Mount Vesuvius Skip The Line Ticket + Multilingual Audio Guide

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. 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 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!

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!

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

So worth the climb! Been wanting to go up Vesuvius for ages. You get to look inside the crater. Loved it

Perfect for individual tourists, but download your ticket before going up, because there is no connection on the mountain.

Having tickets to get thru entrance was great. Make sure you have a sceen shot of tickets as there is no service there. These tickets DO NOT cover parking or ride to trailhead.

Oh my gosh, how amazing this was. Vincenzo De Gennaro was our guide and he was soooo amazing. He was so informative and really bought us into the world of the Pompei people on the day of Mt Vesuvius eruption on 24 October 79AD. He was an excervationist on Pompei himself and his insight to all artifacts was purely amazing. He presented the information in such a engaging and fascinating way that it was engaging for the whole family.

We received the tickets the day before as promised. Follow their instructions on your tickets and you won’t have any problems. Very easy! Highly recommend.

When we arrived at the Vesuvius gate or entrance, it was closed earlier because of snowing (safety reason). So we had no access to went in. Just for the information that this mountain gate access can be closed anytime for safety reason. So you will loose you ticket money to enter when it happen.

This is nearly double the actual ticket price! On top of this we had to pay €18 for our van and, unless you walk up & back, it’s another €3 each for the shuttle bus.

Just make sure you buy before the bus climbs the hill because no service many places up there. And filled in extra for min 100 characters :-)

We drove up the access road to Mount Vesuvius, paid $6 to park and another $3 per person to ride a minivan up the remaining section of the road to the entrance of the park. Park. We had downloaded our tickets in advance because the cell service up there is terrible and proceeded to enter the park at the time listed on our tickets. Everything was smooth. The hike was a bit strenuous but not very long and the view at the top is amazing. My advice is to plan an extra half an hour to 45 minutes. If you're driving, there's a waiting line for everything.

Great to see crater of visuvius, on a clear dud the views are spectacular. Climb to top not to difficult

Unfortunately it rained so we were unable to see the views 😢 Travel up to the ticket office was good.

Vesuvius was pretty epic. Entry was easy with the tickets purchased. "Skip the line" isn't really skip the line - we just went in the regular queue. Tickets were sold out for the date/time we wanted on the Vesuvius website, so having these available was great - the pitfall is that they cost double what the regular entrance fee to Vesuvius is. These are entry tickets only and do not include a tour guide (which is what we wanted).

Vesuvius is awesome. But… tickets costs 12 € I paid 23 € because it says skip the line. There is no skip the line option at Vesuvio Mount. Basically it’s a cheating. Don’t pay more if you expect to skip the line.

The most memorable part of hiking up mount vesuvius was the incredible views of the surrounding area. We had some difficulty getting our tickets so i would highly recommend that they be downloaded to your phone before getting to the entrance gate. Fortunately a police officer helped us to contact viator via the phone and they sent the tickets immediately!!

No tickets sent no information and no help,will never use this company ever again dreadful customer service

Missed due to bad weather (not being allowed in). Arrived later than allocated time as we had 100 mins allowed after allocated time. Unfortunately, we did not know we would be stopped going up for 45 minutes due to rain, therefore our tickets were expired. I wish this was communicated in description.

My friend and I were planning to visit Mount Vesuvius before going to Pompeii. We had some unexpected difficulty procuring our rental car in Naples. Unfortunately, these passes were considered expired and we were unable to cross the checkpoint. One of the guards cleared me, but another guard would not clear my friend. These tickets ended up being a complete waste of time and money. If you're uncertain of the exact time when you will be at Vesuvius, I would recommend just getting a ticket there. We went during the height of tourist season in August and the line was only 10 people long.

Amazing tour of Vesuvius with Mario. Such a nice guy and really knowledgeable. The driver was also really polite and drove very carefully. Family of 4, we had such a great time. This was such a stress free and enjoyable way of visiting one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. Thank you again.

Quite a long walk up, 3 hours there & back. Very slippery & uneven under foot, good walking shoes required. We caught the shuttle bus from the car park up to the start point. €6 parking, €3 pp return shuttle, otherwise the walk from the car park takes approx 30mins.

This ticket does what it says - it enables you to skip the line to climb the final ascent of Mount Vesuvius. The instructions are quite comprehensive, but could benefit from including some information about the parking lot and shuttle vs. walking options to enable guests to arrive at the entrance point on time.

Absolutely fantastic, the views were stunning, and the information we received from our guide Mario was very good. Good walking shoes and water are recommended. Although there is a stop to get refreshments if required. Can't recommend this company enough

We just walked right in as there was no line when we got there. Just scanned our passes and followed the path. Very simple and straightforward. There was confusion all over the internet about parking, but it’s a non-issue. Just put Vesuvius in Google maps and most of the way up the mountain there is a big parking “P” and a shuttle to take you the rest of the way. Or, you can walk the 15 minutes on your own, just be careful of the crazy buses.

Vesuvius was just grand! We couldn’t climb the up hill trails, too steep! But we have some photos and it was a life long memory

Our guide Mario was very knowledgeable and personable. He fed us lots of information about Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields in the minibus on the way to Vesuvius and on the return journey. He seemed interested in us as a group and even answered questions from a passing child up at the crater. He didn't hurry us along or stick rigidly to a timetable. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

We loved our visit. It was impressive! The view was breathtaking. Our guide Mario, was very interesting and knew his subject.

De trip naar de Vesuvius was nogal heftig met de bus. De Vesuvius is zeker de moeite om te bezoeken.

Great trip led by Mario our Guide. He tells you all about Mount Vesuvius, past and present volcano. But he also knows a lot about the other volcanoes around Naples. Nice trip, not too heavy and really worth it

Very good information and a perfectly planned tour of Vesuvius. Many thanks also to the driver, whose name we unfortunately cannot mention.

Our guide Mario was friendly and showed us around Vesuvius and its surroundings in a very pleasant and educational way.
