The reception of the hostesses for the reservation, which had not been transmitted correctly but which was effective. Timetable respected. My advice: Arrive early at Pompei scavi station. To meet at 13:00, take the 11:44 train to Naples.

We liked the friendliness of the staff. They could offer headphones to listen to the audio guide (which is a mobile phone), more comfortably.

This is a ticketed transfer. No guide accompanies us. Time on site is 1h20. Not for everyone. About a 15-minute climb for good walkers, and much longer if you have difficulty, so not much time at the top.

Loved the activity, it was a much longer walk than a few hundred steps though but bus did get us really close. Start place was easy to find and they brought us back to where we started. There was no volcanoligist to take us to the rim howere, you just walk up there, anyone can go so didn't need to upgrade and didn't need the skip the line upgrade as there was no separate place, everyone goes thru the same way.

Climb Mount Vesuvius

If your adventurous spirit is looking for a trip like no other, hop aboard an elegant minivan to the majestic Mt Vesuvius. As you travel on the roads that ascend the slopes, you'll pass the Vesuvian Observatory. Your driver will fill you in on interesting tales of the sights you see on the way. As you reach Vesuvius, you can immediately begin walking up to the crater. When you pause to take a breath, you may find it stolen again by the gorgeous views of the Gulf of Naples and Capri. Unlike most volcanoes, Mount Vesuvius directly looms over cities and human life, offering an impressive view of the surroundings.

Reach the crater

Your Mount Vesuvius tour takes you on a remarkable adventure through the unspoiled scenery of the national park. Once you reach the top, you gaze into the vast chasm from the crater's rim. It's a photographer's dream to be here if you're a hobbyist or professional photographer. Few places in the world contain so much natural beauty and evidence of ancient civilizations in such a small area. Enjoy the tour that checks every box from an expert guide and comfortable transportation from Pompeii and back to skip-the-line tickets and breathtaking views.
