This tour will take you to the world’s best preserved roman city.

It is Herculaneum, a rich city of merchants and nobility, whose life ended dramatically fast. Here you’ll see the waterfront where more than 300 remains of people trying to escape by sea were found, the Samnite house, the thermal baths, the Temple of the Augustales, the forum, the house of Neptune and Amphitrite, the Gymnasium, the house of the wooden partition and much more.

You will get an intense experience: you can see not only stone, marble and ceramics left, but also carbonized wood and even more exquisite paintings and mosaics than in Pompei.
Herculaneum was destroyed by a much more powerful force which instantly burnt all wood and buried the city under a thick layer which didn’t let the air go through and cause decay.

"Herculaneum tour with an Archeologist "

Today we went on the 2 hour tour of Herculaneum with the wonderful archeologist Luciano Leone. Luciano’s passion for his work and incredible knowledge made this trip very enjoyable. His insight meant we could step back in time and immerse ourselves in this 2000 year old world. I highly recommend taking a tour lead by an archaeologist, they are the experts and you will walk away knowing so much more than if you walk around yourself. Thank you Luciano!

"excellent - a lot of info, engaging guide"

Luciano Leone gave us an excellent tour - he is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate. There is so much to see, and it was well worth it to go with a guide who could share his knowledge and also answer our many questions. I only wish we had had the energy after the tour finished to spend more time, looking around slowly by ourselves and to also spend time in the on-site museum.
