Very Worthwhile Tour of Herculeneum - Amedeo gave our family of four a wonderful tour of Herculeneum, far more engaging than an audio guide -- especially for our 14 and 11 year old boys. His mastery of and passion for the material was evident throughout, especially during our ongoing Q&A. The site itself is incredible in many ways and well worth an excursion from nearby hubs. (In our case, Rome.)

Private tour of Herculaneum - Amedeo was my guide, and he was helpful and very nice. This was an amazing experience, and there were a lot of different things to see. There were mosaics, carbonated wood, part of a boat, and even ancient advertisements. Having a private tour was helpful, as I could ask a lot of questions, but a non-private tour would also be fine.

Mariagrazia is an amazing archaeologist, tour guide and teacher - brought Herculeneum to life in a fascunating way! - Sandretti Tours, selected Mariagrazia as the guide for the afternoon's visit to Herculeneum. What a thoughtful, intelligent, naturally curious and knowledgable professional archeaologist she is to vividly bring life back into Herculeneum in a vivacious manner. Her research and teaching makes her a patient guide who explored geography, engineering, seismology, ancient belief systems, politics, history, science, the built environment, interior design, trades and crafts, social culture and familial connections. An awsome polymath who could be placed on any dig and make new discoveries or gain new insights others might miss. Maria cited fascinating evidence, both local and from the research she continues to read, that provided a compelling narrative of Roman life in 79AD and the catastrophic disaster that befell the community. It felt like we were walking in the footsteps of those who perished. Italy should be proud of such fine academics and support their continued work, as clearly there is still much to learn from these ancestors. So thankyou Maria and Sandretti tours for providing one of the best hightlights of our five month journey through Europe. Maria, how fortunate for Ana that she has you as her mum, what a fascinating life you will gift her, just by being yourself. Thankyou for conveying the wonder so joyously. It is an rare thing. Grazie mille.

Herculaneum Tour - Our guide, Amedeo, was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and, equally important, very skilled at sharing his knowledge—with such enthusiasm!

The best way to visit Herculaneum - Roberto, our guide, was a gentleman and scholar. Roberto was so knowledgeable, with excellent English and brought the whole city alive for us!!!!

We had a great tour with... - We had a great tour with Pina! Herculaneum was even more impressive than Pompeii - the structures, and artwork, and the fate of its people. Pina answered all of our questions with a great amount of insight and detail, and connected things from the past to things today. Highly recommended tour!

Fascinating and sobering. Excellent tour! - Having a private tour with an archaeologist made the visit incredible and worthwhile. I can't imagine wandering on our own and guessing about everything. Our guide was fantastic and answered all of our questions, providing so much insight into the lives of the people and what they must have experienced during the eruption. She taught us so much and while the tour was sobering, it was also fascinating and without the horrible disaster we might never know anything about this period and how people lived. Highly recommend!
