We went to the ticket office near hotel Vittoria, we were given our tickets and also access to the audio guide. As a group we were then shown to a nearby bus. We drove about 40 mins and were dropped off at the cone, told to meet the driver in 2 hours. The climb is hard but worth it. There were huts on the way selling drinks and ice creams. The views were spectacular. The driver was right on time and we were dropped off at hotel vittoria. Dont worry about taking my a jumper for the top, the cooler air is a welcome after the walk up. Make sure you wear good shoes, trainers will do. The ground is loose and on the way down can be quite hard to keep your footing.
Instazione was great. Everything was straightforward and the bus driver and Instazione workers were very friendly. MT Vesuvius gran cono was very cool and they give you enough time to go up and down plus do a little shopping. Just make sure your back at the bus at the time they say! Our bus driver did his best and waited an extra 10 minutes but there were some people who were not back to the bus. Pick up and drop off from hotel Vittoria was uncomplicated. 10/10 recommend for doing Pompeii in the morning and exiting through the Piazza Esedra gate and then taking this tour in the afternoon.
We really enjoyed this trip. It was well organised, left on time and the driver was great. We got 2 hours to walk to the crater and back which was plenty of time. We even had time for a quick beer at the top! The walk itself is self guided but there is an app which gives you points of interest along the way. Just make sure you scan for the free WiFi before you go through the gates! The path up to the top is steep but good and wide. Wear sensible shoes and an extra layer to what youve been wearing at sea level as it can get a bit chilly.
Trip itself was good and the hike was well worth the effort amazing views. Only down bit was a rude driver who left without a couple of passengers
I would definitely do this again! The mini shuttle bus was nice, but the rows were too close to each other & people >6ft tall may find it uncomfortable. Grateful that I was able to book it same-day, but would definitely encourage booking further in advance because there was nothing else available. Would suggest taking Dramamine in advance for those who get car sick. Would suggest bringing a long sleeve shirt or jacket; there's more wind and cooler temps at elevation.
