Mount Vesuvius Hiking Trip from Pompeii

Explore Italy's most iconic volcano on this unforgettable hiking tour of Mount Vesuvius from Pompeii. You'll set off from the historic city, emblem of the Roman Empire, to discover the natural wonders of this must-see destination.

You will travel in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus from the base of the mountain and uphill. After a stretch upwards, near the top, you'll alight to embark on a walking tour of the mountain's slopes.

You will walk through the geological formations resulting from its eruptions, the most recent being in 1944 and the most representative in 79 AD, when the event wiped out modern metropolises of the Roman Empire, such as Pompeii and Herculaneum.

During your excursion, you will be able to feel the essence of sulphur and see archaeological gems that have left their mark over the centuries, in different eras of mankind.

You will have free time to go at your own pace, following the trails that lead to the Great Cone, the summit of Vesuvius that you will access on this experience, where the volcanic crater is located at an altitude of 1281 metres.

Upon arrival you will get one of the most spectacular and breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples, overlooking the island of Capri and the Sorrento peninsula.

Once at the Gran Cono, you will be accompanied by a volcanological guide, who will tell you about the grandiose history of the volcano and how it has been an enclave in the culture of Naples, becoming one of its most representative symbols.
