From Sorrento: Pompeii Skip-the-Line Ticket, Audioguide and Train

Not great communication but the threat of a strike did require us to leave Sorrento on an earlier train than booked which added a last minute stress to the situation. The organisation at Pompeii was generally good but two signifiant downsides. The group was too large (although headphones and the guide on a mike helped). The second was the guide spoke good english and spoke clearly so was fairly understandable but her knowledge was limited a a set rote she probably delivers every day. When asked anything outside of what she was saying she had little detail or apparent knowledge The facilities in Pompeii were better than I expected, and the overall experience of seeing the remains was fascinating. Would highly recommend but seek smaller groups or skip the guide and just do an audio tour.

amazing time i definitely recommended getting a guided tour the place is huge and if you don't know about the history youll miss a lot the experience was brilliant very hot so definitely take a hat or brolly as there is no shade and plenty water there are 2 fountains we went to but the tour is 2 hours wear trainers or something comfortable on feet loved it amazing history thanks

Disappointing. This was quoted as a skip the line - we had to line up to get our tickets in Sorrento, we had to line up to get the audio guide, we then had to line up to exchange our tickets for entry tickets and then line up for entry. Poor representation of what the deal was with us having to line up to exchange the tickets as this line had us waiting over 45 minutes. Seeing Pompeii great, audio guides were good too. But paid extra through gyg to get into Pompeii earlier in the day to avoid the heat and we ended up missing thr cooler part of the day. Would not purchase these again

Train was packed commuter train with hard seats and standing room only. People super squashed on very hot day really not ideal, especially with three young children. On route emergency stop mid tunnel then complete darkness for a time with no explanation. Horrible experience the terrible journey took the edge of a great visit to Pompeii. Wish we had paid extra for air conditioned coach.
