Pompeii was a great experience. The map was difficult to follow and we missed some exhibits that we were wanting to see. But overall what an incredible walk through history.

We 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.

Easy to book, nice place, worth to see. Pompeii offers a haunting, yet fascinating glimpse into ancient Roman life, frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Walking through its remarkably preserved streets, visitors can explore homes, temples, and vibrant frescoes that look almost untouched by centuries. The tragic plaster casts of the victims serve as a powerful, emotional reminder of the human toll. It is not just an archaeological site, but an extraordinary, unforgettable window into the past that bridges centuries.

Such 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 😔

The 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.

The app was easy to use, entry was fast, and all points of interest were marked with numbers and descriptions. It's a shame it rained, but it wasn't slippery at all. The barrier-free accessible route was very well done. A great experience with still a lot left to see, hoping to return soon. Kudos to all the staff!

The experience with Headout was incredible: with tickets in hand, we had instant access to the park, not to mention the digital guide with accurate information about each spot in several languages. There were 4 of us and we all left very happy with our experience in Pompeii. Greetings from Spain.

I 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.

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.
