Overview

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.

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!

5.00We loved our tour of the Herculaneum! Our tour guide, Annalisa made everything extremely interesting - skipping the mundane things and focusing on the places she knew we would find more exciting. She was very informative, super nice, and extremely patient with us and all our questions. lol We all had a great time! Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Francesca was our guide for this tour. She was very well versed in the history of the Herculaneum. She also spoke English very well which was a big plus. Would recommend her any time.

5.00--We only had one day, so chose Herculaneum over Pompeii and we were glad we did! --For transportation to the site: it was easy to take a taxi from Napoli to the site and the taxi driver gave us his number, so we could call him when we were ready to return. He was very nice and professional and a very safe driver. Our tour guide stayed with us until he was sure we had transportation back, which was very appreciated --The site takes a couple of hours to tour; the tour guide did a very nice job of showing us the area while providing lots of interesting information. The site is well-excavated. There is a tiny museum as well that we quickly strolled through, which was interesting. --There were a couple of bathrooms that did not require tipping, but bring your own toilet paper. --Our guide was super enthusiastic and knowledgable, which made the whole experience wonderful. This was one of the best tours of our trip.
