The system is very easy to use, and it is convenient to buy tickets without queuing, as you can make better use of your time. Especially for those of us who travel during the day from cruise ships. I recommend Headout, I think they are serious, responsible and operate very well in Italy and Greece.

The excavations of Herculaneum are a real gem! We loved them so much! Definitely worth visiting. The skip the line allowed us to be inside the excavations within minutes. Also nice was the idea of the deck chairs that allowed us to rest and fully enjoy the beauty of the place!

The site was more compact and intimate than Pompei making the experience more enjoyable. Quite a hike from station though.

The whole experience was amazing. We enjoyed every moment walking through the history of Herculaneum and the people that were affected

Our Herculaneum/Ercolano trip was very nice, weather cooperated. Tickets were issued without any problem (although a lineup to buy the ticket on the spot was not that big in beginning of May). The only thing to mention is the visit time: the skip-the-line tickets mention the strict time while in fact it doesn't matter, one just get the ticket and goes in. Overall - good, thank you.

There are no words to describe the wonder and beauty we saw here! So sad that the site was buried and messed up by nature! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Love the visit but the ticket system was poor. Prebooked tickets with the audio guide. Was directed to the ticket desk (had to wait), then directed to pick up audio guide, then given another piece of paper to go back in the ticket queue to get entrance tickets. So from an advert of skip the queue I had to queue twice! Other than that I thought it was a fab visit, just sort the "skip the queue" arrangements

Linda was an excellent, very knowledgeable and informative guide. She was waiting for us at the ticket booth as arranged and took us at our pace through the site. We had a lot of questions and she was able to answer every one. Excellent English.

The app was good. Audio guide not so good and parts of the site ( rooms at the shoreline ) were closed without any prior notice so a little disappointing.

M'ha agradat com es veu de be com era la ciutat, es molt realista, es veu que hi ha molta feina a fer, però et fas una idea força clara . Es l'únic lloc on realment ha sigut efectiva la compra on linees de les entrades.

Ticketing experience was super easy but I had to download the app. Place was amazing and not busy at all. Probably didn't need skip the line tickets for our particular day. We went early May on a nice day.

Ticketing worked smoothly. All well presented with clear signs. There were enough places to sit and find shade. A lift from the top to the bottom would have been useful for people with mobility problems.

Herculaneum itself was fascinating but I wish I'd just queue for a ticket. It was quicker, easier and far cheaper. Nowhere I on the headout system did it tell me I was paying 50% more than I needed to.

Ticketing experience straightforward. No hassle when we arrived at Herculaneum. Much smaller ruins than Pompeii, but equally interesting.

Herculaneum is a stunning place to visit, with a reasonably clear map to follow. The booking experience with Headout was flawless and pain-free.

Free Lockers for rucksacks which makes walking round easier. We didn't have guide but plenty of interesting things to look at throughout and didn't feel we missed out. 4 hrs is plenty of time to see it all and take it in. Well worth a visit. Not far from ercolano scavi train station to easy to get to. Well worth a visit

On the day I visited the Herculaneum, it wasn't very busy, so you didn't need fast-track entry. Otherwise, I can only recommend Herculaneum. Even though it's smaller than Pompeii, you can easily spend 2-3 hours there.

Excellent information around the excavations. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The way into the excavations was beautifully set out. A fascinating day out.

The guide was very good for once, and we didn't have to deal with unpleasant officials. BUT WE PAID FOR A GROUP OF 10 AND THERE WERE 34 OF US. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO COMPENSATE US?

Although we had a ticket with fast track entry, we first had to get the audio guide and then have the tickets printed out. Each time we had to queue. It wasn't full, so it wasn't too bad. But uncomplicated is different, e.g. a working ticket on the cell phone
