Was easy to get around and skipping the line always makes for a quicker entrance. We probably could have used for more attractions but were very happy with what we did. Thought funicular was discounted but wasn't but was only a few €.
It was easy to arrange and collect the tickets and everything was doable in the time wee needed. HOWEVER, the arena was closed and this was not readily made known whcih was a shame and may have affected our purchase (we would have rated it 'awesome' if it had more up to date information about what you were getting included in your ticket.
Had to redeem ticket from another office not the venue.
Well you could have had dates which were actually available to book rather than hitting me for 58 euros only to find out the venue was closed which was really poor. I'll be leaving a review on socials to warn everyone about your poor company service
Sorry but I didn't get to experience any of the venues as I misplaced my ticket, I guess it fell out of my pocket when I was getting the map out. The chatbot I'm afraid was useless. Just kept going round and round in circles. So I called Headout and spoke with Brian who initially was very helpful and sent through the email again for me to get another ticket. Verona tourist info staff were excellent and very helpful, they explained Headout would need to cancel original booking in order to give me a new reference number and therefore enable me get a replacement ticket. I explained this to Brian on an email, several times that day, but unfortunately got no more response. I usually use Viator and I'm afraid I probably won't use Headout again. Nor recommend them. Sorry. I worked in travel for 20 years and it wasn't Headouts fault that I lost my ticket but the situation could have been easily rectified. I look forward to your response. Kind regards , Claire Weightman
I did NOT use my purchase/ticket. As I made the purchase it was not clear I had to go away from the venue to obtain my ticket. I was under the impression that I could enter the Arena in Verona right at the entrance. I made my purchase minutes before wanting to enter. Therefore I did not even use this purchase and lost my money.
I purchased a ticket to the Verona Arena, but the Arena is closed for restoration you should have notified me before purchase

Simple to use and, above all, very cost-effective. I wanted to see a lot of things, and if I had paid for the tickets individually I would have spent a lot more money! I highly recommend buying it, especially if you're staying overnight in the city.

Getting the passes was fast and efficient. Entering the tourist attractions was also fast and efficient.
Beautiful city, easy access to all the attractions we went to and bus travel also was a positive experience. I'd highly recommend the verona card.
One day card is enough. Concluding scenic spots and public transportation. Need to get the paper card, so why not buy it in the Tourist Information?
The convenience of having one card that I could display every time I wanted to visit a museum, maybe I would have liked a few more museums or gardens that I could visit and maybe I would have lifted the euro cost of the elevator to the tower but overall it was a great purchase
