A visit to the Pompeii archaeological park is a deeply involving experience. Walking on the streets of the ancient city, being aware of all those people that walked the same streets two thousand years before, when the tragedy happened, evokes special feelings.

A truly memorable experience. The combo ticket for Pompeii and Herculaneum lets you explore two unique archaeological sites—each with its own distinct atmosphere—in a single day. Herculaneum really impressed me with the state of preservation of the houses, frescoes, mosaics, and interiors: walking through those rooms truly gives you the feeling of stepping into the daily life of the ancient city. The view with Mount Vesuvius in the background makes it all even more evocative. Pompeii is larger and more spectacular, while Herculaneum is more intimate, intense, and surprising in its details. I recommend starting early, bringing water, and taking the time to explore every corner thoroughly. A beautiful, exciting cultural experience that I highly recommend.

Off to Pompeii! The entrance was clearly marked from the station. You don’t have to look for it. First, you need to stop by the tourist office with your admission ticket. You’ll find it across the street. They’ll print out your admission tickets, and with those, you can head to Pompeii. There are water fountains in Pompeii, but no places to eat or drink! So you’ll need to bring your own food and drinks. There are cafes and restaurants outside the gate. I didn’t find any restrooms either. Pretty strange, actually.

The experience was great; it was very easy to find the meeting point, where the staff spoke fluent Italian, Spanish, English, and probably other languages as well. They offered a wide selection of guides, books, and maps—the service was excellent. Getting into Pompeii was super easy—no lines or waiting. The app’s audio guide is very good and simple to use. Thank you very much

Deffo worth the extra bit of money having the tour guide, he was amazing even though he probably does it all day he was passionate about the subject and had infinite knowledge, I didn't know any of it but I won't forget because of the way he described the information. Thank you

It was a unique and unforgettable experience. We won’t hesitate to return, as there are still many places steeped in history that we don’t want to miss. The best part, without a doubt, was the friendly service from the staff, who helped us immerse ourselves in the world of Pompeii.

    Pompeii is of course an incredible experience. I definitely think it is worth while using the free audioguide (we didn't) and so I don't think we got the full experience. The only issue we had was finding the office to convert our QR code to tickets as the one closest to the entrance was closed, but we found it without too much difficulty and went on to have a very interesting visit!

    After finding the office in Pompeii to pick up the paper tickets, everything went smoothly, and everything was ready at the appointed time. However, in Herculaneum, there’s no need to go to Corso Resina 187 (a street number that doesn’t exist); you just need to go to the ticket office entrance. And everything went smoothly there.

    Our entry was not as smooth as expected. The bus dropped us at one entry point but we needed to walk for 20 minutes , validate our 'skip the queue" tickets, there was no queue. Walking around Pompeii is an unmissable experience. We guided ourselves with help of a map and guide book.
