Negative experience Tour on Vesuvius
The lady at the Via Pretris Napoli point sold us 2 tickets for approx. €45 each for an excursion to Vesuvius on July 1st, telling us that they would take us to the top and that we only had to walk 100 meters to see the crater + the audio guides. We repeatedly specified that my husband and I had problems walking. Once we reached the area with the shuttle at the foot of Vesuvius, we instead had to walk 2 km uphill on a dirt road with curves. Therefore, we had to give up and wait until 1:30 PM for the return shuttle. €90 wasted. Upon returning, we went to complain to the same young lady, but she reiterated her version, that is, that one could go up to the top with the shuttle.
Now I wonder if the staff is trained sufficiently or if she saw us as 2 naive tourists to rip off.
Operator response
Gentile Cliente, siamo profondamente dispiaciuti per quanto accaduto e per il disagio che voi e vostro marito avete subito. La salute e la sicurezza dei nostri passeggeri sono la nostra priorità assoluta.
Vi assicuriamo che la trasparenza è alla base del nostro servizio e che il nostro personale viene costantemente formato per dare informazioni precise. Le auto e i bus turistici, per regolamento del Parco Nazionale, possono arrivare solo fino al piazzale di quota 1.000, da cui parte il sentiero a piedi per il cratere. Quanto vi è stato riferito non rispecchia assolutamente i nostri standard aziendali.
Ci informeremo immediatamente su quanto accaduto con il personale del punto vendita per fare piena luce su ciò che è successo. Speriamo sinceramente che possiate tornare a viaggiare con i nostri servizi in futuro per offrirvi una nuova esperienza al massimo della nostra disponibilità e cura. Cordiali saluti.

Good communication and excursion
Well organized trip with a lot of flexibility from the organization. Due to miscommunication with a local person, we had missed the bus, but thanks to the fast and active communication, everything turned out fine. In short: definitely recommended!

TRAMVIA TO AVOID
No tickets available on arrival, your host Salvatore takes your phone for 1 hour to order tickets for the whole group. We had relaunched the company twice because we did not have the tickets sent by email but nothing was done. Members of the group did not have time to climb to the top of the crater. The return bus does not drop you off at the stop originally planned to save time on its tour.
Operator response
La ringraziamo per la franchezza. Leggendo il suo racconto, è chiaro che la vostra esperienza sia stata segnata da una catena di disservizi che non rappresentano i nostri standard.
Siamo profondamente rammaricati che il grande impegno di Salvatore, che ha cercato per un'ora di rimediare a un errore tecnico, non sia bastato a garantirvi una visita serena. È inaccettabile che le vostre comunicazioni precedenti siano rimaste inascoltate dalla compagnia, portando poi alcuni membri del gruppo a non poter raggiungere la cima del cratere: questo è il punto che ci dispiace di più, poiché era l'obiettivo della vostra giornata.
Anche la decisione di cambiare la fermata dell'autobus, sebbene presa nel tentativo di recuperare tempo, si è rivelata un ulteriore disagio per voi e di questo ci scusiamo sinceramente.
Abbiamo già aperto un confronto interno con la compagnia di trasporti e il servizio di biglietteria per capire perché i vostri solleciti siano stati ignorati. Il suo feedback ci è purtroppo necessario per far sì che situazioni del genere non si ripetano.
Speriamo che, nonostante tutto, abbiate potuto apprezzare la dedizione del nostro staff sul campo."

Nice trip, bad organization
First of all, Mount Vesuvius is definitely worth a visit and as such was a nice excursion. However, I will not travel with Tramvia again. On arrival everything was still perfectly fine, the bus arrived on time at the agreed stop and then drove us to a neighboring village below Vesuvius. There we changed buses and drove to Mount Vesuvius. There the bus driver showed a sign with the departure times that were available: 1:30, 3:00 and 4:30. We decided to increase the bus at 15:00. However, this never came. After consulting the tour operator, we should have taken the bus from Busvia, which we were not aware of. Some fellow passengers then took the scheduled bus to Pompeii unnervingly. The bus at 4:30 p.m. came lucky.
Operator response
Sehr geehrter Kunde, wie Sie richtig gesagt haben, fahren die Shuttlebusse vom Vesuv nach Neapel um 13:30, 15:00 und 16:30 Uhr. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie den Shuttlebus nicht erkennen konnten. Der betreffende Shuttlebus ist jedoch regelmäßig gefahren

Poorly regulated
Combination excursion booked with first a visit to Pompei and then Mount Vesuvius. Arriving at Pompei, the tour guide told us that there were 2 departure times for the bus to Mount Vesuvius. Or 2:30 or 3:00. We had initially booked for 3 hours, but according to her you could leave earlier. This is what we did, we took the bus from half past 2 to Mount Vesuvius. Once there it turned out that we had only received 1 entrance ticket instead of 3 pieces. As a result, we couldn't get in. No solution was found on the spot and so went down again. Contacted the organization, who said that we had been too early because we had booked 3 hours and that therefore the tickets were not yet valid. But with that one card, one of us just had access so this was bullshit. Indicated that this was indicated in the bus according to the tour guide, but no response was ever received.
All in all very poor communication and very disappointing arranged.
Thick thumbs down for Tramvia

An unforgettable experience on Mount Vesuvius!
The visit to Vesuvius was simply amazing. Climbing up to the crater, breathing in the clean air and watching the breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples is something you will not easily forget. The route is well organized and accessible, and once at the top, the view pays off every step you take. It is fascinating to think about the power of the volcano and its history. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to connect with nature and an important piece of our past. Exciting, instructive and absolutely to do at least once in a lifetime!
