Eva – Slovenia
Sept 2026
3.0
The instructions were clear. We were asked to arrive 20 minutes early at the pick-up point, although we then spent about 20 minutes waiting on the others :). The schedule is quite tight, as expected, so we had to move quickly to reach the crater and make it back in time. In fact, we were the only ones who made it all the way to the top and around for as far as it goes, as the climb is fairly steep and can be challenging, especially for older visitors. One thing to note: if you visit Vesuvius at the end of September, don't expect a true sunset tour, as the sun is still quite high. However, it was definitely golden hour, and the light was beautiful.
