Points forts
  • This morning visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Herculaneum gives a peek into ancient Rome
  • It's a two-hour guided tour through this once affluent seaside town that was favoured by the rich
  • The volcanic mud from the eruption has fossilised and preserved much of the archaeological site
  • You'll see details like furniture, mosaics and sculptures in Roman homes from over 2,000 years ago
  • Your local guide knows Herculaneum's archaeological site like the back of their hand
Ce qui vous attend

Like nearby Pompeii, ancient Herculaneum suffered a similar fate at the hands of Vesuvius erupting in 79AD. Fortunately, archaeologists have managed to excavate parts of the city, and this half-day tour will show you what they've managed to unearth so far.

Fossilised in time by the volcanic rock that tragically buried the city, wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. This bite-size tour will take you to and from the site in just one morning, with enough time to explore the historical relics on a guided walk.

You'll even see preserved pieces of furniture, upper wooden floors of houses, mosaics on the floor and sculptures as you take a peek around the houses and streets. All this has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and provides you with an unrivalled insight into life of the ancient Romans.

    We enjoyed the tour and the guide was very good. The only issue was that the meeting point instructions could have been clearer. It says to meet at the info point but there was no info point when we went to look the evening before or on the day. It should say to meet at the meeting point by the sign. It was confusing.

    The guide Franchescha was fantastic, her English was brilliant and her knowledge of both Pompeii and Herculaneum was very informative! We just wished that we’d had a bit more free time to visit the museum and gift shop for longer.

    Unfortunately it was our guide’s last day before retiring. He was very helpful and friendly. We covered almost all the sites, but it would have been nice to have maybe an hour to walk around afterwards. However, a very good tour.
