Traveler reviews
Fun to see this iconic volcano
Gradual incline the whole way, loose gravel. Easy to moderate incline. The parking/shuttle drop off area is very disorganized. They need to have better queue signs for where to stand when you need a ride back down. It was very congested with busses and vans coming in and dropping hoards of people off with no designated drop-off zones. Just seems like that could be better managed. Also there are several steps for each person to do on their phone before you can start the tour (download an app, sign in, etc). Not sure what children without a device do because there are no headsets.
Waste of money - don't buy
Waste of money. The audio guide is read by an AI voice and doesn't tell you anything you didn't either already know, or could read on the info boards on the way up. It's possibly AI generated entirely - it certainly reads as if it could be. The "skip the line" tickets were totally irrelevant as there was no line. And the timed ticket entry is seemingly meaningless - we arrived as 12 instead of 11 after bus delays and nobody batted an eyelid. We have done other viator guided trips and thought they were excellent but this one is a total waste of money. Just turn up, buy tickets, walk up the volcano.
We were sent an email...
We were sent an email with a link that said to click to get your ticket, which I did and added to Apple wallet but when got there the man on the gate said that wasn’t a ticket and we couldn’t get in with that. There’s very little / no WiFi signal so had to try and search for an askos rep (no sign of one) whilst trying to get some WiFi. After 30 mins managed to get signal and find a ticket at the very bottom of an email in junk. But the bar code ticket they say is your ticket isn’t the one. So beware!
Life changing volcano hike
The best thing to see in Naples and that’s saying a lot!!! What an experience! Some uphill hiking required but well worth it!!! If you can do this hike and the Pompeii ruins your visit to Naples will be unforgettable!
Great tour but lousy tour operator
The trek up the hill to the crater is more strenuous than I was expecting due to the description, but it was fine if you are in decent shape The crater is incredibly impressive and the audio guide was helpful I booked this excursion 10 months ago for a 10 AM entry time and 2 days before our excursion , the tour company advised me that the time was not available and that I would need to come at 2 PM instead They would refund me the money if it didn’t work out I was not happy at all about this and had to switch my itinerary last minute to be able to get there at 2 pm Very poor customer service
