“Excellent organisation and great trip. Disappointingly the weather meant we couldn’t see anything once we got up to the top and it was very wet. But you can’t control the weather. The trek up to the top is quite severe and I found it difficult but I’m happy that I can say I did it.”

3.Vesuvius National Park Skip-the-Line Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 221 reviews · from $25

Enter Vesuvius National Park with a direct mobile ticket and visit Mount Vesuvius at your own pace. Your ticket covers admission only, not parking, shuttles, or transport. Expect a visit of 80 minutes to four hours, depending on your route and starting time.

“A must see location if visiting Naples or the surrounding area. If self driving, get there early (0830 - 0900) and be prepared for $7 card only parking payment. Where you park is “not” the entrance. They got this pretty well dialed in for added shuttle service to entrance. Recommend walking; 20 - 30 min. Once you get to the “trail” entrance take this and you avoid all the tourist trap stuff. PLUS, you will see almost no one and obtain amazing views not seen from the pack. During my journey up, only saw 2 other trail hikers. Total time was like 25 min but I was cruising up. It’s…”

5.From Sorrento: Pompeii and Vesuvius Skip-the-Line Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7 reviews · from $191

Travel from Sorrento, Piano di Sorrento, Sant’Agnello, Seiano, or Vico Equense to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. An English-speaking guide leads a two-hour Pompeii visit, followed by 80 minutes at the volcano. Groups are capped at 12, and guide Frankie is praised for his clear, lively explanations.

“We had a great tour guide Frankie in Pompei who was full of information and had a great personality. The description was a little misleading in my opinion, describing time after Pompei to look at shops or have a bite to eat. We were immediately put on another bus to go to Mt Vesuvius. After being picked up at 7.30am we needed some food between tours. We had a lot of wasted time until 9.10am before going into Pompei. A great tour combination, but I felt a little disorganised with times.”
