The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Herculaneum is one of the most dramatic relics of ancient Roman civilisation. This small group tour gives you up-close looks at excavated luxury villas with priceless frescoes and mosaics. Giuseppe, one of our local guides, says ‘Herculaneum is so well-preserved that all that’s missing are the Romans interacting in the spaces you see. You’ll learn about the hobbies, work and diets of the tunic-wearing citizens.’ Gaze over the seaside town before you descend the entrance tunnel and admire how original roofs, balconies, steps and floors are still intact today. Admire the famous mosaic and fountain room at the House of Neptune and Amphitrite. See how the wealthy lived at lavish waterfront villas decorated with frescoes and marble plaques. As you visit the gymnasium, basilica and baths – adorned with dolphin mosaics and funky geometric tiles – your guide will animate these places with stories of Romans going about their day-to-day lives.

We had a small group tour of Herculaneum in May with our guide Dario Romeo. It was a boiling hot day but what an interesting 1/2 day this was. Dario is a font of knowledge & made the tour informative with lots of interesting facts but not boring! We would certainly recommend him to anyone interested in the ruins & lifestyle of period

Our tour guide Nina was brilliant. Explained everything and pointed out all the detail which we might have missed, all of us including the children were amazed at Herculaneum.
