From early November to February the Vesuvius isn't accessible and it is replaced with Positano, except for Christmas period (from 26/12/25 until 02/01/26) when Vesuvius is open.
During summer months in rare cases of inclement weather or strikes, the crater of Vesuvius may be closed to visitors, therefore, if this is the case, it is replaced with a visit to Sorrento where you will get free time to explore the city.
The hike up to the crater of Vesuvius requires a good level of general fitness. The walk is uphill at a 14 degree angle and takes roughly 20 minutes.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The tour itself was great. The only complaint is as a family of tall people, all over 5’10” the buses have no legroom and when you are traveling 3 hour from Rome to Pompeii it’s really realiy uncomfortable. I suggest this tour out of Naples not Rome

We went to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius with Alberto. He was very knowledgeable about both places and the Piazza del Popolo. Yes it was a very long day but very much worth it. We had a great time and I think everyone on our bus did. Alberto knows his stuff.

AMAZING!! Honestly if we hadn’t done this trip to Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius we wouldn’t have been able to fit it in elsewhere. I could’ve spent the whole day at Pompeii but the highlights we hit were PERFECT because it was hot out! Anyway the hike was fabulous and we enjoyed the cool weather hiking up Mt Vesuvius and seeing it in person was mind blowing. Our guide Claire was AWESOME!! She was a fountain of information and we definitely took her up on her menu and trattoria and osteria suggestions. She was very personable and professional. Now Antonio our bus driver! He was next level! How he traversed the road to Mt Vesuvius…I have no words but I can say he’s done it once or twice. He was amazing! Lunch was fantastic! The staff at the restaurant was very attentive and we appreciated their hospitality. Great time!
