What to expect

After a prolonged dormancy, Vesuvius awoke on August 24, 79 AD, unleashing an apocalyptic eruption that obliterated the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Discovered in the 18th century, Herculaneum has since become one of the world's most renowned archaeological sites. Embarking on a tour of Herculaneum from Naples promises an unforgettable experience.

Presently, Herculaneum showcases numerous landmarks, including the House with the Mosaic Atrium, the House of the Deer, the Thermal Spas of the Forum, and the House of the Mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite, among others, all worthy of exploration.

Smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum can be thoroughly explored in just an hour and a half. This comprehensive 3-hour tour includes round-trip transportation from Naples and informative English commentary.

As you traverse the streets of Herculaneum, you not only gain a unique insight into the Romans' private lives but also feel the panic that gripped the inhabitants during the volcanic eruption. It's akin to stepping into a time machine, walking amidst the historical buildings of the ancient Roman town buried by the ashes of Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption in 79 AD.

Don't pass up the chance to visit Herculaneum from Naples, once the favored destination of affluent Romans and the inaugural archaeological site unearthed in the Vesuvian region.
