NO WORDS! Incredible! - OH my gosh ... I don't know where to start! First of all our driver went over and above to pick us up and get us situated into the park. The hike was unbelievable. One of our favorite activities while we were on our cruise. Hiking to the top of Mount Vesuvius was a once in the lifetime events. The weather was a little cold and windy ... but clear. We could see everything from on top. THANK YOU for making it such a great event!

Don’t Miss This Amazing Experience! - Excellent driver! On time, right where they said he would be. Drive us to the end of the road halfway up Vesuvius, and the rest was our hike. Breathtaking. He picked us up on time and took us back to the meeting point. Highly recommend!

A great way to see Mt Vesuvius from Naples in only half a day . - The trip was excellent. Had fantastic views from Mt. Vesuvius. The bus from the pickup spot left exactly on time. It took less than an hour to get to Mt. Vesuvius. We were given about two hours on the mountain which was more than enough time to get up for some tremendous views. There are guides that can provide a lot of interesting information. The bus back to Vesuvius left right on time and we were back in Naples before 1:30. A fantastic morning.

Poor meet up and overpriced - The meet up was poorly described. We thought we were meeting a Guide and not a bus. If I had not texted, we Would have missed the whole tour. I think the price was high. Better To just take a cab to Vesuvius.

Meh…. - The bus tour turned out to be a maxi taxi with even the seats next to the driver being used. Got no information/commentary from the driver - maybe a few words but couldn’t make out what was said due to the volume of his music. Basically it was a drive to the mountain, and a drive back to Naples with the entrance ticket to the national park included.

Okay - Getting there was a bit chaotic, we had to sit 90 minutes in bus picking up people. A lot of them ended up standing which was unacceptable. We were told we would be picked up at 9.30 and be back at 12.30 , we didn’t arrive until 11.45 after being picked up at 9.30 . Transport company needs a shake up

Mixed reactions - When I boarded the bus near the Central bus station, Ciro told me my ticket was only for the bus. illenia sent two of the same vouchers for bus transportation only. I messaged back the company and was referenced again the bus transportation voucher. I asked again, stating it was only for bus transportation. Finally I got the voucher for admission to the Mount Vesuvius. I would like to commend Ciro for bringing this my attention. Otherwise this fatal error would have ruined the day. There would have been no communication once I got there to fix the problem. A staff member was nice enough to give me a ride up to where the guide starts the mini tour. The guide was thorough about the mountain and the eruptions. It was about 15 minutes to the end to walk which affords very scenic views of the Bay of Naples. On the way back Ciro was gracious to let me get off in the city center. I would like to thank him again for saving the day.
