We were mislead by our cruise company , the excursion Pompeii on your own was anly a bus ride. This mean we had to get tickets on arrival. We booked them online whilst at the site, the purchase was straightfoward and the instructions clear. When we were not sure where to go, this was explained through text message and picking up the tickets was easy. The advice given regarding where to enter was super saving us lots of time waiting unnecessarily. What was potential disaster was avoided and time in the site was maximised.

You really have to see Pompeii if you are in the area; its scale is incomprehensible. In my fantasy, I had expected more of those petrified people, but the times they were on display, it was very impressive. The only thing I found very disappointing is that we only found out once we were in the park that the villa costs extra to visit.

Pompeii is a must-see if you are near this area. Its ruins are in a state of preservation that everyone in the world should see at least once in their lifetime. This is the second time I've been there, and I would go back again. It's a place suitable for all ages. Getting tickets is very easy.

It was a fantastic experience, especially thanks to Costa—a guy who managed to share his enthusiasm and knowledge with us. But above all, without him, we wouldn’t have been able to spot some of the hidden gems. If you decide to visit the ruins, feel free to put your trust in them—you won’t regret it.

Everything was perfect, except that with this type of Pompeii ticket purchase, you are forced to go to the ticket office, and therefore wait in line! Instead of going straight through the turnstiles with a scan without waiting in line.

I visited the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, and I have to say it was an indescribable experience. I didn’t expect such a vast and well-preserved city; it really feels like stepping back in time 2,000 years. Walking through the original streets, entering the houses, the baths, and the Forum is something that leaves you speechless. You can sense the daily life of the Romans in every detail, from the frescoes and mosaics to the inscriptions on the walls. The site is enormous, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and setting aside at least 4–5 hours. I found everything very well organized, with clear maps and extremely kind and helpful staff. The most moving moment was seeing the casts of the victims and the Amphitheater. It’s an experience I recommend to everyone—Italians and foreigners alike—at least once in a lifetime. A heritage site unlike any other in the world. I’ll definitely be back to see the newly reopened domus!

We were able to enter the site quickly without having to wait in line, even though we arrived half an hour early. The site is very large, and we walked around for 5 hours. In some places, we had breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius, and we were able to admire the beautiful frescoes still visible on some of the walls. The museum is also interesting because it displays artifacts and statues discovered on the site. We saved it for last; it isn’t very big, and you can see it all in half an hour.

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.
