“A great way to see Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. The hike up the volcano was moderate and you need to be pretty quick to get up and back in the time they provide. Make sure you wear good footwear too. Getting to see the crater with smoke coming out was incredible! The tour at Pompeii was great, the place is huge so it was nice getting shown all the most interesting parts with a guide. The lunch was a simple pizza bust very tasty. Only downside was the bus, it was quite old a bit cramped, the aircon was also freezing for everyone on board.”
