We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

We have been up a few volcanoes but none quite as dramatic as Mount Vesuvius , you do need some comfortable and robust footwear as the pathway to the caldera is as you can imagine loose volcanic rock and powder but after about 20/30 mins walk you do reach the top and it is stunning ! Not only looking into the caldera but the views over Naples , Sorrento peninsula and the Island of Capri. During our visit Vesuvius was smoking although we were told this does not usually happen.... so you are stood there and 40km below is the magma... makes you think right ? There are several gift shops / cafes on the way up / down so you can grab a drink etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit but a note of caution , initially we were going to go by ourselves but decided to book a guided tour inc Pompeii and are glad we did as you now have to pre book entry tickets online ( we thought you could pay on entry ) and trust there is no phone signal up there... so many people trying to buy online without success and also visitor numbers are restricted so if you plan to visit then arrange a few days in advance. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending a visit to Mt Vesuvius

We were told by many people that you had to buy tickets online before going to Vesuvio, so we made sure we did this. On arrival we were then told that the reference number for the tickets was not enough so we could not enter. I should have received an email with a QR code which never arrived. We refreshed my email inbox and spam many times before trying to see if we could speak to someone about what we can do. The staff were very rude and said that there was nothing they could do. GIven this we are now having to try to get our money back which was taken even though we did not receive a QR code via email. So disappointing. Plus the whole nature reserve feels like it is being treated like a rubbish dump for Naples. You'd think this would be a place to be proud of with the history.
