An amazing experience. Rich in history and content from the get-go. The ruins are so well preserved and access is very open allowing such a great insight into life back in Pompeii 2000 years ago. At times you can almost imagine youself walking through the town in its prime. I recommend giving at least 2 hours to walk around the ruins, and at least 4 for those who enjoy learning about hsptry and taking in the detail. Parking was easy, plenty of food / service areas and despite the large crowd, we rarely felt held up by the amount of people, due to the amount of content and size of the town. I will return.

Pompeii was great - my teenager loved seeing such an amazing world-renowned attraction. The plaster casts at the GARDEN OF THE FUGITIVES were the best. We managed fine without a tour guide, but obviously didnt learn any interesting facts along the way. Picking up the tickets was a little frustrating - The HEADOUT kiosk wasnt very obvious, and the pin from the map address wasnt correct so we were bumped from point to point around the plaza, but all within the same general location (50m) so we got there in the end - it just took a little time.

It is heavily impressive what this whole excavation site made accessible to us again, all these huge amounts of soil and lava ashes which had to get removed to find paintings, mosaics in housings, temples, public thermal pools and arenas. Such a rich and much modern culture compared to the dark middle age. Wish I would have seen this life once live. It puts imagination to next level!

    My visit to Pompeii was genuinely impressive. The site is extensive and well-preserved, making it easy to see how the ancient city was structured. Walking through the streets and spotting original mosaics, frescoes, and buildings gave me a real sense of discovering something remarkable. The organization of the site is also a big plus. Entry is efficient, the paths are clearly marked, and maps and information boards make navigating such a large area straightforward. Staff members are approachable and ready to help, which makes the experience even smoother. Overall, Pompeii is a well-managed archaeological site that offers a fascinating and energizing look into ancient urban life. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history or simply looking for an exciting and memorable place to visit.

    I loved how well-preserved the ancient city is and how easy it was to imagine daily life in Roman times. The weather was beautiful, which made the experience even better, and it wasn’t too crowded, so I could really take my time exploring and enjoying everything. Pompeii is incredibly rich in history, beautifully maintained, and offers an exciting experience.

    Pompeii unique in the world wonderful.!!! We were lucky both because of the gorgeous, warm weather and because there were no crowds and we were able to quietly enjoy the site visit. The only drawback was that the audio guide was not complete. It lacked explanations of some of the "houses" on the route. Amalia
