Bucket list item achieved - It was wonderful to climb to the top of Mt Vesuvius. Alessandra S provided excellent commentary and went out of her way to look after our needs. Victor was a terrific driver and we were so thankful to him when he dropped us at the cruise port. Kona Restaurant, where we had lunch , provided a delicious meal with wine tasting. The service was excellent

Climb Mt. Vesuvius: Got it Done! - The stop at the vineyard was very nice, and the lunch was nice too. Climbing Mt. Vesuvius was an accomplishment; had only the weather been better :-( !

A great way to get to Mt - A great way to get to Mt Vesuvius. It was a really hot day in Naples but on the mountains there was a cool breeze. There was plenty of time to reach the volcano & take a free guided tour operated by a seperate organisation.

Absolutely unmissable tour - Absolutely perfect experience. Organized very well, with very kind staff (the shuttle driver even called me to find out where we were as we were a bit late) Van very convenient, tasty lunch in the middle of vineyards and absolutely fabulous Vesuvius tour! A due mention to NUNZIA the guide and FRANCESCO the driver who are really special people. I will absolutely choose the same tour operator next time.

Good tour, but the... - Good tour, but the description is not accurate. This first half of the tour was wine tasting that included lunch which was a great add on bonus being that our tour started at 12pm we just weren’t expecting it and didn’t really know what was going on. After about 1hr at the winery we headed to Mt. Vesuvius. It is a hike up pretty tough under the hot sun, but doable and the view from the top made it worth it. Giuseppe was a great guide.

Good trip, though not primarily Vesuvius - Good trip. The wine tasting/lunch was much more of a focus than Vesuvius, which is basically just a drop-off and pick-up. But the transport was very comfortable, and our driver/host, Giuseppe, was great. Winery trip was good - even bought a bottle. And avoided the hassle of trying to get Vesuvius entry tix on our own. Be aware the trip can take longer than half day. We were picked up at 10:30 (nominal noon booking) and not back in Naples until around 5.

Enjoyable tour but disappointed that it didn’t include going up to the top. - The picture used to promote this tour shows you climbing upto the rim of the crater, but unfortunately isn’t included. We got half way up and came down again. About a 6 1/2 km walk around Vesuvius but not up to the rim which was very disappointing. The trout guide did a good job and explained many things. He was very enthusiastic and knew a lot about volcanoes and Vesuvius. The tour included wine tasting and a light meal, which was really nice and got to meet the other people on the tour. It was good and both my son and myself enjoyed it, but we would have paid extra to go on a tour that included up to the rim and look into the crater.
