Our excursion to Vesuvius and Pompeii was well organized and staff were very friendly. No queuing to either attraction and bus drops at convenient locations. Only feedback is the Vesuvius walk is much further than 1km quoted by the guides from drop off and is not the easy walk it's advertised as. Maps of Pompeii were limited in detail - would have preferred a more explicit map and more detailed audio

Climbing Vesuvius was a great experience. Even so, the package said that it included a volcanologist guide in the visit to the volcano, not only there was no guide but the ONLY thing they told us was that it took 20 minutes to climb (totally false, it takes to get to the first bar) and that in an hour and a half we had to return to the point where the bus had left us. For the visit to Pompeii was with audio guide, not all the regions in Pompeii (important) and those that do enter are not all assigned numbers. In addition I had to download an application that I do not need.... (Because there is no other way to access the entrances). For the rest, correct.

Superb day at Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii. We loved the experience. Everything is well organized. The climb to the summit takes about 30 minutes and is difficult, but once you're up there you won't regret it! All in all, it takes two hours to walk up to the summit, around it and back down again, which leaves plenty of time to enjoy the view (and recover from the climb). For Pompeii, the visit is free. I recommend reserving Vesuvius in the morning so you can enjoy Pompeii in the afternoon, as the site is very large.

We had a lovely day. The tour was well organized, starting with the vesuvius. The time to visit the top of the vesuvius was well calculated, without rushing too much. Then a free tour of Pompeii.
