Herculaneum Small Group Tour With an Archaeologist

4.9/5
40 reviews

This tour will take you to Herculaneum, the world's best-preserved Roman city, once a rich city of merchants and nobility, whose life ended dramatically fast.

Here you'll see the waterfront where more than 300 remains of people trying to escape by sea were found, the Samnite house, the thermal baths, the Temple of the Augustales, the forum, the house of Neptune and Amphitrite, the Gymnasium, the house of the wooden partition and much more.

You won't only see the stone, marble and ceramics left, but also carbonized wood and even more exquisite paintings and mosaics than in Pompeii.

    An excellent guide who explained the history of the site and knew the hidden details were would have missed. The 2 hours went quickly but we stayed on afterwards so see the whole site including the 'ugly' museum. Highly recommended

    Tutto come da sito. La visita è stata splendida, con un'archeologa molto competente e coinvolgente (grazie mille, Laura!). Il gruppo era effettivamente piccolo; ciononostante, siamo stati dotati di auricolari per poter sentire bene tutte le spiegazioni. Assolutamente consigliata.

    This was a fantastic tour! Marilyn was incredibly knowledgeable and gave a detailed account of the history of Herculaneum, which was fascinating. Very enjoyable and I would highly recommend this tour.
