Très pratique de réserver un créneau relativement tôt pour éviter la foule et la disponibilité des audio guides. Accessible facilement et rapidement le site est à visiter de préférence après Pompei.

Je n'ai pas aimé recevoir les billets sur mon téléphone la veille. Je préfère pouvoir les imprimer avant. L'audioguide n'a pas pu être téléchargé car non compatible avec mon téléphone. Décevant.

Nous avons réservé 2 audioguides pour 20€, alors que sur place le prix aurait été de 16€ (10€ pour le premier et 16€ pour deux). Dommage qu'on n'ait pas pu bénéficier de cette réduction sur le site. Sinon tout a très bien fonctionné.

A unique site and not too busy. Visitor experience marred by the poor coordination between location number ing on map, audio guide, and on site. We missed a couple of experiences as a result. Site signage very poor.
