Direct route to the Vesuvio cone and a majestic view (with a bit of walking - bring appropriate shoes) - Great opportunity to visit the crater directly with direct transport from Napoli centre (Garibaldi Square). Bus was well AC'd and driving was managed safely -- no mean feat with the windy roads heading up the cone or the oncoming tourism traffic. You get a good 1 hour and a bit (+15 or 30 minutes, depending on arrival time) to scale the 1.4 km of steep walking up to the cone. I recommend bringing plenty of water and appropriate footwear as in spite of the distance as the crow flies, it is one steep walk. Fortunately, there are plenty of refreshment stations/shops/cafes on the climb up and when you eventually reach the top. The view on both sides (crater and coast) is well-worth the hike!

Great experience - The bus driver was excellent driving the crazy narrow road. The hike to the crater was very doable. The bus was comfortable.

Good but crowded in summer - But your ticket for the entrance for the Vesuvius Park yourself online ,you pay 11 euro. Around Vesuvio will charge you more. I paid 16 with them plus 20 for the ride. Moderate hike up to the crater and good views from up there,just not an ideal hike in summer but getting there on the first tour of the morning would be just fine and you would avoid the crowds if people arriving later on.Also a little bit if more free time could be a plus

NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE - The excursion started with a small delay at the meeting point, completely understandable with the traffic in Naples. However, the bus was in good condition and comfortable. I paid for the 3-hour tour with guide for 4 people, paying 45 euros each instead of 39.90, just to have the guide. Once we arrived at the turnstiles, after the long walk to get to the top, we found no guide. Last but not least, meeting at the entrance at 3.40pm, when the vehicle arrived there was total confusion, with many people gathered waiting for the bus to Naples, with related discussions between passengers. Overall, disappointing experience for organization

Scam!!! - This company is scam and falling apart in organisation. Nobady there on pick up point instead they give you redirection. Of course nobdy there either. When you try to call they are rude and hung up on you. Our trip didnt happen because they didn' show up! When you try to make refund they laugh at you. Book somwhere else and spare yourself a lot of stress.
