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.

Kind and very knowledgeable guide. They showed us around the most famous sights, explaining them in a fascinating way from both a historical and technical perspective. The visit to the thermal baths was especially interesting; I had no idea there were lockers to store your clothes, just like in modern swimming pools. The water heating system was also very intriguing, as was the architectural design used to prevent condensation and dripping water. Visiting the House of the Vettii, definitely the most famous home in Pompeii, was also great; I already knew about it, but had never seen it in person. At the end of the tour, the guide gave us several tips on other noteworthy things to see, such as the theater district and the amphitheater. Thank you!

From purchasing the tickets to picking them up, everything went smoothly. Pompeii: how can you even describe it? Big—no, massive, impressive, and harrowing considering the fates of those who lived there! You have to see it for yourself and take the time to really let it sink in. Still, I would like to mention one drawback. We were recommended a shuttle in connection with the villa district; the young woman even marked the area on the map. But that area is visited on foot, which made us a bit suspicious. Back at our parking spot, we looked into it and discovered that the shuttle was actually going to Villa Regina, located outside the site in Boscoreale. That was completely useless as it was never communicated to us, what a shame!

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.

You get good info from Head out, but in the beginning it was quite a search to find where we could go with our tickets. We couldn't enter the site straight from the train together with the other visitors; we still had to walk 1.5 km to a kind of tourist office to get our final tickets there (we had already queued up in the regular line with our Head out tickets first). Rather than the audio guide, it's better to buy a paper guide right there in this shop that creates a route based on the time you have; it costs 10 € and is available in Dutch. Because the audio guide doesn't guide you around; when you reach a specific number, you have to look it up and listen (Dutch is not available). We took the 2-hour route ourselves; if you do that, you'll miss the famous bodies you expect to see, so check the map first to see where you can see them and add that to your route. All in all, a positive experience, though a bit of a search at first (but it is actually indicated in your booking info).

The app was informative and gave great context, however it did not recognize where we were and tried to automatically play the same audio at several locations. It became more fussy than beneficial so we stopped using it part way through our journey. Pompeii was absolutely incredible, and the preservation of the city was amazing.

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!
