My experience in Pompeii with Headout was truly special. The organization was excellent, everything went smoothly, and the guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. I learned many interesting things about the history of the site and appreciated the clear and engaging way the information was presented. The atmosphere was incredible, and the fact that I didn’t have to wait in long lines made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Pompeii in a relaxed and well-organized way.

I had an amazing experience visiting Pompeii with Headout! The entry process was smooth and hassle-free, which made the start of the trip very enjoyable. Exploring Pompeii was absolutely fascinating — walking through the ancient streets and seeing the preserved ruins felt like stepping back in time. The organization was great, and everything went exactly as expected. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized visit. Thank you for such a seamless experience!

The Pompei guided tour was very good. It has covered the daily life of the people of Pompei. The fact that the area of the Pompei site is huge, a guided tour truly saves us a lot of time to explore it on our own. A BIG round of applause to our tour guide Igor, who has made the tour very interesting. Highly recommend to those who will visit the Pompei ruins to book the guided tour.

Go to the Tourism desk near the site entrance to pick up your tickets (this wasn't very clear in the booking information). The audio guide on the smartphone isn't very practical. A printed guide and a good map of the site are more useful. The site is fabulous. The Plus ticket is a must, as Villa dei Misteri is well worth the trip. A fabulous visit full of emotion.

The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and the area was well-organized, but I must point out a few areas where I found the cleaning to be lacking. I didn’t see any cleaning staff walking along the walkways, and in some places I found paper and food scraps inside the column bases and on the floor (people’s lack of civility isn’t improving).

Pompei was a great experience, the only inconvenience was getting the tickets, apparently even tho we had the tickets bought online we still had to go to a turist office to get them (we had the qr code and everything on the phone tho). Other then that it was great.

What a wonderful visit! At 9 a.m., there's hardly anyone there—it's great! We spent four hours there and didn't even see half of it! Don't forget to bring something to drink...
