. The booking process was easy and streamlined. The e-bikes made going up the inclines on the way to the volcano so easy that even a novice cyclist like myself had a fun time. You can turn down the assistance from the bike as well so that you can have a more challenging ride. The views were incredible and simply cannot be missed. I’d highly recommend Enjoy Bike Sorrento with Fabio as the guide, and this tour to anyone looking for something special to do while vacationing in the area.

Fantastic trip! - Fabulous day with a fantastic and very professional company. Fabio and Pietro definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful experience. We loved the e bikes and of course, peering into the crater of mount Vesuvius is something we’ll never forget. Thank you!
