Superb visit. The Herculum site is very different from Pompeii. Much smaller, but you can get inside almost any house. Taking the audioguide is a real plus, I recommend it. We spent just under 3 hours seeing all the houses.Guido

Very well preserved buildings and streets. The audio guide takes you back to Roman times. The skeletons at the bottom of the excavation are impressive.

Great place to visit with very good explanation of all the places. A lot of history is to see. And they are still working to renovate and maintain. The catering was very poor. No restaurant. That coud be better.Guillermo

The ruins themselves are very good. The audio guide is terrible, it does not match the description of what you hear with what you see, clearly the audio and the numbers of the references to see are poorly correlated. It also uses many specific architectural words that we who are not specialists do not understand.

Really enjoyed it all - much quieter than pompeii and more easy to see in our opinion. Great views from the ticket office area. Very easy ticketing experience online. Helpful staff at the venue. No queues on the day when we went so cannot comment on the skip the queue experience. Not absolutely clear direction where to get the paper tickets from or if this would have been possible with queues. Snack site was good views and comfortable seating though maybe a cafe would be nice? Audio was a bit confusing at times as not sure which entrance we were using sometimes. Shame that we couldn't see some rooms as they were roped off (due to off-season - lack of staff to man the buildings?) - but still a very good experience.
