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!

Easy to obtain the auduoguide, it had plenty of information recorded, 360 views, and, after completing the route, it had loads of additional information. Allows you to explore the place in your own speed.

A unique experience to see how was the life of the Romans at that time... Very surprising the state of everything and the good work of restoration.

Excellent to learn about the people who lived there before the current one. The cultural richness that the ancient inhabitants left behind configures a unique culture...

Electronic tickets can be used directly at the entrance, with no need to exchange them at the cash desk. With the audioguides, the tour of the site is complete and the explanations useful. The walk back to the train station may seem long after the site visit.

Beautiful site. Very complete explanations with audioguide. No need for a private guide. Site very well preserved and in early July, relatively quiet. 👍👌🙂 On the other hand, it's a pity that you can't leave heavy motorcycle jackets in the lockers. But if you have a backpack and put the jackets in it, they'll be accepted... An aberration. 😱🥺🙃

Had a wonderful day at Herculaneum exploring the city. Could have just had one audio guide between two people as they didn't require headphones. Booking through Headout was easy and the tickets were easy to find in the app. Would highly recommend spending several hours exploring. Water is free inside the park with byo bottle. Take your own food, there are only vending machines with limited options.

Herculaneum was an amazing experience and the audio guide was well worth it. More preserved than Pompeii. Highly recommend this activity for those interested in history.

We arrived at the excavations by car and everything was very smooth starting from the parking lot. We did not wait either to get The audio guide or to enter. Very pleasant experience and really interesting excavations. Highly recommended

The experience was great, we did not queue at all. The place is fantastic and very well preserved. With the autoguide we went into what used to be Herculaneum, with 360° views.

Historically wonderful but No seats or resting places as it takes several hours to fully see the site No real cafe, current cafe very poor and we spent almost a whole day seeing the site Audio guide was often confusing as talked about places we could not enter Many "rooms" were closed off for no apparent reason ( particularly the male baths ) It would be interesting if the account of the eruption was detailed and the subsequent change of the coastline explained A staged mock up of a typical room with furniture and arti facts of the period or even better , found on the excavation would be enlightening Photographs of workers in the bakery did not reflect the relevant period, very strange

We arrived at Herculaneum and were soon to receive our phone guides and enter the site. Everything went smoothly for an enjoyable day

What was achieved by the scientists and their assistants to make posterity understand what a volcanic eruption causes and also the way of life of the people at that time.

We went with a small group to visit the excavations of Herculaneum. Despite the heat, it was a very pleasant experience. There is a lot to look at and discover, and if you venture out on your own, without a guide, the risk is that your attention span will drop inexorably, perhaps exhausted by the lion's sun. And all this, despite the very interesting audio guides. They also had cute little music and the descriptions were quite detailed, sometimes a bit too repetitive, with insights that we were often tempted to listen to. Even the more "bad tourist" among us, enjoyed the visit, particularly appreciating the reproduction of Hercules who seemed to want to urinate on us and the stunning cottages overlooking the sea of Herculaneum that would become high-class B&Bs today. Done with audio-guides, the visit is very free and one can safely choose what to see and what to skip, if anything. It would be interesting to propose a tour that is not complete but oriented to visit only the points of greatest interest, to avoid getting lost among so many houses that, all in all, are identical.
