Bad experience-We booked tickets for Vatican Museum

We booked tickets for Vatican Museum, very expensive from Headout, They didn’t respect the hour for our entry and asked us to go in later, promising that we ‘ll have an upgrade for our tour. They bought the tickets in front of us with 20 euro.We got inside very late and had very little time for visiting. No upgrade, no refund, just excuses.

Reply from Headout

Hi Alin,

I’m truly sorry for the experience you had with your booking. I completely understand how disappointing and frustrating it must have been.

We’ve reviewed the matter with our local partner, who clarified that your original booking, which was for a hosted entry only to the Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel, was upgraded to a guided tour at no additional cost, which you accepted.

Regarding the late entry, this was due to the standard security queue required by the Vatican, which applies to all visitors and can occasionally cause slight delays beyond anyone’s control.

We’ve also mentioned on our experience page and the booking selection page that during high season and peak hours, security check wait times may be longer. You can check the information here: https://shorturl.at/qzxdP

That said, to acknowledge the inconvenience you faced, I’ve added 50% of the booking amount in Headout credits to your wallet, which you can use toward any future experience on Headout.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, just reply to our email and we’ll take care of it.
