Herculaneum: 2 hours Guided Tour + Entrance Ticket
Description
Join an unforgettable 2-hour guided tour through ancient Herculaneum, a remarkably well-preserved archaeological treasure. Here, every street, fresco, and doorway reveals the authentic rhythm of Roman daily life.
Buried by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and sealed under a protective blanket of pyroclastic material, Herculaneum miraculously preserved its houses, wooden structures, furniture, upper floors, and everyday objects. Walking through its narrow streets feels like stepping directly into the past—a vivid and immersive journey through history.
Your expert guide will lead you through the site’s most iconic areas: elegant frescoed villas, beautifully preserved bath complexes, ancient workshops, storerooms, and more. With engaging and insightful storytelling, you’ll uncover fascinating facts, touching stories, and hidden details that bring Herculaneum back to life.
This is a group tour and includes your entrance ticket, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience from start to finish.
Get ready for a moving journey into a city frozen in time, in the shadow of the mighty Mount Vesuvius.
