    Breathtaking views of Naples

    An exciting and evocative visit. An experience that many people should take not only for the spettocarity of the Volcano but also for breathtaking views of Naples.

    Super guided tour

    Beautiful experience, done with my husband and our two children (5 and 8 years old). Tickets are to be bought exclusively online before arriving at the summit as there is no internet. Once through the gate you go up a dirt path. Upon arriving at the crater, the guide described the history of Vesuvius to us in a fascinating way. Very good, very well prepared and most of all able to engage and enthuse the children present!

    Unique experience, very beautiful! I recommend comfortable shoes, and to be provided with a ticket through the website. You enter half an hour before the time indicated on the ticket, because once you arrive you will not find any ticket office on site.
