Herculaneum (along with Pompeii) is not to be missed. - We were fortunate to discover Pompeiify, a local tour company with extremely knowledgeable guides. Francesca led our tour of Herculaneum and Francesco took us around Pompeii. Both tours were exceptional with in-depth knowledge from university graduates. We were able to imagine AD79 from this. Both sites are breathtaking in the excavations and restoration that has taken place over many years. We highly recommend both.

Great visit to Herculaneum! Thank you. - Our experience with Francesca was first rate. We saw all the major sites in Herculaneum, and learned so much about how life was lived before the eruption of Vesuvius. The entirety of the site is amazing, and worth visiting along with Pompeii. It’s not an either/or thing (unless you really have no time) Visiting both places gives you a much richer understanding of ancient life in the is part of the world.
