Pompeii · POMPEII AUDIO GUIDE TOURS
15 reviewed

Pompeii skip-the-line ticket with authorized audioguide and map, entering at Porta Marina Inferiore for a self-paced walk through the ruins.
“There are no signs telling you where skip the line began. I was just told to go to metal detectors and go right! The “skip the line” line was long and included tours and people with regular tickets. We were told to push our way to the front which we did and we got right in however they need better signs directions instructions and a true line dedicated to skip the line.”
Skip-the-line Pompeii entry with an audio guide and map. See frescoed houses, the amphitheater, and the eruption casts at your pace.
“Please note that the internet connectivity in Pompeii is unpredictable. Therefore, we were unable to download and listen to the audioguide. We had the option of picking up the audio device, but the drop off location was a 20 min walk from the train station.”
Skip the long Vesuvius lines with WhatsApp tickets and a digital audioguide, then hike to the crater and big Naples views in 3 hours.
“I purchased this only because Vesuvio was out of tickets already, and this costs more for the same thing, so overall I'm not particularly amused. I was asked to arrive 30 mins later than what the ticket was for, and even with that, there was a traffic jam, had to take an extra bus ride and pay for parking separately. Like charging 3 times from 3 different companies for the same experience :D Anyway, we arrived and got up just fine, didn't have the patience to figure out how the audio guide would work.”

“This villa has amazing frescos and features not seen in other antiquity sites. However, while the numbers of the rooms identified in the site map mostly matched the audio guide, the way we were directed to walk through the site did not follow the number sequence., meaning we had to jump around in the guide to find the right room description. The information in the guide was quite good overall.”
