Booking was easy. Even though we had to go 20 minutes to the entrance, it was hard considering that we had little time to be inside. And the tickets nobody told us where they were and we had to walk around a lot to find the place where they were printed. It would have been easier to enter through the upstairs door and show the tickets online. Also we had to wait in the store 20 min more for them to print them. But the experience inside was fine. Too big for just a few hours. But I will come back someday

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience using Headout. Due to a public transport strike that completely disrupted the train network, I was unable to attend the event I had booked. This situation was entirely out of my control, yet Headout offered no assistance or refund, leaving me out of a significant amount of money. It's incredibly frustrating to lose that much with no flexibility or understanding shown. Based on this experience, I can’t trust or use this service again.

A must visit if you visit Napels and are interesting in the history of Pompeii. Just buy the entry ticket upfront and skip the line and save a lot of time. Buy a regular trainticket in Napels for just under €4,- and a train ride of 30min brings you to Pompeii Pompeii is very interesting. Most interesting are the amfitheater , Palestra Grande, Big Theater, Forum, Villa's, the smaller houses and the main street. Another must visit is the Mount Vevusius

    We arrived at Pompeii on a Monday around 12pm and found it to be quite busy. Our pre-purchased tickets required us to check in at the tourist center which was unexpected and a bit confusing to find and set us back an hour from scheduled ticket time. With the help of a local ristorante owner we eventually found the location where we were bombarded with sales people who tried to sell us maps as well as a listening tour guide device, which needed to be returned before the park closed, or a QR code to listen on our own phones which did not cover much of the sites. I would recommend getting there as soon as the park opens to avoid an onslaught of guided tour buses. Also, which entry gate your ticket is for, plan ahead on where to park if you are driving there. Arrive and at least half an hour before your scheduled ticket time unless you already know where to go to get your tickets printed for entry. There are three entrances to the park and you really need to know which one your ticket is for. As for Hurculaneum, I found this to be a more intimate and relaxed experience. It is a far better preserved site with more mosaics and frescoes, far fewer people and felt far less hurried. All in all an experience not to be missed. In both Pompeii and Herculaneum we were approached by private tour guides inside the park for an added cost but chose not use them. Viewing the human remains in both parks felt invasive on a very personal level and I chose not photograph them out of respect.

    A beautiful day in Pompeii. Thanks to the ticket, we didn't have to wait and got in easily. However, the audio guide offered by the agency was a big disappointment. 10 euros (we took 2 for 4) for the phone or physical version, but : - for the physical version, you have to bring it back to the store before 5:30 p.m. (inconvenient as they're not near the circumvesuviana station) - for the phone version: impossible to use because there's no mobile network on the Pompei site. The best thing would have been to offer wifi in the agency and a system for downloading audio tapes, given the mediocrity of the network coverage! And 2 additional points: - I wanted to listen to the audio guide when I got back on the train at the end of the day: impossible, as the codes I was given had been deactivated after 7pm. - as we were leaving, we realized that physical audioguides were available on site for 9 euros, which could be returned at the exit until closing time. So we were delighted with our day in Pompeii, but we had a bitter taste for the audioguide story, which made us feel we'd been cheated out of 20 euros...

    We didn't like the fact that people urinated in many corners, once even worse. But we weren't surprised when we had to search for a toilet for almost twenty minutes because they were very poorly signposted and then the street and therefore the one toilet was closed. We didn't like the fact that the street names didn't appear on the map or only appeared to a limited extent, which in turn made it difficult to find our way around. We didn't like the fact that the closed entrances/sights were not marked on the map, which exacerbated all the problems mentioned above. It was very confusing overall.

  • Discover two ancient neighboring cities preserved under Vesuvius' ash with a single budget-friendly booking. Save both time and money while you explore Pompeii and Herculaneum in the order you desire.

    Getting started

    Gain access to Herculaneum and Pompeii with your pre-booking and ID card in hand, access the vast archaeological parks, and roam through the excavations freely. Decide when you enter which site.

    What to expect

    Pompeii

    Its famous Villa of the Mysteries has stunning frescoes with a complex diversity of back stories! The space was essentially a grand farmhouse with its own grape press. In 1909, a fresco that stretches over 17 metres long was discovered in one of its rooms. House of the Faun is named after the small statue in front of it. In the atrium, there is a mosaic to be found containing the word ‘welcome’. Another famous mosaic was also in this house - depicting the fight between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia in the Battle of Issus in 333BC. Many of the sculptures found in the house are now stored at the National Archaeological Museum for preservation.

    Herculaneum

    Formerly Ercolano, this fishing colony just 15 kilometers away from Pompeii met an interconnected end. Uncover the secrets of the verdant House of the Deer with its animal mosaics, and marvel at the opulent Villa of the Papyri. Immerse yourself in the daily life of ordinary citizens as you walk along the ancient main street Decumanus Maximus, lined with shops and houses. Right opposite the richly designed House of Neptune and Amphitrite, you will find the female entrance to the Stabian public baths. And don’t forget to visit the supposed ancient cult temple rumored to be run by imperially-sanctioned freedmen – College of Augustales.
