5.00The walk is fairly technical and intense, so be ready to have your heart pumping as you climb up. Wear sneakers.

5.00It was an absolute pleasure to be part of Therese’s “family” in Pompeii….. a great tour guide with a lovely personality and an obvious love and knowledge of Pompeii. She brought Pompeii to life for us and we learnt such a lot . A great tour that outweighed our expectations! Mario led the afternoon in Vesuvius: another great guide who shared his knowledge freely and answered questions. The tour up Vesuvius was very well led and paced appropriately for the group. Again we left the tour with a great understanding of Vesuvius and the surrounding area. We would thoroughly recommend.
