Mount Vesuvius tickets and tours

Pompei is a must visit, large and impressive. But be sure to stop at the restrooms when entering and bring your own Food and drinks (there are free waterpoints) because there is no Food aan beverage other than the restaurant by the station (which has a good kitchen!).

With my wife we have managed to reach the crater, it has cost me a lot because the COVID left my lungs half battered. In the crater we had breakfast, excellent chat with the vendors while waiting for the bus, very good experience.

Very good service. Punctual and friendly. No setbacks. 👍

Super magnificent, nothing to say except that you must visit the town of Pompei 😍😍

An unmissable glimpse into how the Ancient Romans lived. There are so many interesting houses, streets, and monuments to explore in Pompeii.

No audio-guide or info supplied and some confusion to take the transfer bus back to Pompeii as the one we should get on was already full and had to wait for the next one. I understand that August is a busy time but felt a bit of a mess in the bus area in front of the entrance to Vesuvio. Still, awesome views!

Discovering the crater of the mythical Vesuvius was a dream. Getting there was very easy thanks to the shuttle bus that drops you off at the bottom of the small path leading up to it. On the other hand, I found the service very expensive, given that there isn't even a small paper guide to the volcano!

Compliments for arranging early entry to Vesuvius, as otherwise we would have had to wait 40 minutes until the scheduled time. What could be improved is letting visitors know in advance that with online tickets, they need to check in with the staff member wearing a yellow shirt.

The time is not enough to enjoy the Mt. Vesuvius. You should add 30 minutes minimum for the experience. The rest was great.

What a dilapidated minibus we were put in with windows hanging and dangling and shock absorbers that were worn out so you thought your last hour had come. I am 183 cm tall and normally built and my legs couldn't be there at all, there is so little space. At the top, the instructions themselves were given in an unclear language so those of us at the back of the bus didn't understand what the speed talk was about? Problems getting in past the guard because your paper ticket had to be used and not your app. blatantly strange. We were delayed 10 minutes out of the 25 minutes it took to get up, but we got up and enjoyed the view and then we had to rush down to catch the bus back - otherwise we had to buy a taxi which was also a tourist trap. I wonder what it would have cost us if we had come down too late? The descent... The bus driver drove down too fast in a curve so we tipped far to one side and almost fell over. So we sat there with our hearts in our throats thinking our lives depended on a driver who drove at a breakneck pace. But if nothing else the sun was shining and we had the most beautiful view of the whole place. That gives it three stars, everything else was just another tourist trap.

Very good for the tickets. However, I had not been informed that I still had to stop, pay for parking and pay for a shuttle to get on and off. The people weren't very friendly either. And the accompaniment was just a guide we already had... Rather disappointing

The organization was perfect. The round-trip time between the bus parking lot and the cone of Vesuvius is correct. Only downside: the bus driver spends the whole trip on the phone, driving one-handed on very steep roads.

Awsome trip to the vulcano, but very expensive and no audio guide was provided as desribed in the booking confirmation. It is easy to go there and only entrance tickets are needed

It all worked out, we received the tickets in exchange for the code. Quick admission without any problems. The travel guide is an interesting little book (and not a person!)

A convenient way to take a walk on Vesuvius as an alternative to regular buses and their schedules. Clearly, you pay for the service

Transportation was prompt-the ride up and down the mountain was harrowing but that's due to the roads. The "4" is because there wasn't a guide and there wasn't enough time for a guide anyway. You had 25 minutes to get up the mountain, 20 minutes at the peak, and 25 minutes to get back down and you got back on the bus.

This experience was very good. Not too busy. Toilets weren't clean, no toilet paper so bring your own. Well worth a visit to see crater. Staff pleasant

No guide or audioguide provided. Time on site could have been longer, so we had to hurry in order to complete the tour.

The hiking was great. The history of this place and the energy is magnetic.

Quick and easy starter. Thanks 🙏

Pick-up in Naples, so no need to worry about transport.

It was a very nice tour through Pompeii and the guide was great. Thank you very much.

The service is very professional and accommodating. Well organized and straightforward. Well worth the price

Perfectly organized trip, nothing to complain about!

They were helpful and explained things

A tough climb in hot weather, but a great experience at the top.

Convenient, easy to find and follow, whether you're going there or back.

It was an interesting experience. The trip was well organized, punctual and comfortable. I recommend it.

The good and efficient organization. The safe drivers. A little more time in Pompeii would be good as there is a lot to see. The introduction was a bit hectic but OK.

As I was due to visit Herculaneum, I was enrolled in a group visiting Pompeii with 'l'agence autour du Vésuve'. Fortunately, this agency took care of us so that we could visit Vesuvius and Herculaneum (shuttles between Pompeii/Vesuvius/Herculaneum and entrance tickets). Many thanks to this agency for their professionalism. So a mixed experience, since we weren't registered in the right group.

I missed the tour because trenitalia was 2h delayed. This is not your fault. But the support told me I should take a taxi to vesuvius and join the tour there. But the tour didn't wait there either and the support didn't reply anymore. So I spent 90.- for a taxi for nothing.

The service was great and the sites were out of this world. Highly recommended.

Weather and destinations. Less good the bus drivers, very loud and extremely fast

As so many others have mentioned, the only good thing about this tour was the transportation! The driver was perhaps the rudest person I've ever encountered while traveling (a person who voluntarily deals with tourists and still being this rude and inconsiderate, he honestly should be fired from this company!) Weather was unpredictable, which is beyond anyone's control, however, we were dropped off at Mt. V without being told that there was Zero visibility at the top or even being given the option to skip it, a total waste of an hour plus of our day. After the volcano, we were dropped off at Herculaneum. Far too much time was allowed for this location- it can be seen within an hour. By time we got to Pompeii, we were told that the buildings were going to be closed within 15 minutes. Having entered on the far end near the stadium, totally ruined our plan to see the highlights. We have actually been to Pompeii before and were very excited to be back, however this tour (or lack thereof) just ruined all we were excited about! DO NOT make the mistake that I did, I always take reviews with a grain of salt, but assume it of course cannot be that bad. Unfortunately this tour was the worst. We paid a good amount of money, which honestly we should have received a discount due to the bad weather or even a cancellation of the tour beforehand, we would have had a better day just doing our own thing! Would never recommend this tour for anyone, please go look elsewhere the tour and money spent will be better for you!

Very well organized trip, meeting points clear and easy to find. Enough time in each place to see everything. We highly recommend this activity, which allows you to see 3 emblematic places close to Naples in one day!

Good transport and organisation. Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum. In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit. This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day.

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!

I didn't really go, I didn't make it to the bus, but I managed to contact the organizater and got my pompeii entrance ticket and used them to go on my own. 10/10 communication experience

The bus between the two venues was good.

Impersonal tour. Felt herded as so busy. The ai tour of Herculaneum was unimpressive so we ended up going round u guided. Didn't have long enough to truly see the site. Had no clue how long the climb at Vesuvius would be. Regret booking via this agent which was in fact through Around Vesuvius.

I am disappointed in this excursion. We were promised a skip-the-line with about 8 people at the top of Vesuvius with guided tour by a volcanologist in Angel. We just hiked up to the top with our van of 25 people each at our own pace. There was no "line" to skip at the top. There was also no guide to give us the tour in English. There were guides just standing around and we were told to wait and see if any more people wanted an English-speaking guide because they didn't want to do it for the 2 of us. Really a letdown. Then we continued by van to Herculaneum. Apparently the promised audio guide was something we had to download ourselves on our cell phone. I don't carry earbuds so it was very inconvenient to walk around that way. Also, the system locked up after the introduction and I didn't get on it with my cell phone after that. I want to use my cell phone to take pictures and not as an audio guide. So there was a very bad connection with 4G + the battery of my cell phone would never have been enough either should I have been able to receive the audio guide via my cell phone.

Both guides, Mario for Vesuvius and Yolanda for Pompeii, were exceptional. Very dynamic, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout. I highly recommend them!

They charged me an extra 40€ because by mistake you gave me the ticket from Pompeii instead I had asked for it from Naples; 40€ paid to be able to leave from Naples moreover without any receipt

Because of the weather, Vesuvius was closed. The office girl told me I will get refund in 24 hours , I have not received refund yet, could you please process refund as soon as possible. Thanks. Jian

The speed with which tickets are obtained and the respect shown to visitors.

This tour is basically a travel service between Pompei, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We were taken to Mt Vesuvius and left there - told to meet the bus at particular time. Considerable confusion about which bus to get on - driver very confused. Next we were dropped at Herculaneum with an audio guide that was totally separate to the Herculaneum numbers so when you played it, it didn't match where you were. Got back to bus at time we were told. Company miscounted number of participants so we had to sit and wait an extra 15 minutes. Driver was not happy and drove us back to Pompei in a very unsafe manner (130km/hr) on highway in a rickety minibus. Then we were left at Pompei with audio guide which had to be returned by 5.30 so you could get your ID back. An extremely disorganised company and too expensive to basically pay for transport and entry tickets. Enjoyed climbing Mt Vesuvius and wandering around Pompei and Herculaneum without audio guides.

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.

Yolanda was a very knowledgeable tour guide in Pompei. We went straight to the most impressives spots and her comments were very interesting. I recommand this tour guide.

Mount Vesuvius, the Pompeii site

Completely imerssive and humbling history lesson.

Organização e transporte para o Vesúvio

easy to book, easy to find the place and the journey was as expected.

Pompei is a must visit, large and impressive. But be sure to stop at the restrooms when entering and bring your own Food and drinks (there are free waterpoints) because there is no Food aan beverage other than the restaurant by the station (which has a good kitchen!).

Pick-up in Naples, so no need to worry about transport.

Perfectly organized trip, nothing to complain about!

I did not have any audio guide despite the fact that it was included, so I only went for a 1 km walk

What I liked: the beauty of the site. However, I found the drivers unpleasant, the time at Vesuvius too short, the instructions unclear.

None of your service, insufficient time. Vesuvius is majestic, it does not deserve such a lousy service as the one you offer.

I'm still waiting for information about ticket refunds as Vesuvius was closed on the day we booked.

Warning!!! We had a meeting point on the application that was different from the tickets we had not paid attention that there were 2 different meeting points one on our order and one on the tickets ... it's still surprising ... so we went to the wrong place. Obviously, despite numerous emails, it was impossible to get a refund. We were on time at the meeting point and we couldn't take the tour. This is not well explained because we had done another tour with this site and the meeting place was on the order on the application. I wouldn't recommend this booking site, it was the 1st time I'd done it with them. I won't do it again and will do it with other more reliable sites.

The meeting and transportation went well. We were not offered an audio guide. When we arrived at the parking lot, there was no skib-the-line. We had to queue as normal. And the guided tour with a volcanologist is part of the entrance ticket anyway. We would have had to wait 20 minutes for the tour. So the included services are also a bit of a sham. But Vesuvius was an impressive experience.

the shuttle bus system is almost compulsory to go on the vesuvius. but the experience is great. we'd just like the tour to be longer 1h30 on the vesuvius is a pain, especially if you want to take advantage of the guide's explanations.

There was no guidebook or audio guide

Molt puntuals tant a l'anada com a la tornada i molt agradables ela guies

The tour was great there was a guide on bus that told you a Little about what you were seeing and a bit of history. Only wish we could have stopped at the top of Mount Vesuvius. Tho you do get to stop at an observation spot for a few quick pics. The guide we had at Pompeii was excellent she was very knowledgeable and fun. Also she tried to keep you in the shade as much as possible. The pizza place was alright only problem is drinks weren't included and it's 4 euros for a coke. There then that it was an awesome experience!

We recently took a day tour from Rome to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, and overall, it was a well-organised and memorable experience. Positives: Our guide from Rome was really friendly and knowledgeable, which made the day enjoyable and engaging. The tour itself was well organised, with everything running smoothly and on time. We had a lovely group of fellow travellers, which added to the experience. The Pompeii excursion was excellent – fascinating, informative, and definitely the highlight of the day. However, the guide could have been more engaging and lacked passion. She also didn't read the audience well and took us to the red light districts, going into detail about sexual organs, lustful actions, and took us to a whore house, with our young teenagers. Smaller kids were also on other tour doing the same route, which is ridiculous! Other things to be aware of: The pit stop halfway through the journey was quite expensive, so it's worth bringing your own snacks if you're on a budget. Lunch at the included restaurant was okay, but the main pizza (a margherita) was disappointing – the tomato purée lacked flavour, and overall the food could have been better. The toilets at the restaurant were poor, with some not flushing – not ideal on a long day trip. The Mount Vesuvius portion of the tour, the second part, only takes you about two-thirds of the way up by tour bus. There's no option to walk to the summit on this particular tour. That said, the views from where we stopped were absolutely stunning and well worth seeing. Overall: A worthwhile trip if you're looking for a convenient way to explore Pompeii and get a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius, but a few practical details could be improved.

It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Many thanks to our guide, Antonini, who explained everything with love and patience and took care of us, to Luca, the driver for making our journey comfortable and smooth and to Willy, our guide in Pompeii, with a great sense of humor, who made the visit very enjoyable. Thank you for everything and for taking such good care of us. Grazie per tutti! A big hug!

Everything was very well organized. The guides were very nice and friendly. The guide in Pompeii was also nice and conveyed the knowledge well. The food was great, but I would have liked them to explain to us what exactly was on the table. On the Versuv we went up by bus and straight back down again. We would have liked to have been able to walk up a bit more. All in all, a very nice trip, as long as you don't mind long (very long) bus rides

Pompei and the Vesuvius

1. Pompeii tour 2. Lunch 3. Mount Vesuvius visit

It was great trip with fantastic guides and ofcourse best driver in Italy.

Everything was perfectly organized, accompanied in a friendly, committed and informative manner.

I found the nstructions poor and therefore my experice was bad

Very nice program points and tight organization.

First of all, thank you for this day. Even though it's over 600km from Rome, it was worth every effort. Seeing Pompeii is a highlight. Superbly preserved, you get a wonderful insight into Roman life. Via Appia Antica is an orphan compared to the roads here. The paintings are also very well preserved. The funniest thing we found was the 90 fast food stations for local residents. At first we were worried that we would only see a small corner in the two hours. But our local guide had a great route and we were able to see a lot. Vesuvius was much more stressful afterwards. You are chased up the mountain on a full stomach and have to be back down at a certain time. I can say one thing. We're not the least fit, but it was close. We were two minutes late. One criticism in passing. The restaurant for the toilet break is outrageously overpriced. From time to time the trip feels like a coffee run. But let's put that to one side, you can decide against it and not buy anything. The day was great and we would book it again and again.

I thought Pompeii was good and I would have liked to have had longer. It felt like we'd just touched on the story and didn't get to see any tombs apart from one. Also I thought we were going to walk up Vesuvius from the bottom to top not be driven up there to walk the last 20 minutes. Also we had to wait for our guide to translate into Spanish at each section because we had a couple who were Spanish whilst the rest of us were English. I'm sure we would have seen a lot more had this not been the case.

This Pompii & Mount Vesuvius tour started dot on time. All along our guide Laura was awsome. She was exprienced guide very friendly and professional. She took care of each passenger on board. The driver Dan was also lovely. The tour was organised well with frequent toilet breaks and covered all what was in the itinerary.

Our guide was great. He was young and excited and his English was very good. Manuelo (?) was ideal to represent your company to a foreigner. It was a very full itinerary and the included lunch was delicious and FILLING!

I liked everything, the information shared by the guides, all very professional, Barbara is spectacular and made us feel very good throughout the tour. I would have liked to see a little more of the tour inside Pompeii, but everything is well scheduled for the established time, good organization. Highly recommend the tour.
