Pretty famous at the time, as historians have preserved into their reports, the small city of Herculaneum, settled at the Volcano Vesuvius slopes, had been buried during the Vulcanic burst dated 79 A.C.
Despite the centuries and the new urban settlements, 2000 years after that awful disaster you have the chance to move around the city and walk on the original stoned pavements.
The private guide will show you the highlights of the Roman city while listening in details to our ancestors’ customs and traditions. Among the must see of the site, your will visit the "Palestra" (gym) and the houses whose walls are decorated with spectacular frescoes such as Casa di Nettuno e Anfritrite, Casa dello Scheletro, Casa dell'Alcova e Casa del salone nero.
Skip the line and join our guides in this amazing 2.5 hours private walk into one of the most famous archaeological sites of the Campania region.

Booked online with Askos tours. Friendly, extremely passionate guide. Clearly proud to show people round. Great knowledge and keen to make the children in the tour group feel included. Two hours was perfect amount of time and thanks to the guide we really felt like we’d come away understanding life In Herculaneum. Would recommend!

Stunning. So much more meaningful than Pompeii, where many of its artifacts are in the museum in Naples. Two storey houses, colourful mosaics and a real sense of history. The beach and skeletons found there were jaw dropping.
