  • The site of Herculaneum is vast and also very exposed with minimal shade, so it is recommended to use a sunscreen and to wear a hat.
  • Make sure to take plenty of water.

Our own personal archaeologist - We did the private tour of Herculaneum and Vesuvius. Our archaeologist guide at Herculaneum was amazing! Luciano was positively bursting with enthusiasm and information. We learned so much from him! Our driver Francesco did an excellent job of navigating small streets and difficult terrain while also pointing out the sites. Great tour!

Herculaneum private tour with an brilliant Archaeologist - Best tour of my life - I had the most passionate, funny and very knowledgeable guide ever. Herculaneum is full of history and well-preserved ruins that are standing for more than 2000 years. Is a very rich place full of details and important historical elements that make you travel in time. Our guide makes 2h tour flight by so fast. He was one of the most passionate guides I ever had with strong knowledge about the place and it was engaging with the group every single minute. He makes us feel there!!! I´ve learned so much with him! Definitely a very worth it tour with him!!
