The herculeum is fantastic and so worth a visit! We were there in July and it was a heatwave so personally didn't need to get any skip the line or in advance, we could have just walked in but I don't know what it's like rest of the year. Herculeum is so well preserved and there is a section of skeletons if that's something you are looking for particularly if comparing to Pompeii.

Difficulty getting the tickets and audioguide (not in the same place). I had to go back and forth several times in 40-degree heat, which wasn't very pleasant.

It was quick & easy to book & we loved the Herculaneum. Amazing walking around trying to imagine wearing a toga & living in this very old town. The detailed care the excavationists took to expose this village is amazing! Thank you Christine Macfadyen

Give the address of the exchange point OK but why not specify that it's simply the ticket office at the entrance to the site. That way, you won't think it's a different address!
