Full description
Meet your private guide at Herculaneum for a 2-hour guided tour of the archeological site. Herculaneum was located closer to Vesuvius than Pompeii, and was buried deeper by the lava, which better preserved the architecture. Admire the colorful murals and other artwork of the homes of wealthy nobles, which are reminders that Herculaneum was also richer than Pompeii. Learn about ancient Roman culture as your guide utilizes the ruins to paint a vivid picture of life during that time. Bring the whole family on this private tour, as its flexible structure makes it ideal for families with children.

We very much enjoyed our 2hr tour of Herculaneum. Our tour guide Daniela has been giving tours ranging from 2hrs to full days of both Herculaneum and Pompeii for 23 years and had endless knowledge about the past, present, and future of Herculaneum. She brought an iPad with her that was especially helpful for some visualizations of what buildings we stopped in would have looked like back in the 1st century AD. All-in-all, my girlfriend and I have a high bar for cultural tours like this, but the two hours went by too quickly and we very much enjoyed it all. We would highly recommend Daniela and Herculaneum, and the service that set us up.

Teresa who is a PHD student of archeological studies spent 2 hrs with taxation Herculaneum. She was so informative. We learned so much. The best way to see the place and not waste any time trying to figure it out in your own. Super hot day but she held our interest so that we ignored the extreme heat. I would highly recommend her to everyone.!

This tour was great! There was so much information we wouldn't have obtained on our own! It was informative; the guide spoke clearly and was able to explain the concepts well. We had our 15 and 13 year old daughters with us. They are not interested in history but they both found this tour engaging and informative. Such a great location with so many interesting stories. So happy we took the tour and be exposed to them!
