I went to Mt. Vesuvius,...

Fiona_B, Oct 2025

I went to Mt. Vesuvius, our driver Ivan was SO lovely :) however there was a big issue with tickets at mt. Vesuvius… I understood I had to get mine but the 2 people in my group had no ticket even though it was in their price? It made me nervous to travel with Viator company again. Ivan was lovely and tried to help us!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Fiona, thank you for your review. We’re truly sorry for the issue with the Vesuvius tickets and understand your frustration. Ivan informed us about the situation, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact us directly — we’ll be happy to review the case and find a fair solution. We’re also glad to hear you appreciated Ivan’s kindness and professionalism. Staff Napoli City Vision

Better to arrange yourself

David_G, Oct 2025

A not very good experience. We got more useful info from the taxi driver, before he picked the "guide" up. Itinerary was reversed, so lunch was postponed until after climbing Vesuvius rather than on the way as advertised. This messed up our evening as lunch wasn't finished until 1530. We expected an English speaking guide on Vesuvius, but he left us at the entrance, so we had no guide. We had to buy tickets in advance ourselves, which we booked for the time slot according to Viator. This turned out to be too late, so we had yo wait 20 minutes at entrance, which cost us 20 minutes at the top. The taxi driver and the pizza were great, but everything else was a shambles. Better to go to Ercanolo Scavi on the train for 5 euros and pick up one of the shuttle busses!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear David, We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide smooth and enjoyable tours, and it’s disappointing to learn that there were several issues with the itinerary and the guiding service. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly look into how we can improve these aspects for future guests. We also regret any inconvenience caused by the timing of the lunch and the delays at the summit. We appreciate you highlighting the positives, like the taxi driver and the pizza, and we will work to ensure that future tours are more organized and aligned with what is advertised. We hope you'll consider visiting us again and giving us the chance to provide you with a better experience. Kind regards, Staff Napoli City Vision

Aldo and the volcano.

Steven_D, Sep 2025

Aldo has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Naples that he freely shared. Hearing him talk about it as an understandably proud Neapolitan made the experience that much more enjoyable. He included a lot of extra sights and insights. Note, if he offers an umbrella, take it!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed Aldo’s deep knowledge and passion for Naples—it’s what makes our tours special. His extra sights and insights truly bring the city to life. And yes, his umbrella tip is legendary! We’re proud to have Aldo on our team and delighted your experience was so memorable.

This tour was a great way...

Brian_K, Jul 2025

This tour was a great way to spend a few hours while in Naples. Pickup from my hotel was on time and guide provided great narration and overview of the day while enroute to meet the rest of my group and start the tour. I then met our guide Christian and he explained in detail the timing and itinerary for the day. The included pizza lunch was yum, and the view over Naples from the restaurant was stunning. Our group then continued the drive up the mountain with great narration along the way. Our guide double checked with each of us that we had the correct tickets to enter the park so we’d be able to breeze in. Christian explained how the hike would be and assured us it was manageable as the whole trail is clearly marked. Turns out he was right and while it’s a little steep in the beginning once you reach the top the views are incredible. Once our hike was finished it was a quick drive back to the city and dropped me back at the hotel. Loved that Christian offered suggestions for restaurants and other sites to see with my days in Naples.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day with us in Naples and that everything — from the hotel pickup to the final drop-off — went smoothly. Christian will be so pleased to know his narration, itinerary guidance, and hiking tips helped make your experience both enjoyable and stress-free. We’re glad you loved the pizza lunch and the stunning views from the restaurant, as well as the unforgettable scenery from the top of the trail. It’s always our goal to make our guests feel cared for from start to finish, and we’re happy Christian’s suggestions added extra value to your time in Naples. We hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures with Napoli City Vision! Warm regards, The Napoli City Vision Team

Great experience! Our...

LDawn_M, Jul 2025

Great experience! Our guide Martina and driver Adamus were friendly, knowledgeable and worked hard to make this a memorable experience. A few things that one should consider: 1. Make sure you buy your tickets to climb the volcano within the park—well in advance( they are available the first part of each month). We did not do this and had to scramble to get tickets and had to pay more to secure them. 2. The climb to the crater is challenging, so be prepared and bring water, sunscreen and good walking shoes/sneakers. The views from the top are breathtaking!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Martina and Adamus made your experience both enjoyable and memorable — they will be so pleased to know their efforts were appreciated. We also truly value the helpful tips you’ve shared for future visitors. Planning ahead for tickets and preparing for the climb are excellent points, and we’re sure your advice will help many others make the most of their visit. It’s great to know you enjoyed the spectacular views from the crater — they are indeed unforgettable! We hope to welcome you back to Naples for more adventures with Napoli City Vision in the future. Warm regards, The Napoli City Vision Team
