    5-star experience

    Visiting Vesuvius was a magnificent experience. The walk from an altitude of one thousand is about 20 minutes and already from there you can admire a breathtaking view of the sea and the islands (Ischia,Capri etc...). When you reach the summit the spectacle is even more majestic. We were very lucky to find the guide who answered numerous questions and immersed us in the history of Vesuvius. Through his detailed narration he managed to take us back in time and let us discover what the before and after of this beautiful place was like. Thank you, see you next time!!!

    Experience to be had

    Very interesting to see the big cone, at least for us who had never seen a volcano "up close." Our guide was very knowledgeable, kind and especially engaging with the children. If you are in these parts seriously consider going up. By the way, the view from up there is breathtaking, a must see as soon as possible!
