  • Organizzazione impeccabile, guide preparate e gentili, sito archeologico mantenuto perfetto. Complimenti a tutto lo staff

  • Excellent booking process. Staff at the railway station to direct to ticket hub. Helpful guidance as to tour options. We chose 2 hour guided tour with Mila, was brilliant. Her knowledge was extensive and provided sense of what Pompeii was like for the people, different cultures that lived there.

  • A very efficient service with local staff providing great support. With the tickets there was no queue. The team provided helpful informarion on facilities within the archaeological site and an excellent guide book and map.

  • Satisfied with servis and explanation before we enter visit ruins.

  • I did 7 different tours with Head out, ALL very professional, on time and with clear directions and where to meet.... Truly reomemd it!!!.. Unfortunately I was a victim in other websites , Headout has been my best experience . Good job guys!!

  • The ticket office was easy to find, however, we thought we had purchased the actual audio guide as that is what it says on our ticket, but we only had the guide book. We were given a a couple of complementary audio guide to share between the 6 of us, but had a very hard time. I think the audio guide would be amazing, but I would do one that doesnt require cell service as it was very spotty.

  • Tutto veramente perfetto, scavi tenuti in maniera egregia (ma siamo a Pompei e non poteva essere diversamente!) ma soprattutto la nostra guida, di nome Mia, con la sua preparazione, la proprietà di linguaggio e l'attenzione verso il gruppo, nelle due ore di visita ha destato l'interesse di tutti lasciando un ricordo della giornata indelebile. Ottima esperienza ed ottima organizzazione

  • A fascinating visit to Pompeii. Being able to wander around the site at our own pace was ideal for us. The only thing I would improve would be clearer instructions regarding how to get to the correct entrance gate from Pompeii railway station. The correct entrance for us was a 15 minute walk from the station.

  • Потрясающе! Очень большая территория, много интересных исторических объектов. Особая атмосфера. Обувь должна быть максимально удобной.

  • Nous avons eu des difficultés à trouver l endroit exact pour retirer nos billets de réservation.
