From Naples: Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii Ruins Combo Day Trip

Eine halbe Stunde zu spät abgeholt am Treffpunkt, ohne uns einen Grund zu nennen und ohne sich bei uns zu melden. Ein riesen Durcheinander dann beim erneuten einsteigen beim Vesuv. Viel zu wenig Zeit in Pompeji mit einem Hörguide Gerät, dass eigentlich nichts spannendes erzählt. Manchmal sogar nur ein Satz. Dann wieder ein riesen Chaos beim einsteogen in Pompeji nach Neapel. Alles völlig unübersichtlich, gestresstes Personal und null Persönlichkeit. Nicht empfehlenswert wenn man einen entspannten Trip und ein wenig informativer Tag erleben möchtet.

The bus was difficult to find, we only made it because we happened to be standing in the right place at the right time. The bus was air conditioned and water was offered (was a very hot day) so that was a plus. Minimal information was given by the guide on the way up the volcano, maybe around 2-3 sentences about the lava flows. We were then dropped off, told not to be late, and that we had around an hour to hike up to the top. There was no mention of hiking in the listing, it was quite the climb on a hot day with minimal instructions, just steep gravelly switchbacks until you make it to the top. You can then pay for a guided tour for more information, on top of what you paid for what is basically a bus ride halfway there. We made our way back down and were early for our pick up time for Pompeii, but that didn’t matter as we were budged in line people who weren’t from our group and told to get the next bus. Watching the organization of the buses and groups was laughable.
