Climb to the peak of Mount Vesuvius and enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the Neopolitan bay offered by the summit of this volcano.
We'll pick you up from the agreed meeting point at the indicated time and hit the road to Torre del Greco, the town at the foot of Campania's most famous volcano.
From here we begin a trail by foot, which will eventually take us to the peak of the mountain. At almost 1,000 m (3,280 ft) high, from the top you can enjoy some fantastic views of the Neopolitan bay. It was in this area of the Mediterranean where in 79 AD a famous eruption took place, devastating the towns of Pompei, Herculaneum and Stabiae.
As we descend the mountain we'll learn more about this tragic event, which came to pass in the time of the Roman empire. We'll also discover some unusual facts about this mountain, which has appeared in numerous films and TV series, making it one of the most filmed volcanoes in Europe along with another Italian one; Mount Etna.
We'll return to the bus that will take us back to Naples, where we'll conclude this 3.5 to 4-hour activity.
The ascent to Mount Vesuvius will take place on foot up to an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,937 feet). People with mobility problems or those who do not wish to climb to the summit of Vesuvius can wait for the group at the rest point at the bottom of the mountain.
Although it's not common, it may happen that for weather reasons the crater is closed to visits. In that case, we will stop at a viewpoint to take photos.
During the bus journey, you'll enjoy commentary from an English-speaking driver.
Please note that the climb up Mount Vesuvius can only be made with the park's own internal guides, as external guides are not permitted access. Park guides generally speak English and Italian. Availability of an English-speaking guide for this section of the tour cannot be guaranteed, and on occasion this service may not be available, meaning the visit will be self-guided.
When making your booking, you can choose whether you'd like to start the tour at your hotel in Naples or at the cruise terminal or instead go straight to the central station (just outside the Star Hotel Terminus in Plaza Garibaldi).
Please note that pickup service at the port of Naples is only available for cruise ship passengers. If you're staying in the city, we'll pick you up at your hotel or the train station.
