About this experience

On this tour, you will explore Herculaneum, starting at the House of the Wooden Partition, which features a rare intact wooden screen. You will visit the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, where you can see private baths and impressive glass-paste wall mosaics. The tour continues to the Urban Baths, showcasing Roman engineering with its hypocaust heating system in the calidarium, tepidarium, and frigidarium. You'll also visit the House of the Deer and House of the Bicentenary, both adorned with vibrant frescoes and spacious courtyards. The tour concludes at the ancient beachfront boathouses (Fornici), where residents sought refuge during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, highlighting the poignant history of that event. This experience is suitable for those interested in archaeology and history. You can choose to have a pick-up in Naples for convenience, traveling in air-conditioned vehicles, or meet your guide directly in Herculaneum, but be aware that transportation is not included if you opt for the latter.
