  • Everyone working made it very enjoyable and everything was super well organised!

  • I went on one of the scariest rollercoasters in the world. It was awesome.

  • Leider nur das expresspass Ticket erhalten und nicht das Ticket zum betreten der Universal Studios, erst nachdem mir der Eintritt verweigert wurde und ich mit dem support geschrieben habe, kam das Ticket etwa 50min später an. Da ich mir aber nicht sicher war ob es überhaupt funktioniert, habe ich mir bis dahin über eine andere seite ein Tagespass gekauft um die schlange nicht weiter zu blockieren. Im Endeffekt hat der support aber funktioniert und ich habe das Ticket (auch wenn mit Verspätung) erhalten. Aus diesem Grund 3 Sterne. Hätte ich nach Kauf direkt beide Tickets erhalten, wären es 5 Sterne.

  • Employees were very friendly and welcoming. :)

  • The package was to good to Miss out on. Covered pretty much everything with minimal waiting times. Universal Studios is a great day out whether with family or by yourself. Get attractions and so much to do. Loved the Harry Potter area and most of all the Jarassic Park area, the rides are insane.

  • Incredible experience highly recommend! The express pass was totally worth the extra pay and made our day very convenient.

  • It was okay. Not all the rides are made for bigger dudes. I paid for the express pass to the Hollywood ride and wasn't able to ride. All in all it was a nice theme park but regrettably their hours weren't updated on google so we went late thinking they close at 10 pm. They closed at 7.

  • Todo bien con los tickets , corresponden a lo comprado pero lo único que no entendí es porque me pusieron para las atracciones que pagué como Nintendo world, yoshi adventure el horario más tarde a las 8pm o 9pm cuando el parque cierra a las 10 pm , tuve que esperar hasta esa hora para entrar a Nintendo world y las otras atracciones obviamente no es lo mismo de noche que de día y eso me decepcionó , el parque tiene muchas tiendas de shopping y para comer muchas cosas, tiene más tiendas que juegos realmente y eso también me dejó como decepcionada, pero el parque en general es muy bonito y es súper realista las construcciones , entonces si vale la pena conocerlo una vez

  • Headout made our Universal Studios Japan visit much easier. The booking process was simple, the tickets were delivered without issues, and using the Express Pass helped us avoid long waits. I rated it 4 stars because a bit more guidance before arrival would have improved the experience, but overall I was very satisfied.

  • Fun exprerience! Flying dragon was amazing, and the jaws boat ride was suprisingly good. On the other side : there were too long quoes all over, so it would be impossible to be there without express passes. Harry potter ride was dissapointing, but the visuals there was great.
