Easy to book, safe on the App and able to be saved as a screenshot. Open ticket for the whole day chosen so no pressure to get to venue at a specific time. Did get directed by staff direct to the entrance. Not sure there was much of a Queue but convenient. Amazing experience actually visiting Herculaneum. Not to be missed when visiting area. Direct local stopping train from Garibaldi rail station in Naples. Very cheap return ticket and regular service. From station straight down the road to entrance bit of a hill on the way back up. Definitely recommend at least 3/4 hrs to visit.

I went to visit the excavations of Herculaneum during the Easter holidays, so very busy with tourists...having a skip-the-line ticket allowed me to save time and be able to enjoy this beautiful experience without the stress of the queue...
