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!!!

Booking was easy. Even though we had to go 20 minutes to the entrance, it was hard considering that we had little time to be inside. And the tickets nobody told us where they were and we had to walk around a lot to find the place where they were printed. It would have been easier to enter through the upstairs door and show the tickets online. Also we had to wait in the store 20 min more for them to print them. But the experience inside was fine. Too big for just a few hours. But I will come back someday

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.

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.

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).

We had a 5-year-old with us and being able to skip a really interminable queue was a real relief, Pompeii is very impressive and I will return there sooner or later , the two hours we devoted were not enough time to visit everything

It was such a memorable experience! So interesting to be able to see how people would have lived and walk through an ancient town that is so well preserved!

We arrived at Pompeii on a Monday around 12pm and found it to be quite busy. Our pre-purchased tickets required us to check in at the tourist center which was unexpected and a bit confusing to find and set us back an hour from scheduled ticket time. With the help of a local ristorante owner we eventually found the location where we were bombarded with sales people who tried to sell us maps as well as a listening tour guide device, which needed to be returned before the park closed, or a QR code to listen on our own phones which did not cover much of the sites. I would recommend getting there as soon as the park opens to avoid an onslaught of guided tour buses. Also, which entry gate your ticket is for, plan ahead on where to park if you are driving there. Arrive and at least half an hour before your scheduled ticket time unless you already know where to go to get your tickets printed for entry. There are three entrances to the park and you really need to know which one your ticket is for. As for Hurculaneum, I found this to be a more intimate and relaxed experience. It is a far better preserved site with more mosaics and frescoes, far fewer people and felt far less hurried. All in all an experience not to be missed. In both Pompeii and Herculaneum we were approached by private tour guides inside the park for an added cost but chose not use them. Viewing the human remains in both parks felt invasive on a very personal level and I chose not photograph them out of respect.

Explore both Herculaneum and Pompeii with skip-the-line entry and double the history in one convenient combo.
