Esperienza davvero memorabile. Il biglietto combo per Pompei ed Ercolano permette di vivere in una sola giornata due siti archeologici unici, ma con atmosfere diverse. Ercolano mi ha colpito moltissimo per lo stato di conservazione delle case, degli affreschi, dei mosaici e degli ambienti interni: camminare tra quelle stanze dà davvero la sensazione di entrare nella vita quotidiana dell’antica città. La vista con il Vesuvio sullo sfondo rende tutto ancora più suggestivo. Pompei è più grande e scenografica, mentre Ercolano è più raccolta, intensa e sorprendente nei dettagli. Consiglio di iniziare presto, portare acqua e prendersi il tempo necessario per osservare bene ogni angolo. Un’esperienza culturale bellissima, emozionante e assolutamente consigliata.

Both Sites are excellent sights. Well worth the visit and the ease of using this site was excellent. Downside local transport transfers are very expensive especially if the trains are not running. Herculeum very limited transport options unless you want to pay top dollar.

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!

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.

I liked getting tickets in advance but it was utterly not nesassary as the ticket lines were short at the venue. It gave us a peace of mind for quite an elevated price. With the audio guide we paid $64 for two tickets that really cost $40.00 The guide was useless. The points were not many and the descriptions were super-short. We ended up going back and purchasing audio guides from the venue. More languages and much more interesting and extensive recordings So it is my first time either Headout and might be the last as well...

Pompeii isn’t a place you just visit—it’s one you piece together. This experience lets you do it your way, with just the right level of support.

Getting started

Start in Naples if you’ve chosen transfers—hop on a Circumvesuviana train for flexibility or a shuttle for a more direct ride. Once you arrive, head straight in with skip-the-line entry and begin exploring without delays.

Pompeii Plus sites: Access suburban villas such as the Villa of the Mysteries and explore the Antiquarium museum, with shuttle service connecting locations.

Audio guide: Learn at your own pace with multilingual commentary that adds context to the ruins (as per option selected).

Guided tour (optional): Upgrade for an expert-led experience that uncovers deeper historical insights and hidden details.
