GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5I liked how the audio guide included in the ticket showed me where I was on the map and all the different spots that I could choose to listen to.SStanislav O
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5We arrived a full hour ahead of our scheduled time, but entered without any issues. First, we exchanged our electronic voucher for paper tickets (in the square by the lower entrance at the information center) and picked up a map of the archaeological park. Be prepared for a huge site where you will spend several hours, so it is best to book tickets for the morning. The paths are paved with large stones, so choose comfortable shoes. Inside the park, there are drinking water fountains, designated picnic areas, and restrooms. If you go in the summer, definitely bring a hat since there is very little shade on the grounds.SSylvia O
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Such an easy site ti obtain tickets to Pompeii. Spent the whole afternoon walking around. What a fantastic place to visit albeit so many suffered! You need trainers to walk over the many cobbled & boulderd areas. Didn't think a guide was too necessary, everything was explanatory & easy to navigate. Make sure you view Mount Vesuvius at the top through the cafe. Very emotional & very educational. It's just sad so many suffered in a horrific way imaginable 😔DDerek S
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5The whole experience was amazing. The entry into the site was smooth and the staff were both friendly and efficient. While walking around Pompeii we were shocked by the size of the excavation and how similar our lives were to the people who lived there all those years ago. The audio information was both interesting and easy to navigate. All in all a brilliant experience. Thank you.
