We really enjoyed visiting Herculeam. It's smaller, and better preserved, than pompeii. To see it, from above, when you first walk in, was incredible. The museums bought the people to life that little bit more. Whilst the audio guide was helpful, it didn't always appear to flow from place to place. Also the map didn't tie in with the guide. We felt a guided tour would have worked better for us. We worked it out though and would throughly recommend.

Was wonderful. Only got to see about a third of it as we were caught in an almight storm. What we did see was amazing. Well worth money. They are missing a selling opportunity by not having a snack/café there. We would have weathered the storm had there been somewhere dry to sit it out

Really didn’t need fast track tickets on the day and time we went. Could have purchased them at a cheaper price on site. A free paper map like you get in Pompeii would have been helpful rather than a QR code. Ticket allows all day access which is great but we were limited in time unfortunately. Definitely recommend seeing Herculaneum and Pompeii and if you’re doing Naples, be sure to make a visit to the National Archeological Museum where a lot of the excavations are displayed. Truly spectacular!
