Choose to relive the history of the elegant city of Herculaneum with our expert guide!
Here you will admire ancient artifacts from over 2000 years ago almost intact, which differentiate this site from Pompeii, making it a unique and unmissable experience!
The tour begins with an overall panoramic view of the entire archaeological park.
We will pass through a tunnel dug in about 20/25 meters of volcanic materials to reach the ancient beach of Herculaneum, where about 300 people on the run found death and whose skeletons we see today.
Upon entering the city, everything will be a step back into the past, among refined details of Roman houses, shops and spas.

Francesca 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.

--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.

This tour was well worth it! We only had a short time to see the site and our tour guide made sure we saw all of the important things and gave us so much useful information. We never would’ve gotten as much out of the site without a tour guide.

Wonderful experience in Herculaneum. Our guide Ernesto was great and was patient with our family as we had two strollers to navigate. Herculaneum is a must see. Much more intact then Pompeii with smaller crowds.

Great experience, Carmine took the time to really immerse into the Roman world at the time of the explosion. Also did a great job tying Pompeii, Herculaneum and the empire during the explosion. Book, even just on a day at port like we were.

Our tour with Carmine was great. He sent a message before the tour to confirm the meeting place and was extremely knowledgeable about not only Herculaneum but explained how the town and circumstances were different to Pompeii, putting everything into context. He brought the human stories of Herculaneum to life and helped us imagine how people lived there. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and especially the water spray he brought to cool us down along the way! Our whole family would recommend a tour with Carmine, including our teenage boys.

We had a private morning tour of Herculaneum with Martina a few weeks ago with my husband and two teenagers (14 & 15). We were really excited for this tour after seeing a documentary about Herculaneum on TV recently. This tour and experience really exceeded our expectation. Martina was a fabulous guide and showed us all the most interesting sites of the ancient remains. She had a great personality and knowledge of the history of the area, while still being fun and relatable to my kids. This tour is highly recommended and Herculaneum should not be missed. I think I enjoyed it better than Pompeii!
