Fantastic tour! - Our tour with Roberto was fantastic! He was knowledgable and friendly and made the history come alive for us. We learned so much from him. We enjoyed our time with him and our visit.

Great tour - Ercolaneum is an entirely different experience to Pompeii. It is much smaller, but the replicas of the bodies (especially in the harbour area) that were found make it more sombre than its larger and busier neighbour.
Our guide, Roberto, was very knowledgeable and he provided good insights and context during the tour.

Exceptional tour with Maria - You should not see Herculaneum without doing this tour. You will miss SO much. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored our tour knowing we were going to Pompeii the next day and to the archeological museum in Naples the following day. She is an archivist at the museum and you can see the passion she has for the history of the site. She was also so nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

History brought back to life in Herculaneum settlement - My most favorite tour yet! Eliana took us through the events before, during and after the pyroclastic explosion of volcanic activity of Mt Vesuvius. The carbonized and later restored wooden beams in architecturally preserved buildings in the Herculaneum settlement was phenomenal. The care and detail of this passionate archeologist was apparent. Eilana, thank you for a living-history tour. l

Great experience - This was a great experience. Our archeologist, Francesco, was extremely knowledgable and answered every question we had. He kept a great pace even with the heat and my father who was difficulty with stairs. We would recommend this to anyone. We enjoyed this more than our trip to Pompei.
