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.

These tickets were a dream. I bought them online the night before, the tickets allowed us to enter Herculaneum at any point during the day. We arrived around 11.30am and we were straight through, no queues or waiting.
I loved Herculaneum, it's so well preserved and is much smaller than Pompeii so is not as overwhelming.
It is at the bottom of a hill so please be aware if you need to get back to the train station for a set time, it's quite a walk!

It was an incredibly beautiful day. Admission was uncomplicated and quick. There are several toilets and the small museum is great.

Loved Herculaneum. I have been to Pompeii twice and this visit just topped off my love for the history of Italy. Easy to navigate and amazing to see almost intact buildings. Only gripe was that I downloaded the audio and when I tried to listen it was in Italian (I know I would definitely have downloaded English). Close to the station as well for extra points!

Herculaneum is a place that makes an impression and stimulates the imagination. Not so long ago, all these buildings were located several meters underground. Today, they allow us to see with our own eyes what this ancient city really looked like. Most of the buildings presented here have been preserved in such good condition that walking the streets of Herculaneum, you can feel like you are in a real city where life still goes on. I will remember my time spent in Herculaneum for a very long time. Buying tickets via Headout allowed direct entry to the archaeological park.

It was good but in error we thought we were picking up an audio guide. We had poor internet at the site so it was very slow to download the digital guide . Staff at Herculanium told us there was no free wifi but in fact on entering the archaeological entry gate there was a wifi QR code & it downloaded instantly. We wasted time outside the gate trying to download.

The best sightseeing with phenomenal insights into the life of the ancient Romans. Hidden under several meters of volcanic ash and lava, Hercaluneum was excavated. It was even closer to the volcanic eruption that engulfed Pompeii. Here you are allowed closer to the excavation and the site is not very extensive. Nevertheless, the frescoes and mosaics are more beautiful than in Pompeii. Nevertheless, a visit to Pompeii is also very interesting. The cost is around 14 euros for adults.

Ticketing experience was easy! I loved walking through all the ruins and seeing the artwork. The gardens are beautiful and redeem the place after such hardship.

The ticketing experience was excellent. Herculaneum was a nice break from the crowds at other sites. A peaceful, sunny day.

The park of Ercolano is beautiful, smaller than Pompeii but better preserved. I recommend it without a doubt.
It was very convenient to get the tickets through this way. Everything was great!

The other members of my party weren't able to download their guides so I paid extra money for nothing!
