Naples for history geeks

Having visited Pompeii a few days before we decided to do without a guide this time and just explore Herculaneum ourselves. It was so much more peaceful than Pompeii and the completeness of the buildings is amazing. You can really see what a beautiful place it would have been to live. We really enjoyed our visit here. Prebooking the ticket meant we just strolled straight in, which was great.

Wahat a great site to visit Was an experience to visit this historical site Easy to obtain vouchers from the office which you then had to stand in a queue and await the vouchers to be exchanged for tickets Audio guides were ok worked intermittent Overall expense was good !!

La guide Antonietta a été très agréable à écouter. Son sourire et ses explications ont contribué à nous faire passer un excellent moment pendant 2h. Elle nous a également donné les clefs importantes pour continuer la visite tous seuls. Quant au site, il est juste EXCEPTIONNEL !!! Très satisfaits de notre expérience.

We have fantastic time visiting all the places organising everything online was easy and no problem great to be picked up and dropped back to city the attractions were amazing also the scenery and weather which helped the experience too 👍100%

Well organised - got a message before with google maps co ordinates and queue skip! Well worth the visit and well done by the company!

First of all, thank you for this day. Even though it's over 600km from Rome, it was worth every effort. Seeing Pompeii is a highlight. Superbly preserved, you get a wonderful insight into Roman life. Via Appia Antica is an orphan compared to the roads here. The paintings are also very well preserved. The funniest thing we found was the 90 fast food stations for local residents. At first we were worried that we would only see a small corner in the two hours. But our local guide had a great route and we were able to see a lot. Vesuvius was much more stressful afterwards. You are chased up the mountain on a full stomach and have to be back down at a certain time. I can say one thing. We're not the least fit, but it was close. We were two minutes late. One criticism in passing. The restaurant for the toilet break is outrageously overpriced. From time to time the trip feels like a coffee run. But let's put that to one side, you can decide against it and not buy anything. The day was great and we would book it again and again.

Excellent tour guide made it very entertaining while showing the most important parts of the sites. It was a great tour, well worth the money.

Staff was excellent and professional. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I would have liked to have seen the plaster castings taken of the romans

Online ticketing was easy but I had trouble finding the number 7 bus stop. It was a Sunday so the kiosk on the piazza was closed. I enjoyed the coastal views from line b

The Royal Palace of Naples was amazing. The opulence was almost too much for my eyes, where does one look first. So much to see, one more beautiful than the other. Nice way to spend the afternoon

Having the opportunity to visit, learn and deepen one's knowledge of local culture with an organized and well-functioning service like Headout's, when one is a traveler in our time, where it is not always and not for everyone easy to carve out time for culture, is a great opportunity. Even more so if the people who accompany and lead these visits are knowledgeable, professional and at the same time passionate about the topics they exhibit. So recognition to the work of the perosne of Headout and specifically many kudos to Carlo Zarone.

Perfect balance of historical facts and social context. Delivered in perfect English and the added bonus of a Bluetooth headset to ensure you never missed a thing. Great value for money and highly recommend.

Incredible experience. Audio tour on the phone provided was very informative. The digital map was particularly useful. I enjoyed being able to choose my own route and see Pompei at my own pace, with the option to listen to detailed background information at my leisure. Would recommend!

The reception of the hostesses for the reservation, which had not been transmitted correctly but which was effective. Timetable respected. My advice: Arrive early at Pompei scavi station. To meet at 13:00, take the 11:44 train to Naples.

Absolutely loved everything! The people was so nice and helpful! Being able to explore and see what pompeii looks like know was amazing and unbelievable just a great experience!!

Poly and Francesco were great. It was great expirience, fun stories, great knowlege from Poly. We are waiting for her to come to Bosnia to meet our friend Zlatan! Best regards, Zlatan's friends!

It arrived promptly by email I wasn't however aware that in addition to the tour I would have to buy an entrance ticket. This I feel should have been made clearer The tour leader was very helpful and knowledgeable and made our visit to the museum more enjoyable

The tour is very authentic. Alessandro has a very broad knowledge and organizes the tour with wit and passion. I can highly recommend it!

La passione della nostra Guida, la volgia di far conoscere non solo la storia di napoli ma come la parte buona della società odierna sta impegnandosi per riscattare l'immagine di una società troppo legata al passato

Beautiful experience, definitely worth the visit. 10 and praise to our guide, Emmanuel, he was able to make us appreciate the history of the catacombs and the neighborhood! Well done everyone!!!

Very knowledgeable and gritty guides...you can feel passion and motivation! Very interesting places that deserve to be visited! Also for a support to the project of these willing NAPOLETAN* boys/girls.

Our excursion to Vesuvius and Pompeii was well organized and staff were very friendly. No queuing to either attraction and bus drops at convenient locations. Only feedback is the Vesuvius walk is much further than 1km quoted by the guides from drop off and is not the easy walk it's advertised as. Maps of Pompeii were limited in detail - would have preferred a more explicit map and more detailed audio

The tour was straightforward and didn't waste your time by running you through a presentation before or after trying to get you to purchase something. Fabio was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. It rained the day we went but I'd like to say it was more enjoyable that way as it didn't seem very crowded for a Friday. The train was perfect to get to and from as long as you don't mind the 10 minute walks.

The views from the mountain were amazing. The lack of engagement/information/detail by the tour organirer in terms of meeting the guide on the mountain was very disappointing. Essentially u were left to own devices in terms of getting up and down in time and it was tight.. I am glad I did the trip but other trips may b better organised.

Well organized day. The visit with audio guides satisfactory. I recommend entering the code before leaving the office xbecause it may not work and before entering the palace check the app x know how to proceed.

Everything was wonderful! The guide was very informative and entertaining. The only thing I would suggest is changing the picture of where to meet in case our others were literal like us. :)

Our guide Luke was wonderful ❤️.... knowledgeable and friendly he revealed curious and funny anecdotes to us!

The whole process was easy, our guide for the day was knowledgeable and lovely and the other guide at Pompeii was awesome too. 😊

The trip went very well. Time on site was minimal, but we were able to get an idea of what these cities were like. The audio guide in Pompeii was not intuitive at all, so I gave up listening to it and concentrated on the visit. Very well organized guide!

It is a wonderful experience to fill your mind with your eyes is a wonder too bad you can't take pictures it would have been nice to see this masterpiece again and show it to friends
