Well worth it! - Brilliant trip! Getting to Ercolano can be tricky, and train tickets from Napoli can only be booked in person, but once in Ercolano the trip was seamless! But was exactly on time, and plenty of time was given to explore once we reached Vesuvius. An amazing trip and well worth the price for the amazing views from the edge of the crater!

Fantastic trip to mount Vesuvius - We arrived at the office 30 minutes before departure time and were given a voucher. The bus arrived 5 minutes before departure and we were given our tickets to go to the top of Vesuvius . The bus departed on time. The driver was very good. We had 2 hours at the top before the bus would collect us which was plenty of time. The bus collected us on time.

Good driver on hairy roads!! - We were lucky to have sunshine. Amazing views of the Bay of Naples and the Islands. The walk up from the coach drop off was doable in the two hours we had. Coach pick-up/ drop-off area is chaotic. Take a phone picture of the pick-up time, the driver/ the coach registration number. The same coach picks up as drops off. Be back in good time. I was worried about the drive up and down - I'm not good with flying round hair-pin bends on steep hillsides. Thankfully, our driver was absolutely marvellous. He tooted the horn before all sharp blind bends, went steadily and left good distances between himself and other vehicles. I felt completely safe, which made a huge difference to me. It meant I could relax and enjoy the actual trip. Took 35 mins each way roughly. Full coach. No complaints. Well done!!

Great team here! - Super friendly service. We were late and couldn’t find anywhere to park but the team here helped us and said they would wait! Better length of time at the top than another local one we have used before. All good, very pleased and would recommend

Memorable and a Unique Experience! - Although, because of the rain during our visit we were not able to walk the path around the top of Vesuvius, it was still an honor for my family and I to have reached the top. Luca communicated with me for an earlier time due to the rain, and for that I am very grateful! I recommend this trip for any who are interested! If things go wrong, trust you will be treated with respect and compensation.

Good tour - The bus took us right up to the hike! It was quick and easy. Finding the ticket office was a little difficult but after that everything was great!

After the poor check in experience everything was great. - Directions weren’t real clear about where to go to catch the bus. After the check in and once on the bus everything was excellent.

Walk to the top - My most memorable part was that I was able to walk to the top and see inside the crater. It was stunning. On the flip side, we missed the bus back ti the train station as it was chaotic and unorganized. Buses and cars everywhere going in every direction. To get off the mountain, we had to take a taxi, 20 euros each.

Didn’t went well. Not happy ! - We had a very bad experience booking our tickets by Viator. Firstly the tickets assigned was not able to be recognized by the Bus service and secondly we were charged 3 times the original price of Mount Vesuvius. Had to rush here and there at last moment as nobody was having any clue on from the tickets were booked. Finally one lady from Vivatickets helped us and provided 3 tickets for the bus . To which we boarded at last moment. I will not recommend to buy tickets from here and prefer buying from some other places. Please stop charging thrice if you you do not assure to have need to end transparency in providing the service to customer.
