The monument is fabulous, albeit very tricky to climb all the steps, even if you don't have mobility issues! But the view from the top was breathtaking and totally worth it. The ticket was great as it covers everything, including the midfield inside, which was a fantastic collection of military history and worth seeing too if you have the time.

Great day exploring two very unique UNESCO historical archealogical sites as part of our honeymoon in Italy! We started at the Herculaneum first thing in the morning and were among the first visitors for the day. This was awesome as we avoided lots of crowds and school groups as we explored the ruins and followed our own self guided tour. The preservation of the artefacts was phenomenal and we were able to see active digging/restoration as we explored.
We then went to Pompeii in the afternoon and again enjoyed a walk through history following a self-guided audio tour through the ancient city. We weren't able to skip-the-line at Pompeii as advertised by the booking and had to join the general queue to get out tickets from the voucher.
We drove to both sites and parking was easily found - even in the afternoon when it was quite busy at Pompeii.

The ticket collection can be confusing but ones you are in the correct line all went well. The site itself was amazing which we spent 6hrs taking in.

No delay at the entrance with our prebooked ticket. Castel Sant' Angelo is not as glamorous as many of the other big tourist attractions but it has a fascinating history. The visit took in a museum with several models and paintings of how the site looked in different periods. There are great panoramic views of Rome from the higher levels.

This was a great tour. Didn't get chance to see it last time we visited Rome so was top of my list this time. The download guide was useful but we found it hard to know where to go at times as there were different numbers about for different tours but we managed to make our own way round. Low point was the cafe/bar. We wanted a drink... waited but no one came to us so we went inside and she told us to go outside and wait for the waiter. We gave up in the end which made us leave earlier than we wanted to find somewhere to have a drink. So advice is 'take water!'

Our experience was very good. We had purchased Skip the Line tickets. We didn’t have any trouble with waiting times at all. It’s definitely worth getting Skip the Line tickets.

Even though there were some issues with receiving the tickets I felt like I was being looked after and my anxiousness was not ignored.
And the Pantheon was amazing!!!

There was no line. We got in right away, the only thing there should be small machines that bring back elderly people who get too tired and free access to the elevator. At the end of the 4-hour visit there is no steep stairs, and I am told by the bar operators that the elevator could not be used.
