Hurculaneum has to be seen! - Sensational tour. We’ve done Pompeii and loved it but Hurculaneum was on another level. So well preserved, it really has to be seen. Kudos to our driver Rafael who got us there and back safely in the crazy Napoli traffic and to our guide, Alessandro (Alex) who was a font of knowledge. Very professional.

Excellent site - well preserved! - We joined another group that had visited Pompei earlier in the morning. Had a nice lunch with a group of others and the drove to Herculean. Amazing site well preserved able to see very good buildings, floors, and a preserved boat.

Wonderful tour, driver and guide! - Our driver, Pasquali and our guide, Alessandro were wonderful! Alessandro added more to our experience than we were expecting. After the tour he walked us into the termini station and helped us buy tickets from the machine.

Better preserved site than Pompei - Now if you had to choose between Pompei and Herculaneum, having been to both, I would choose the later. Pompei is more famous and really a fantastic site to explore. I'd recommend though you go to Pompei if you could only do one site as it's known worldwide. So much better preserved with a smaller footprint, I enjoyed Herculaneum more so. I was picked up at the cruise terminal in Naples with a 45 minute drive to Pompei where I joined others for the lunch portion of the tour. After an authentic Italian three course meal, we were taken to Herculaneum which was about 15 minutes away. There we were given headsets as this is self guided which is actually fine. We had about 90 or so minutes to explore. We could have used maybe another 30 minutes, but 90 was fine as this is a small site to explore - much smaller than Pompei. Afterward, we boarded our mini van and were driven back directly to Naples in about 25 minutes to drop me at the cruise terminal. So convenient and easy. A great day in the Naples area.
