Traveler reviews
Mount Vesuvius Tour
The Mount Vesuvius visit was expertly led by, Mario, from Askos Tours. Mario's knowledge of the regions volcanos and the history and scale of the eruption that covered Pompei was very interesting. Spectacular views as you walk up the path and luckily we saw puffs of steam from inside the crater. A very enjoyable afternoon and recommended. Denis
Great trip to Mt Visuvius
Very easy to meet the tour operator at the entrance to Pompeii. Everything was on time. Silvia our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. She pointed out interesting details on the drive and on the hike. Overall an excellent tour!
Spectacular view
Mario was our guide for this tour. Picked up from Pompei Scavi , mini bus to Vesuvius, 45min of walking and return. Marion was excellent he knew not only about Vesuvius and the volcanic activity of the region but much more and was happy to answer our questions. This tour is not a hiking tour (dont worry) The views are spectacular, well worth it
Vesuvius excursion from Pompeii with Aksos Tours (via Viator)
Mario was our expert guide for our excursion to Vesuvius. He was highly knowledgeable and attentive, pausing regularly along the climb to allow the group to take pictures and ask questions. He highlighted a number of key area of interest and I would highly recommend Mario as a guide for anyone looking to understand the history of the mountain and its impact on the local area.
Vesuvius Climb
Mario was a great tour guide. The experience is wonderful. Please note that the hike up to the top is steep and harder than you think. Bring water bottle. Small souvenir shops along the way. Slippery rocks, wear good traction shoes. They will get dirty. Beautiful views of the crater and surrounding towns.
