This morning visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Herculaneum gives a peek into ancient Rome
It's a two-hour guided tour through this once affluent seaside town that was favoured by the rich
The volcanic mud from the eruption has fossilised and preserved much of the archaeological site
You'll see details like furniture, mosaics and sculptures in Roman homes from over 2,000 years ago
Your local guide knows Herculaneum's archaeological site like the back of their hand

O que esperar

Like nearby Pompeii, ancient Herculaneum suffered a similar fate at the hands of Vesuvius erupting in 79AD. Fortunately, archaeologists have managed to excavate parts of the city, and this half-day tour will show you what they've managed to unearth so far.Fossilised in time by the volcanic rock that tragically buried the city, wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. This bite-size tour will take you to and from the site in just one morning, with enough time to explore the historical relics on a guided walk.You'll even see preserved pieces of furniture, upper wooden floors of houses, mosaics on the floor and sculptures as you take a peek around the houses and streets. All this has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and provides you with an unrivalled insight into life of the ancient Romans.

The guide Lorenzo was very good and knowledgeable. One thing that would have made it better was more free time at the end of the tour. So a 2 hour tour then an hour's free time. This would give u a chance to maybe see a bit more of Herculaneum, nip into the museum and go to the gift shop etc.

Great and very informative guide . Very knowledgeable of the site. She gave a rest break before the tour started and those who stayed at the meeting point had a goid chat with her . Coach park very close to entrance . Bot to much walking. Busy in places as groups met on the narrow streets and entrances to buildings/rooms. Great experience and so different to Pompeii site.

Herculaneum was brilliant but the "half day" tour ended up being actually only 1 Hour 20 minutes from entering via the footbridge to returning to the exit giving insufficient time to take in all the historic interests. A minimum of 2 hours is needed to see everything properly, not 20 minutes before and after for toilet breaks leaving 1 hour 20 mins only viewing the site. The P.A. system on the coach didn't work properly either and the driver couldn't work out how to set the air conditioning.

This felt so rushed. We broke away from the guide a lot as we were walking past some beautiful locations without going in. We saw so much more on our own. The feeling from most of the group was the same. She had some great facts for us but spoke about herself a lot asking us to guess her age. She wasn’t very engaging, which was a shame as all of the other guides have been great. Overall, more time would be good as if we stuck with the guide, we wouldn’t have seen much at all.

The actual tour of Herculanium was absolutely amazing, it’s an incredible, fascinating place and well worth going to and our tour guide was excellent. Only down side was it was a really long pick up, our hotel was the first pick up and there were loads more pick ups after so the whole process was nearly an hour and a half before we could actually get on the road to Herculanium. Perhaps it would have been better to do it in 2 smaller groups so that didn’t take so long.

We enjoyed the tour and the guide was very good. The only issue was that the meeting point instructions could have been clearer. It says to meet at the info point but there was no info point when we went to look the evening before or on the day. It should say to meet at the meeting point by the sign. It was confusing.

Your guide was more interested in getting the job over with, and zoom around the ruins as quick as she could missing chucks out of the experience. The tour at the pick up point started, but descended into a 2 hour tour by coach of Sorrento because due pick ups from different hotels like was on the way back. The promised time of 45 min was cut short to 10min after a phone call asking where she was from the Pompeii site. Less than 90 minutes on site, not good enough. Big let down.

The tour was too full so the tour was split between guide and local guide. We were with the local guide. We left the tour. Heavily accented commentary too hard to understand thro the audio loop. Yabber yabber about football and rock bands all magnified through the audio loop. It ruined a lifelong dream to visit for me to visit. Cancelled the tour to Pompeii & Vesuvius we had also booked. Huge disappointment.

Great driver and guide. The guide was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The information given was just at the right level to appreciate the site. The day was very hot but was tolerable so the tour length was just right. We appreciated the early start to avoid the heat of the day. The last part of the trip was to the ‘beach’ and although we knew what was there perhaps more focus should be given to the respect of that particular area of the site.. Excellent tour.

Our guide Fabianna added so much more to this excursion. Herculaneum is a must see visit to gain even more perspective of Roman life than visiting Pompeii alone. Yes it was hot (September) and tiring, but definitely worth the experience. The coaches are comfortable and there are some stunning views. We did this excursion and Pompeii on separate days. It would not have been enjoyable all on one day. You may consider it expensive, but the ongoing conservation is essential for generations to come.

De gids Eugenio heeft zijn groep goed begeleid. De uitleg ter plaatse was heel correct en boeiend gebracht. Er waren echter 2 mensen een half uur te laat op het uur van vertrek. Dit was niet de schuld van Eugenio en hij zat hiermee heel erg verveeld. Enkele mensen van onze bus moesten op de site mee met een andere groep, en zij waren te laat terug aan de bus. Ik had zo medelijden met Eugenio… top uitstap, wel duur via Tui als je ziet dat de ingang particulier 16€ kost.

After an excellent Pompeii and Vesuvius tour, we decided that we really should see Herculaneum. Sadly, it wasn’t quite so good. More than an hour after being collected from our hotel, we were still trundling around Sorrento, picking people up (later explained by our hotel rep as ‘TUI’s environmental policy’). Throughout the journey our guide pointed out all manner obvious things. Think junior school trip. At Herculaneum the tour was reasonably interesting. Perhaps we should have taken the train?

The guided tour was really good; informative and interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable of both Herculaneum and the region around Naples and Sorrento. I would have liked more time after the tour in the museum as it has a huge around of artefacts from the site which give an insight into the society at the time. The downside to the tour was the bus journey time, partly due to the number of pick-ups in Sorrento, which restricted the amount of time in Herculaneum itself.
