“Purchasing this experience was very easy and, having used GYG before, we were confident doing so. It is necessary upon arrival to collect a physical ticket which means it’s not 100% “skip the line” but it was very quick. There is a Q code link to the audio guide available in various languages. Herculaneum is a mini Pompeii, very interesting large enough without getting too much. It cost us €50 getting there from the port and €60 return, both by taxi.”

“Once you got the hang of it, it was quite easy to use. As others say, when you click on the number for the relevant site, make sure you also click on the blue dots (below the picture) so that you get all the info on the site. Some sites don’t have any blue dots, but most have 2 or 3. In terms of the actual audio, it sounded as if it had been written by an Italian archaeology/classics student and then literally translated into English - a lot of technical terms used without much explanation. It was however better than nothing, there’s virtually no info boards at Ercolano, so…”

“We booked a month in advance, when we turned up on the day the shop was closed and when we called up, there was no answer. Viator were not helpful as they did not help us find an alternative and said all we could do is lodge a complaint. Luckily we were able to get a full refund.”
Self-guided Pompeii audio in 16 tracks via TravelMate app, offline-ready for $9, with quiz and no ticket pickup.
“Great price for what it *could* be. It was the most difficult thing to get started. The content was far from gripping. No ‘fun facts’, the audio just drones on in a ‘Siri-esque’ voice for a couple of minutes about a few of the points of interest but doesn’t cover everything. Don’t bother or get the proper audio guide. You also need decent signal for this to work properly.”
Private Amalfi Coast Vespa tour with audio guide and driver, riding past Positano, Amalfi, Atrani, and Fiordo di Furore.
“I had the opportunity to do the tour with a friend of mine in mid-August. We only stayed one night in Positano so we were looking for an activity that would allow us to see as much of the Amalfi Coast as possible. This tour far exceeded our expectations. The Amalfi Coast is beautiful and seeing it while riding a motorbike makes it something magical. The two guys who accompanied us were very kind and friendly. I absolutely recommend this experience, it will remain in my heart forever, everything was perfect. I take this opportunity to say hello to our riders! Greetings from Venice!Read more”
