About this activity

Explore ancient Herculaneum with a knowledgeable guide on this 2-hour private tour. Step back in time 2,000 years and get immersed in a Roman town buried beneath nearly 60 feet of volcanic debris. Discover ancient houses, shops, taverns, bathhouses, wooden furniture and more, preserved in stunning detail. Expect to see vibrant frescoes, mosaics, and stories of daily life frozen at the moment of the eruption.

Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii, but far better preserved and easier to visit, making it ideal for families and curious travelers. With a private guide, the experience is tailored to your pace, and you’re free to ask as many questions as you like. Optional services such as hotel pickup or a post-tour vineyard lunch on the slopes of Vesuvius can be added to enhance the experience.

A memorable journey through the ancient world brought vividly back to life.
