Mt Vesuvius was about 25min walk up gravelly path depending on how many pics you take! Surprised to see steam coming from a few parts of volcano reminds you its active! This is a good way to combine both attractions in a single day mt Vesuvius you don’t need more than 90mins to walk with pics Pompeii you could spend all…”

She made sure we saw as much as possible in the relatively short time we were there (which in the sun, was just a perfect length for me). They gave us a quick moment to buy a souvenir & off we went. It was a great morning activity. We were back in Napoli for lunch. FYI - bring a water bottle (you can refill it using one of the fountains in Pompeii) and .50€ in case…”

“I am so glad we found this tour! We were 7 friends and all of us were super happy with our guide and the whole tour. We were picked up in a very comfortable van, the guide told us so many interesting things already on the way to Pompeii. He asked us what we would like to see and do most and kept our moods up at all times. The tour was very interesting and the guide knew probably everything there is to know about the whole area. We learned so much! Time flew by and we we'rent bored or tired for one second. Lunch and wine were also a…”

“Not very good value for money. If you want to do this trip, would work out cheaper to get your train ticket and separate transfer to Vesuvius and entry to Vesuvius. Had to collect train ticket at Sorrento before journey. On arrival at Pompeii Scavi – instruction was to get further ticket for entry from office on the first floor. Staff there not very helpful or pleasant. Bus took one hour from train station in a very uncomfortable vehicle to start of climb. There was supposed to be a guide when we got to Vesuvius but no details provided of how we met them, as a result we didn’t have…”
