Good and not great because not all marked places were well marked on site and many were inaccessible because they were closed. Also not marked was the house of the lupanare. Too bad because particular in Roman life. Good the gps very useful. Sorry that the explanations given lack anecdotes.

The ticket, bought in advance through Headout, not only did not allow us to pass in front of others, but we acquired it by standing in line at the ticket office, and if we had bought it there it would have cost less. Fortunately, there were not so many people, and Pompeii's excavations are outstanding....

I entered quickly and the place is very moving. I toured it on my own and it was inevitable to be shocked to imagine what life and society would be like at that time.

Pompeii is huge, it is a wonderful place, full of history, to visit it 100 percent you need at least 1 full day, a place not to be missed if you visit Italy.

It's great to be able to buy both tickets at the same time, because you save time and money. I loved the two archaeological parks, both Pompeii and Herculaneum.

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 self-exploration is your jam, go for the audio guide tickets, available in multiple languages.
