If you are coming to the area, then it is almost guaranteed that this is where you will visit, so rather than detail all that we did and saw, let me rather list a few points of advice. • It is easy to spend a whole day here. We arrived at 8:30am and left at 6pm. Hence wear comfortable shoes.... More

it's MASSIVE! Lots to learn and take in. Have a guide. Wear supportive shoes and take shed loads of water!!!! More

Pompeii itself is amazing and much bigger than I expected. But i was with a tour company that didn't suit my requirements and our tour guide, whilst knowledgable, wasn't adding any fun to the tour, just reciting facts (Sunland tours). If you prefer a bit of animated discussion with your tour I would recommend trying someone else, but if you... More

We travelled from Rome to Naples by train, and had several hours to spend until our cruise for Palermo left that evening so we decided to go to Pompeii rather than spend it in Naples. The Centrale Station has a baggage check, which was perfect. I think it was 5 Euros per bag for 4 hours, then something like 1... More

I have had a fascination with ancient Pompeii for almost my entire life and visiting the excavation site has been a dream since I was a child. On our recent honeymoon to the Amalfi Coast, we made a day trip to Pompeii and I was not disappointed. The ruins are stunning. The site is actually much larger than I expected.... More

My wife and I visited here. We got a guide at the ticket counter (near the train station). It cost us 15 a piece for 6 of us to take the tour in english. It was great. The city is a amazing. It will let you see just how much things were the same 2000 years ago. More

The huge area seems to be in a second phase of deterioration with 50% of the streets and 80% of the houses blocked off. We recommend to see first Herculanum with an audiotour for a better understanding of the Roman city, although that audiotour is going into details of everything that is not visible and placed in the National Museum...

What an amazing experience worth your every penny, you must be prepared to walk and spend the whole day there. The excavations are awesome and the Italian government continues to embelish and protect the site, It was quite a spiritual journey for me. I have been there many times in my life and everytime I discover something new. This last... More
