Description
This tour is an unforgettable experience that will allow you to admire the Bay of Naples from the top of the mountain. The tour starts every day from Naples. After the second stop in Pompeii to pick up the last passengers, the driver will take you to the slopes of the volcano where you will stop at a restaurant with a breathtaking view. Here you will have the opportunity to taste wines, typical of the area, accompanied by inviting local products.

Nice comfortable small group tour. Exactly what we hoped for. The wine tasting included some great authentic Italian food as well which was a pleasant surprise. Plenty of time to enjoy Mt Vesuvius. We managed the hike to the crater and I re- proposed to my wife on the 20 year anniversary of my original proposal on the same spot. A bit more difficult at 74 years old but we did it. And it was raining just like the first time 😁🥰
This was poor for the money I paid, we were driven to a restaurant for a very small lunch and 3 very small samples of wine, then we were driven to the volcano and told to follow the path its about 30 minutes to the top, then we were driven back to our collection points, there was no explanation about where we were or the types of wine we were drinking.
Dear Sirs, you booked a tour and not a class for sommeliers. You were on the Vesuvius as you booked for it!!! You can read below what we write in the description of the tour, and you can see that it is what you did. Discover the volcanic landscape of Vesuvius and unique wines on this combined trekking and tasting adventure. Depart Naples to avoid the hassles of public transport and stop at a panoramic restaurant on the mountain slopes for a typical lunch paired with wines produced in the surrounding vineyards. Then, continue to the trailhead and enjoy free time to hike to the volcanic crater for spectacular views.
The trek to the crate rim and views from there . The lunch and wine tasting were good too. Our guide was knowledgeable and good fun.
Antonio (driver) and Maria (,tour guide) were very nice and professional. I was picked up on time and the wine and lunch were fantastic. Hiking up vesuvius was challenging and fun. Would highly reccomend this tour.
