Overview

Herculaneum is one of Italy best-preserved ancient attractions—and some people argue, even more impressive than Pompeii. But without a guide to tell you the stories behind the buildings, mosaics, and artifacts, it can be hard to grasp the significance of the site. On this shared tour, listen to stories of daily life in this former Roman town, and learn about the impact of Mount Vesuvius’ eruption.

Great tour with an expert guide.

Our guide Giovanni was great. He was humorous, took our questions and really knows the subject. We saw the best of the site with an expert guide. He made sure that we all departed safely at the end of tje tour as well! This is a must do!

Enjoyable tour

We had our tour with Giovanni who was very good and explained things very well. He took us to the main attractions which were interesting. He was very nice and friendly and answered questions that anyone had. Would recommend this tour.

Our trip was delayed one...

Our trip was delayed one hour .we tried to call Marlu but her phone did not answer, When we got to the ticket office, they knew who we were and again tried to contact the guide. At least she should have left our tickets at the ticket booth so we did not have to pay again. She made no attempt to contact us.
