Quick access with the skip-the-line ticket. You still have to take the audio guide to have the explanations as you progress through the site. Sabs it difficult to understand what we see and especially to progress in the sites. For that add twenty euros for 3 audio guides for example. We spent 3 hours and we didn't see everything...the site is huge.

We were glad to book this tour, as the official website of Vesuvius showed no tickets available any more on our wished date. We double checked with GetYourGuide customer service and were told this tour had tickets included. Thanks so much that we were able to visit Vesuvius before we left Napoli and the guide was very professional and everything well organized. Highly recommended.

With Francesco we had a great guide who turned the trip into an event. Punctual departure, very understandable English, all the time on the road with the group, told many interesting facts and anecdotes and organized a free tour with a ranger upstairs (about 20 minutes). We are very satisfied and happy to have taken this excursion and to have Francesco as our guide!
