    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.

    It wasn't crowded. We could amble through and explore all Herculaneum had to offer.
