The procedure, i.e. sending and collecting the tickets, went smoothly. Therefore 5 stars! However, a map is useful to find your way through the area. But you don't get this for free or for little money, you have to buy it together with a guidebook for €16.70. That's outrageous! That is outrageous! Therefore only 4 stars. We didn't buy the guidebook and map, but photographed them from someone else and then obtained the information online. Pompeii at the beginning of November is a dream. Warm, great light (we were there in the afternoon) and not crowded!!!

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience using Headout. Due to a public transport strike that completely disrupted the train network, I was unable to attend the event I had booked. This situation was entirely out of my control, yet Headout offered no assistance or refund, leaving me out of a significant amount of money. It's incredibly frustrating to lose that much with no flexibility or understanding shown. Based on this experience, I can’t trust or use this service again.

The historic Pompeii is one for the books. Our whole family was in awe of everything we saw - the ruins, how the old buildings are still being excavated, the people who were buried in ash, the highest point of the whole already. That provided amazing views We really enjoyed and still talk about it even after a week from our visit (last Saturday).
    • Contrast the vast scale of Pompeii with the intimate, finely preserved details of Herculaneum, all with one simple, skip-the-line combo ticket.

    • Breeze past the queues at Herculaneum and wander through well-preserved streets, frescoed villas, ancient bathhouses, and the impressive House of the Deer.

    • Enter Pompeii at a reserved time to avoid long waiting lines, and explore the Forum, amphitheatre, ancient baths, the House of the Faun, and the moving plaster casts of victims.

    • Enjoy complete flexibility at both sites, giving you more time to truly absorb the stories, atmosphere, and everyday life preserved within.

    Pompeii overall is worth a visit, especially if you know Italy is far from you, historically and architecturally it is amazing, so still worth it in my opinion, the only problem was actually this ticket on headout, this 'ticket' is actually a voucher for a ticket, me and my sister had to walk about 30 minutes from Pompeii Scavi station where we were told to get off for a 'quick entrance', we were then correctly told my staff that we had to walk quite a long away to pick up the ticket with this voucher, Headout just failed to specify anywhere that we had to do that, as a result we lost a lot of time

    It was very easy to find the place to change the voucher for the tickets, and it was very close to the entrance. Pompeii looks amazing! You can walk there for a full day. Also, there is the official app where you can find descriptions of the places and an audio guide.
