I was impressed with everything, although I have seen many reports, it is not the same, very clean and very good attention from the staff, thank you very much.

I wasn't expecting that I must wait again to redeem the tickets paid online so we waited the same amount of time as the people who bought their tickets at the entrance ticket station in the very same day.

Audio guide constantly interrupted! When it restarted, you had to go back to the beginning. Not great. Obligation to return the audio guide to the place where you picked it up, so you have to redo the whole huge site in the opposite direction to return it. Exhausting and impractical!

I would prefer to get a real ticket with a QR code to be really sure that I will directly be able to enter. In the end everything worked well, but I worried and had to ask locally several times where to get the tickets... A more transparent and clear communication would help, like: 1.) You will purchase/purchased a VOUCHER. 2.) Just go directly (skip the line) to any entrance ticket gate, show the voucher/teservation number, and get your ticket... .... KR Silke

Pompeii was a fascinating journey back in time! The vastness of the site offered a ton to explore, with plenty of walking and learning along the way. While the crowds were smaller arriving later in the day, it also meant less time to soak it all in. Tip for future explorers: try to get there earlier for a more comprehensive visit. Using the Headout app to book my ticket was fantastic. The process was simple and straightforward, making the whole experience stress-free. Huge plus for Headout! I'll definitely be using them again when I return to explore more of Pompeii.

Your experience

Deeply ingrained in myth and history, Pompeii dates back to nearly 2,000 years ago. An ancient site, the town was unearthed in 1748 AD after the infamous eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Over here you can revel in the ancient glory of the Campania region forever immortalized by the volcanic debris, standing as a true testament of nature’s infinite existence.

Upon arrival in Pompeii make your way into the attraction where your adventure truly begins. With ancient ruins and age-old artifacts all around, and a skyline dominated by Mount Vesuvius, the visuals through this discovery are breathtaking. Ideally, you want to spend around 4 hours here, there’s plenty for you to see. Walk around the Forum, visit the Basilica or relax under the shade of a tree near the amphitheater, it’s your call. There are numerous frescos and statues spread over the town along with 25 street fountains, 4 public baths and many business buildings which paints an almost real picture of the town in its hay day. As you stroll through the cobbled streets you’ll find yourself looking at everything with a sense of wonder and amazement. After all, you’re in a place that is frozen in the fabric of time.

Your understanding of the ancient world is sure to change after you see how much we have in common with people who lived in the first century. From everyday objects to wine barrels, there’s a lot for you to see and discover on this tour.

If you are one of those people who would rather live an experience than hear about it, check out MAP tickets. With the help of 3D reconstruction and virtual reality, you'll walk the streets of Pompeii in its glory days. See how mundane lives in ancient Rome looked like right before Mount Vesuvius turned the blossoming empire into ashes and lava!
