Hi all beautiful, we jumped the line with your tickets. Only thing is there is no sign indicating where you have to go to skip the line. Contact the front desk office they will let you go straight through. Thank you

Online booking meant getting straight in to a remarkable site. The scale of it was only really appreciated by walking through and up and up to the most stunning views and perspectives of Napoli. Able to fully understand Spaccanapoli.

The map provides access to many sites, but the explanations of how to use them are not self-explanatory. Needs improvement.

Hello It was good but we'd have to find a way not to have to give your email address and code each time. And it would be better over 4 days, which corresponds to a complete visit of the city and its surroundings.

So, I bought it so that I would have less stress. Activation was good. When using it, I always needed internet to log in, every 5 minutes the system kicked me out. There was no connection in the subway. Museums were not all included, so I accidentally spent the 3 museum credits. Public transport was included, but I couldn't go straight into the subway, I had to report to an employee every time and he let me in (out of pity). The need for improvement is there
