Our Herculaneum/Ercolano trip was very nice, weather cooperated. Tickets were issued without any problem (although a lineup to buy the ticket on the spot was not that big in beginning of May). The only thing to mention is the visit time: the skip-the-line tickets mention the strict time while in fact it doesn't matter, one just get the ticket and goes in. Overall - good, thank you.

There are no words to describe the wonder and beauty we saw here! So sad that the site was buried and messed up by nature! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Linda was an excellent, very knowledgeable and informative guide. She was waiting for us at the ticket booth as arranged and took us at our pace through the site. We had a lot of questions and she was able to answer every one. Excellent English.

Très pratique de réserver un créneau relativement tôt pour éviter la foule et la disponibilité des audio guides. Accessible facilement et rapidement le site est à visiter de préférence après Pompei.

Je n'ai pas aimé recevoir les billets sur mon téléphone la veille. Je préfère pouvoir les imprimer avant. L'audioguide n'a pas pu être téléchargé car non compatible avec mon téléphone. Décevant.
