Really cool and atmospheric spot...definitely worth a visit if you’re into history. It’s an underground cavern that once stored the city’s water supply, and walking through it feels like stepping into another world. The lighting and reflections make it a great place for photos. It’s a relatively quick walkthrough, but the space is impressive and packed with historical weight. A quiet, moody break from the busy streets above.

The monument is spectacular, it is the second time I go to see the Cistern, it is one of the places I repeat when I go to Istanbul.
The experience with the purchase without queue, very good, easy access to the monument by a specific row with very little queue.
The only drawback is that not being able to download the audio guide to save, if you do not have data, you can not hear it.

The tour started on time, we quickly got through the guided tour line and security, and the guide was very informative with pictures and anecdotal stories as well.
I would add that it was unclear for us to look for a guide with a flag at the EXIT of the Cistern. That extra information would have saved us some drama.

The time it took to figure out where to pick up the tickets for the Topkapi Palace and waiting for the guide who was to take us inside exceeded the time it would have taken us to buy the regular ticket. The "skip the line" only works well for Hagia Sophia and the Cistern. No for the palace

We had an awesome time at the Eiffel Tower booked through Headout. Unfortunately I did not read all the instructions properly thinking the scanning code would get us in & didn't realise we had to meet a guide. The staff at the Eiffel Tower was not that helpful & one said to ask any guide. Luckily the first person we met was a guide frm Headout & even though we were not supposed to be part of her group as we were a few minutes late for our time slot, she allowed us to join her group & we had a wonderful experience. Would recommend this company & so glad u have booked a few trips with Headout through Europe.

We opted for the Eiffel Tower summit + riverboat cruise combo. We enjoyed the mini guided tour up to the Eiffel Tower and the escort up to the 2nd floor, with the benefit of a "coup-file".
From there, we were autonomous and managed our time on the esoteric as we saw fit. Ditto for the boat cruise on the Seine.
We were happy with this formula, but if you're looking for a more comprehensive guided tour with an expert guide, this is not it.
Only available in English. For the activity in French, you had to pay 5 euros (?).

Beautiful experience that I would also repeat immediately! One never gets tired of seeing the Eiffel Tower especially when accompanied by an empathetic and helpful guide (even if , alas, he does not speak Italian like the vast majority of French people)who, after explaining the history of the tower in Spanish, English and French, escorted us to the second floor and then left us free to visit this wonder .
From any floor and angle of the tower the view of Paris is breathtaking!!!
All this without having stood in line for even a minute given the priority access.
Uncover the history behind this iconic landmark with an expert guide while choosing between panoramic city views by day or night.
- Everything you get: Head to the elevator to the second floor or the summit, the highest point in Paris. Along the way, hear captivating stories about the tower’s construction, significance, and Gustave Eiffel’s vision. On your descent, stop at the first-floor glass platform for a thrilling perspective of the city below.
- Why choose this: The Eiffel is more than just a viewpoint—this guided tour offers a deeper understanding of its history. With a small group (max 20 guests), enjoy an interactive experience.
- Choose from multiple slots available— by day, enjoy clear views of Paris landmarks, and by night, witness the stunning city lights and the tower's sparkling illuminations.
- Upgrades: Add a Seine River cruise, with the Eiffel Tower as the convenient boarding point, for a scenic view of the city’s landmarks from the water.

Unforgettable Eiffel Tower Summit Tour – Thanks to Joanna! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding our guide was easy, and from the very beginning, Joanna stood out with her professionalism. She gave us a clear safety briefing and set expectations early on—there was no skip-the-line access, and we might have to wait. And we did—almost two hours! But honestly, it didn’t feel that long at all because Joanna kept us thoroughly engaged. With her arsenal of fun facts, quirky trivia, and rich history of the Eiffel Tower, she turned what could’ve been a frustrating wait into an educational and entertaining part of the experience. Her energy, knowledge, and customer service were second to none—hands down the best I’ve encountered during my entire trip in Paris. Joanna didn’t just guide us to the top—she elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended!

It was really exciting to see all the marine species present like belugas, seals, sharks plus other animals like crocodiles, flamingos, turtles, etc. The dolphin show was amazing, we had chills! The sociability, beauty and intelligence of these animals is something that leaves you breathless...overall everything is well organized, although there were quite a lot of people , we did not suffer , the spaces are large and all well managed. Numerous facilities available, such as bars, restaurants, self dispensers of water and soft drinks, toilets numerous and well maintained. The whole structure around is something impressive. The Science Museum is also wonderful, very large spaces and everything well maintained. The Leonardo immersive room is wonderful. Lots of stations to try some experiments or virtual experiences. Everything is really worthwhile.

We loved being able to enjoy the bus while doing our sightseeing all day long
from 9:45 am to 7:45 pm (we took the bus closest to our apartment, only 10 min walk away) impeccable 😉. We had a great day, the staff on the bus are very pleasant, it's great to find people who speak all languages (at least ours 😉). They gave us good advice.....
We recommend enjoying Barcelona this way for a day, it's perfect.....and not as tiring as it sounds because you can rest on the bus 🚌

Buying the tickets online was very convenient as I was able to save my euros for other things. We took the hop on and hop off green line in Barcelona and had an easy way of seeing a lot of the city. It was a hot day, so the bus ride on top was the best way to get a lot of the city in. My feet really appreciated the ride.
Ps. We only had one day and a half in Barcelona, so this was a great option to get in as much as we could.

Buying the tickets was very easy, but the activity didn't start properly... I had to ask for the headphones and map myself, the friendliness of the flight attendant was strange, this on the first day, the first contact. However, on the second day, the availability, friendliness and care were incredible. The pity was that not all the audio terminals worked and it was very hot downstairs.

Was really nice seeing the city in a short time. We did not want to go out because of the heat but saw a lot of major landmarks. One side of the bus did not have audio tourguide. Felt safe and comfortable. AC downstairs. Really easy buying the tickets through headout. Also for finding other things to do.

Price too high for the service provided. Nonchalant staff. Lost paper tickets = 0 commercial gestures = big disappointment 👎👎👎. Only solution = buy more tickets. Seriously? An imposed departure point that was a 40min walk away when I could have taken the bus 5 min from my hotel. Impossible to know the route of the bus before having it inside. I wouldn't recommend this company.

In general, there are many good things about the bus tour: stops and transfers from route to route and an audio guide in many languages, and the ability to get off and on throughout the tour and friendly staff, but one significant disadvantage, in my opinion, is the lack of air conditioning. Riding in such a bus in the hot season is very uncomfortable.

It is a good proposal ; interesting to be able to go down in the places of interest ; especially for those who do not know the public means of transportation ! It is necessary to be clear about the places you want to visit to plan where to get off ! There are places that can not be seen from the bus !

Highly recommended combo for families and curious minds!
Booking the Oceanogràfic + Science Museum Combo through Headout was super easy and smooth. The mobile tickets were delivered instantly, and we skipped the long lines, which saved a lot of time. Oceanogràfic was absolutely stunning – the underwater tunnels and the dolphin show were unforgettable. The Science Museum was interactive and perfect for all ages, especially kids. It’s a great way to spend a full day in Valencia. Totally worth the price and a hassle-free experience thanks to Headout!

"The Valencia Aquarium is an exciting journey into the heart of the oceans! The variety of marine species is endless and each tank is a world unto itself, full of surprises and wonders. But the dolphin show was the most exciting moment: their intelligence, agility and friendliness left one breathless! And the fact that there are so many restaurants inside was a much appreciated comfort touch. Definitely worth a visit, it is an experience that leaves you with a smile on your face and a heart full of joy!"

Literally exciting. Start of the day with the hemispheric, continue to the science museum and finally (skeleton on the cake) oceanografic. I was on vacation in Valencia with my family and could not miss visiting with the perfect combo. All beautiful, my 7-year-old daughter loved it so much and it was the best experience of the vacation for us. We wish we could have spent more time and lingered longer in every corner of both the museum and the aquarium. Highly recommended.

We loved the aquarium! The experience was unique, and everyone should visit it while in Valencia. Be sure to see the dolphin show — such a touching moment. I wouldn’t recommend visiting the Science Museum. Many of the exhibitions were only in Spanish. Unfortunately, we missed our scheduled time for the Hemisfèric due to poorly provided information during the booking process on the Headout app. Although we contacted the company, we were unable to reschedule the activity. The refund was issued as app credits, which is better than nothing, but I’m still not satisfied. The misleading information and missing the activity really made me feel sad that day.

From arriving and receiving the tickets the process was seamless and very well organised. The headsets were great and everyone moved at their own pace and could experience the rooms with ease. There was also a family option which meant the children were engaged looking for the items in the room and checking them off. I personally would have liked the option to learn about all of the paintings or objects which were limited to a few per room but I understand not everyone would enjoy that.
The gardens were lovely and lots of options for ice cream or food at the end with a gift shop too.

It was real eye opener to see on the other side of Buckingham Palace, to learn about some facts like number of rooms and number of employees who work at the palace. The rooms were truly majestic, especially the stairs.
The paintings in various rooms were spectacular. We finished off with tea in the café and ice cream in the garden, which was really so nice.
Overall a fantastic afternoon for the whole family who thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

The format of times written down was confusing. I actually missed the tour because I thought it was at 2:30pm when your instructions said the tour was 2 hr 30min. Seeing the times close together at a glance I misread the time at lost out, over $69 (USA) I'm very disappointed I could reschedule or the least maybe have someone call me to see if I was lost. I had done another tour and they let me even when I was late due to a late train. I would never recommend any tour through this company!

We very much liked the boat ride to the falls. It was an incredible experience with the water in the air and the turbulences of the falling water. The raincoat provided is a good protection against the water. Of course, the shoes get wet which can be accepted.
However, the guided tour before was not so well organized. Because of the background noise of the falls the guy was difficult to understand and because of the large group he could not get through to everyone. For such problems one can imagine better solutions.

I thought Darrel did a great job of managing such a diverse group. The falls speak for themselves. If I could add something to address. In the beginning, we're all standing around for at least 30 mins. Peter likes to engage with each person during check-in. But it would be better to move the line along faster and maybe get the tour started with those there sooner rather than waiting. Anyone late or has last-minute sign-ups can be brought in a second group. But Peter needs to move faster.

The tour guide was exceptional...loved his enthusiasm and knowledge. Everything was very well organized. Easy to meet up with the group, and he made it easy to navigate the crowds etc. We loved the maid of the mist!
I would have rated it 5 stars except for the cancellation policy. I was glad we went, but was shocked that there was no allowance or grace periord to change a reservation.

Our tour guide Paul was friendly and had tons of fun facts about the falls and surrounding area. As for the boat ride ... the Maid of the Mist was an amazing time!! The boat gets so close to the falls and offers a spectacular 360 view of the the area. You for sure get a bit more than a "mist" on the ride, but it's so worth it!!

Easy booking and directions, guide was great. Misleading site as it is not official for Maid boats, just a 3rd party overpriced walking tour of free state park then puts you on boats at the end. Could have done this ourselves and paid far less.

The transportation to Auschwitz was very punctual, although they changed the pick up time twice it did not change our plans much since it was an hour difference. The driver explained all the planning in detail and we made a stop at a gas station before to go to the bathroom and have a drink, since the museum would be more crowded and there are no cafes.
The guide took a group of about 30 people, but we used headphones, so the information was not lost. It is true that it is a very fast tour as you have to see a lot in a short time but you don't miss any detail.
My only recommendation is to have a good breakfast before going and bring a quick snack to fill you up, as there are no long breaks to eat properly at lunchtime.

Although my trip to Auschwith started with an urgent message about change of pick-up point, the bus was very punctual on the time set. Driver was nice, polite and drove carefuly, explaining clearly to the visitors what we were going to do. In the museum our guide was excellent. He explained in excellent english every detail concerning the site, giving a lot of historical and social information. Very kind and well prepared to answer serveral questions. The general impression was very posiive. Everything was well organized and serious giving the adecuate respect to the importance of such an important place for mankind. Thank yoy very much indeed.

We were taken care of from start to finish, with time to shop after the tour if we wished. Our guide was very good and spoke very, very good French.
A minor problem with the bus pick-up at the beginning. Once we arrived at the meeting point, we were given no instructions or information to help us identify our bus. Because yes, the meeting points are used by other groups who are also going to the same place.
Once the bus arrived, our names were called, but I would have liked to have been able to identify it or to have been warned of its arrival, on time or delayed.

Even though the tour was brought forward from 11 a.m. to 8 a.m., the organization was very good overall. Everything went smoothly. Our tour guide spoke very good German and explained a lot and also answered questions. The 3:30h tour goes by quickly and is a bit superficial. There is little time to look at things in peace. You would have to book one of the longer tours for that. Overall, it was a very good experience (despite all the terrible things we saw and heard)

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is a deeply moving and sobering experience. It’s not a “beautiful” place in the conventional sense—nor should it be. It is a place that confronts us with the darkest chapters of human history, and reminds us of the unimaginable suffering endured by millions. Our tour was exceptionally well guided by Magdalena m. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and respectful tone were outstanding throughout the visit. She managed to convey historical facts with clarity while also capturing the emotional weight and human stories behind them. Magdalena struck the perfect balance between education and empathy—never overstepping the line into dramatization, but also never letting the gravity of the place fade. This is not a tour you “enjoy” in the traditional sense. It is a tour you carry with you. Thanks to Magdalena, we left not only informed, but emotionally connected to what we had witnessed. Her guidance made all the difference.

The tour itself was great, you can't complain. Anyone who wants to take a look should definitely book a tour to get a lot of peripheral information. It is highly recommended - we found it very interesting and heartbreaking at the same time. I just thought it was a shame that our tour was brought forward to 07:45 instead of 11:30 as booked. It was just decided and we had no other option such as choosing another day or a refund.

I had an absolutely fantastic time on the London river boat ride! The views of the city from the water were breathtaking — seeing landmarks like the Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and the Houses of Parliament from this perspective felt magical. The boat was comfortable and spacious, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet exciting. The crew was friendly, professional, and full of interesting facts about the sights along the Thames. It was such a refreshing way to explore London, away from the busy streets, and I left feeling both relaxed and inspired. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

The commentator with the fact about London was very informative and had the correct mix in my opinion and my guest's opinion of a good sense of humour as well as relating facts of London historic places of interest along the River Thames. It was a really enjoyable experience.
My only criticism is that more people should be sitting down as it it obstructed at times the river view and blocked at times the view of historic places of interest.

We enjoyed the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. It was difficult to hear her at times, but there were a lot of people in these two places.
I was very very disappointed with the St. Peter's Basilica. Our guide got us to the Basilica about 11:45, into the "skip the line" section and left. There were so many people on the steps trying to get in we were crowded in together. We made it to the top of the stairs and were told the Basilica was closed for two hours. They pulled the rope to keep us out at noon. We were so disappointed because our guide didn't tell us they would be closing at noon. Very frustrating. I would have given the experience a 3 star, but the first two visits were very good.

I'd been to the Vatican and the Basilica before but appreciated the museums much more this time. That is because the guide was excellent; she was personable and very knowledgeable. She pointed out many things to look for in the paintings.
The disappointing thing is that we were not able to see St. Peter's Basilica. (My companion had never been to Rome.) A few days later we talked to someone who'd gone on a different day (I think it was also a different tour company); they commented that the Basilica was the best part of the tour.

I recommend this tour and I wish you to find a guide like ours, Antonella.... explained opera by opera.... exciting us and telling us anecdotes . If you choose the skip the line it is better because it will allow you not to stand in endless lines Under the hot sun as in beautiful July!
We visited the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica.
Inside the tour you will find a couple of fountains where you can refill your water bottles.
Comfortable shoes and shoulders covered !!! And have fun !!!
Explore all three Vatican highlights with skip-the-line access to the Museums and exclusive entry to the basilica via a hidden passage.
- Everything you get: Skip the ticketing queues and follow your expert guide through the Vatican Museums, including the Gallery of Maps, Raphael Rooms, and more. Get all the context you need before stepping into the Sistine Chapel to admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces. Enter St. Peter’s Basilica directly—skipping the 2-hour queue—through a special passageway from the Chapel.
- Why choose this: This shortcut takes you straight from the Sistine Chapel into St. Peter’s Basilica, saving you hours of waiting. With over a millennium of history, St. Peter’s is packed with must-see treasures, and your guide ensures you don’t miss the iconic rooms and hidden stories you'd likely miss on your own.
- Upgrade: Choose a semi-private tour with a small group (max 10) for a deeper, more exclusive experience across all three Vatican sites. Or start your day in a serene setting with early access—beat the crowds and reach the Dome’s summit for spectacular views.

Our tour guide Pasquale was the best. Answered all our questions and provided a ton of information. He definitely made this tour worthwhile. If you do a tour, ask for him as your guide

The guide Susanna was great, punctuality met, very helpful and knowledgeable-all excellent. In addition, we discovered an excellent Molise restaurant for breakfast and lunch, near the agency from which the tour starts and tickets are picked up.

Very good experience, Joaquina (our guide in Spanish) a success!!!! We were able to make our dream come true and the tour was more than we expected, her kindness and patience to explain everything was the top of the tour. Highly recommended. What we liked the most was not having to wait in the long lines and the complications to enter St. Peter's Basilica, since being part of the tour allows you to access everything faster!

Paulina was a star! In the heat and in the crowds she led our group through the Vatican museum, Sistine chapel and led us to St Peter's Basilica (where she did pre instruction as she cannot guide there. Our family learned a lot we would not know without the tour.

As someone with no base knowledge besides that the Vatican is the home of Catholicism. This was a great way for me to learn about all of Vatican City and the history of it. I would have been wandering around aimlessly without my tour

Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and nice. She was a great storyteller and gave great background throughout the tour in each area. The tour was good and I would recommend them. We had a very nice time on this tour and it went to all the spots we wanted. The description is accurate on what you get with the tour. I only have one suggestion - and that is during times with extreme crowds, it is important to ensure that all of the group is accounted for. My husband and I (and another girl we didn't know) were separated during the tour in a critical area to short cut into the Sistine Chapel. The group was given 15 minutes there, but because we were lost and took the long way, buy the time we got there, we were rushed and didn't get the time the rest of the group had. Please make sure to keep the group together. I do understand it is very hard because of the crowds, so this situation alone would not keep me from taking this tour with this tour group again as everything else in the tour was great.

We didn't have a clear understanding of where to meet. Head out and our tour guide did everything to find us and ensure we weren't left out. The tour is breathtaking and unforgettable. This may be the best tour we've taken in any city,any where.

The audio thing does not work good. I had difficulty about hearing. The guide is good and I thing very necessary. Before getting tickets be sure to read all of the information about tour, what you need to and do not need to do. Very crowdy so be ready to this

The tour was great. The tour guide was amazing and really knowledgeable. The price was worth it for skipping the ques for the Vatican Museums alone as they were hours long and we bypassed them all and walked in straightaway. The only reason I gave it good rather than awesome was because of the amount of people allowed into the museums itself. This isn't the fault of the tour guide obviously but it meant the experience was less enjoyable in the 30 degree heat because there simply were too many people

Our guide, Vincenzo, was wonderful. Very funny and knowledgeable. I don't think you can enjoy touring the Vatican without a guide and skip the line. 100% worth it!

Our guide Maria Theresa was amazing! She was very knowledgeable in aspects of the tour. She went out of her way to make sure that the whole group of 17 was taken care of. She had her eyes on everyone throughout and wouldn't let anyone get left behind. With the crowds and other tour croups pushing through she did an exceptional job of communicating with us to keep us together. She gave everyone a potty break in the middle if we needed it. I would highly recommend this tour guide and the company as they all are professionals.

The crowds were very heavy for the jubilee but our guide was wonderful in directing us and keeping us focused on the important details on the museum and Basilica!

The tour guide was very well organized, punctual, very entertaining and in addition to his technical and historical knowledge also liked to have a humorous joke along the way. The group was very pleasant with 10 people, it always moved quickly so that we could see everything and also ask what we wanted from this tour. Thank you very much. We are very happy to recommend this tour.

Everything that was mentioned in the tour we saw. Our guide Olga explained so much to the in-depth knowledge & history of The Vatican & sacred places. The crowds were overwhelming but Olga was able to guide us safely to the best vantage points

Very complete visit, the meeting point very easy to locate. I would have liked to have been able to enjoy a little more of the Sistine Chapel, but there were many people and we passed quickly. Otherwise everything was great !!!!
