This ancient town is the site of excavated ruins that provide a rare glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Roman Empire.

The Herculaneum Walking Tour is a fascinating glimpse into life during the Roman Empire. A World Heritage Site, this has to be on your list of “must sees.”

Awaken your inner archaeologist.

Like Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried beneath 60 feet of ash when Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. A bit wealthier and smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum was a hub of activity in ancient times.

From the baths to the amphitheatre, life was luxurious by the Bay of Naples. Adorned with colourful frescoes and mosaics, the villas of Herculaneum boast opulence and style.

Sights of interest include the House of the Mosaic Atrium, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, and the House of the Deer. Also included in the itinerary, are visits to the Decumanus, the Palestra, the Basilica, and the Thermal Baths of the Forum.

When the town of Herculaneum was overwhelmed by volcanic debris, an airtight seal formed around the town that carbonised wood items and preserved them intact. You’ll be amazed when you see chairs and ceiling beams of original wood, as they looked that fateful day.

An expert local guide will conduct your tour in English. You’ll learn and have fun with your group as you take in the sights of ancient Herculaneum and modern Ercolano.

You are advised to wear comfortable shoes to walk over the original cobblestoned streets. Pack a sun hat or umbrella for summer afternoons, when the temperature can reach 100º f.
