Full Description

Meet your private guide and join a 2-hour tour of the archaeological excavations of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii and was therefore covered almost entirely with lava. This has allowed the architecture and artistic heritage of the town to be better preserved. Admire splendid wall paintings and other masterpieces preserved in the homes of wealthy nobles, evidence that Herculaneum was even wealthier than Pompeii. Discover new details about Roman culture as your guide uses the ruins of the city to bring to light the vibrant life of times gone by. Join a tour for the whole family, also suitable for children as the activity is well organised and flexible.
