We will walk at your own pace and I will make sure that everyone in your group understands what he is looking at. We will stay away from crowds as much as possible. The itinerary is flexible and I shall adapt to your will and needs. 180 minutes

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano, Ercolano, Italy The Ancient Roman city of Herculaneum was buried by Mount Vesuvius 2000 years ago and it came back to light during the last century. We will admire stunning views of the Volcano and of the Bay of Naples. We will learn what happened during that terrific eruption. We will visit ancient houses, Bath-Houses, little shops, taverns. We will enter the daily life of the average Roman. We will admire incredible frescoes and mosaics. We will be awe-stricken by the dreadful skeletons!
We will walk approximately two hours to discover the archaeological park and the little museum. Herculaneum is more compact than Pompeii, better preserved, and easier to visit.

Our guide Fabrizio was an incredible guide for the ruins. He was very knowledgeable and presented information in fun and interesting ways, which was incredibly helpful since we had our children (10 and 8yr) with us.

Fabrizio was fantastic, personable and incredibly informed. He gave us personalized guidance for our tour based on our preferances. He answered our questions that ranged from topics of the daily life of Pompei society so many years ago to current reccomendations. The van was extremely comfortable and stocked woth water. We could have requested more or less walking, but we went with Fabrizio's suggestion which was 3 hours, nearly 3 miles, on Pompei. Then a relaxing and filling lunch at a winery to recharge. Finally, 2 hours in Herculaneum for another 2 miles of touring. Pack accordingly, but Fabrizio is absolutely the best way to tour these spots.

This tour was so wonderful from beginning to end. Fabrizio was the best guide who we could have ever imagined. He is such a brilliant archeologist with such a wealth of knowledge about the history of Pompeii and Herculean that it’s simply mind blowing. To do a tour with such an esteemed archeologist is such an honor in itself.
Fabrizio was very kind, personable and very fun and interesting. He was so kind to help me numerous times when I had difficulty walking on the uneven stones in Pompeii.
For lunch, we went to the most beautiful restaurant called Catina del Vesuvio. Fabrizio had made reservations in advance for us. We enjoyed a tour of the vineyards, winery, and did wine tasting. The wine was really the best, and the food was the best that we had eaten on the entire trip, and we ate in numerous restaurants while visiting Rome and Venice.
The restaurant is in such a beautiful location with a view of Vesuvius behind and the Amalfi Coast in front.
We went to Herculean as the last part of the tour. Beautiful well preserved homes and mosaics. Fabrizio gave us the most incredible day touring Herculean as well as Pompeii. We learned so much.
Two of my adult children were on the tour also. They enjoyed every second, and were extremely impressed with Fabrizio’s knowledge and professionalism.
Please don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s worth every cent. We highly recommend Fabrizio.
