Headout's service was disappointing. Tickets were delayed, and customer support was unresponsive. The app frequently crashed, making it difficult to manage bookings. Prices were not transparent, with hidden fees added at checkout. Overall, a frustrating experience that left me regretting my decision to use their platform.

As with a lot of these companies, Headout use local businesses to provide these tours. Booked a full tour around the Vatican museums with priority access to St Paul's (98 Euro) We arrived at 0900 as instructed, was told we were very early, given a sticker and asked to wait outside for half an hour. At 0930, other tour groups left, we stayed on the pavement. At 1000, one of the operators thought it'd be a good idea to come out and shuffle our group around the corner towards the Vatican. At 1015, one of the girls from the desk tried to scan our tickets through, was refused, panicked, phoned her office. At 1030, one of her colleagues informed us that our tour guide was ill, there was no replacement and either we could come back later or they could get us entry, but no tour and no priority access to St Paul's. As you'd imagine, there were some people in the group who had travelled halfway around the globe to see the Vatican and see St Paul's so were quite rightly devastated by what was happening. The excuse of the tour guide being sick was nonsense as we all witnessed the woman try and fail to scan all of our tickets through, they simply hadn't booked it correctly. Even if the sick tour guide was a legitimate reason, what type of company wouldn't have other guides on call in case of illness? Headout immediately jumped in by saying "well, it's not really our fault, sorry" and then offered a partial refund of 50 Euro. Bare in mind, the bog standard entry we ended up receiving was worth 17 Euro. It took a month of complaining to finally get a partial refund, Headout's customer service is one of the worst I've ever encountered. I can't imagine how stressful the whole experience must be for some people. Bottom line, if you're going to Italy, don't use Headout, you'd be better off queueing with everyone else and listening to an audio guide.

Terrible Experience with Headout – Avoid at All Costs! We booked a once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Louvre through Headout, and they completely ruined our experience. They sent us the wrong tickets, causing us to miss our visit. When we tried to resolve the issue while in Paris, we were forced to call their support team in New York, which left us with a €50 phone bill—all because of their mistake. Despite explaining the situation multiple times to different agents, including Rachel and Monica, Headout refused to refund the phone charges. All we asked for was reimbursement for the costs we incurred trying to fix their error, and instead, we got the runaround and excuses. It's shocking that a company like Headout would treat its customers this way—no accountability, no proper resolution, and endless frustration. If you value your time and money, stay far away from Headout.

Booked two tours in Italy, both had major issues.

Overbooked a tour, then rescheduled it twice without communicating the change to me.

Used vendors who provided terrible experiences then refused to be provide compensation, stating that its hands are tied by policies that it created.

Customer service promised to call me back and email me back, none of which ever happened.

Other people whose flights were delayed were not allowed to reschedule tours they had paid for, despite there being documented availability on other tours at similar times.

Actual performance is a far cry from its vision of 'making travel fun'.

Punishes people for circumstances beyond their control and will lose any following rapidly based on the reviews I have seen. More detractors than promoters on social media is a concern.
