    Tour Details

    Full Description

    Join on a fascinating half-day tour through Herculaneum, the second most famous city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Buried under layers of ash and mud, the city’s well-preserved buildings offer a rare chance to step into the past.

    We’ll begin at the ancient beach, where incredible homes have remained intact for centuries beneath 30 feet of volcanic debris. From there, we’ll explore the House of the Skeleton, the Thermopolium, and the stunning mosaics in the Public Baths, revealing the daily life and social customs of the Romans.

    Next, we’ll visit the Decumanus, the main street, with stops at the Winemaker’s Shop, the House of Poseidon and Anfitrite, the Palestra, and the Sacred Area with its key temples.
    Finally, we’ll explore the House of the Opus Craticium, a symbol of Roman architecture, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity of the builders.

      Even though Herculaneum is less known than Pompeii, we found it just as beautiful (and less crowded too!). We did this tour with Angela and had a lovely experience. She really knew everything about Herculaneum and was also very friendly. Highly recommended!
