Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii Day Trip from Naples

Tour / Activity

My Rating: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Location: Naples, Italy

My Review:

This day trip was wonderful. Although I was given a meeting point, the day before the tour Viator tried to call and arrange a pick up at my hotel (I was out seeing Naples). I was met by a friendly guide and escorted onto a clean passenger van. People who brought luggage were accomadated without a problem. The driver drove us safely to Pompeii's ruins, where our guide, who is an archeologist, toured the ruins with us. I thought the "pizza lunch" was going to be cold and eaten on the bus, but we went to a local pizzeria where we were given a choice of pizza which was then prepare and brought to the tables by a waitress. The drive to the top of Mt Vesuvius was done safely. We got a new guide who was born and raised on the mountain, although she didn't climb to the top with us, no problem, you have the rest of the group encouraging you to go to the top. To actually ascend the Mt is a significant undertaking that I didn't complete but all the young people in my group did. This trip was wonderful, and I am hard to please.
