About this experience

Experience a guided exploration of the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This tour is suitable for history enthusiasts and those interested in archaeology. It may not be ideal for families with very young children or individuals with mobility issues due to the site’s terrain. The tour includes insights from an Archaeologist who will provide detailed information about the site’s well-preserved structures, such as marble decorations, wall paintings, and mosaic floors, as well as everyday objects from Roman life. It is important to note that this is a private tour, so group sizes may vary, and it is advisable to check the specific arrangements before booking.
