You will be able to visit the volcano, which reaches an altitude of 4,203-feet (1,281-meters). From there the crater can be reached on foot by using a path that is 0.75-miles (1,200-meters) long that takes you to the summit of the volcano.

Great driver. Dino was very professional. Wish he spoke more English but he did try. Great driving, especially when climbing Vesuvius. Not impressed with buffalo mozzarella but liked seeing the buffalo! Vesuvius was impressive. Vineyard and lunch excellent but too short. Needed more time for true experience and dessert! Pompeii tour was fabulous. Esther excellent. Drive back to Rome handled perfectly by Dino. Thank you for the experience.
Beautiful tour with Giovanni, who took such care of us and made everything more special and memorable! Strongly recommend, worth taking the private tour!!
This was a very memorable day for our family. I was worried that I had spent too much money on this tour but after pricing things out separately it was a fair deal. The day was fabulous! Our driver was prompt and thoughtful. We had a mozzarella tasting at a dairy. Delicious and unique. Kevin did a terrific job getting us around through narrow streets and up the volcano where there were lots of cars and chaos. We hiked up the volcano on a beautiful day with fabulous views. The lunch and wine tasting was delicious and it is my second time at cantina del Vesuvius. Great lunch! We had a wonderful tour of Pompeii wit Eduardo. Very fun and informative. My children who are in their twenties thought that this day was the best part of our trip. Thank-you for a great memory!
