Entering the ruins with the on-line purchased tickets was quick, easy, and smooth. Ruins were awesome, as they were on our first visit in 2017.

Beautiful experience. We visited from Spain. We liked it better than the visit to Pompeii. The excavation staff was very friendly. It is very well restored. In some houses the conservation is so good that you can be transported to ancient Rome and imagine yourself living there. I give a 10/10 to this excursion.View original review in Spanish

It was so easy booking tickets for Herculaneum on Headout! The site itself is well restored giving an interesting insight into life prior to the eruption! It was heartbreaking going down to the previous shoreline and seeing the skeletons of those who were waiting to be rescued! Loved the paintings which are still visible all these years later! The only downside is that it is at least 20 min walk from the station. We struggled to find a bus or taxi to take us to the site.

Nice, unhindered visit, but a ticket cut out for the girl doesn't mean you get in any quicker, as you have to go and do the girl to get a ticket!View original review in French

It is impressive to see in person how deep the city was buried and how far from the sea. That the skeletons were found on the jetties is very impressive. Finding the works of art that decorated the houses, frescoes, mosaics ... statues is a marvel.View original review in Spanish
