Recent Reviews from Other Travelers
What a wonderful experience - small group, friendly knowledgeable guide, prompt pick-up...certainly a highlight of our trip.
We didn't have enough time to do Mt. Vesuvius the way it should be done. We only had 1 hour after we arrived at Mt. Approx 25 minutes to walk to the top and 25 min to walk back down. No time to walk around to view the Volcano.
