Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
Choose to relive the history of the elegant city of Herculaneum with our Guide expert in archaeology!
The tour begins with a panoramic view of the entire archaeological park.
Entering the city everything will be a step back in time, among refined details of Roman dwellings, shops and spas.
The more than 20 meters of volcanic material have preserved in a sensational way the charred wood of doors, windows, beams, beds.
We will reach the ancient beach, where about 300 fleeing people died and whose skeletons we see today.
This tour is particularly suitable for those who want to have a quick overview of a well-preserved Roman city, for those with mobility difficulties, for families and for lovers of Roman antiquities.

What To Expect
Parco Acheologico Di Ercolano
Excavations have unearthed only part of the ancient city, so much of the ancient Herculaneum still remains buried underground. Currently, most of the archaeological park that can be visited is made up of private homes of the imperial age of different types. Entrance ticket to the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum (16€ - free under 18 with document)
Terme Del Foro
The typical Roman thermal system of Herculaneum is very well preserved and allows us to see the gym, the changing room and the rooms intended for warm and warm baths.

Wheelchair Tourist - Herculaneum

5.00Martina provided a wealth of knowledge of Herculaneum and the individual building's stories. She expertly guided us thru the maze that is the wheelchair friendly route and was kind enough to guide us out when our ride came. I would definitely recommend a private tour as you can get your questions answered and point out details you will miss on your own. As a wheelchair user I just want to point out that while most of Herculaneum is accessible, it does require some upper body strength. Also, when we went the train station wasnt accessible so we had to take a cab from Naples to the site and back. It cost us 180 Euros, which isnt cheap by any means but we'll worth it to see the site!
Why this worked for us…

5.00It is well worth it having a small group, ie no more than three people. You tend to ask more questions of your personal guide. The tour was fantastic, so informative and carried out in a relaxed manner. Martina was an expert and we had the most perfect tour.
Outstanding Guide, Well-Worthwhile!

5.00Carmine is a great guide. He does an excellent job explaining Herculaneum and contrasting it with Pompeii. He is friendly, well spoken, and personable. He was also very helpful coordinating with the driver we had arranged for pickup after the tour. Thanks!
Worth it!
