What to expect

Explore the ruins of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most preserved ancient cities. Herculaneum was buried under volcanic material after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD but, unlike the nearby site of Pompeii, a lot of the town was preserved: roofs, beds, doors, food and even skeletons.Walk the cobbled streets of the archeological area with an archaeologist and get a glimpse of what life was like before the devastating eruption. Explore intact buildings at your own pace, see well-preserved frescoes, and imagine the daily rituals of those using shops, public gymnasiums and thermal baths that can still be visited today.

La dott.ssa Alessandra Desiderio è stata la guida più preparata, cortese e professionale che abbiamo mai incontrato; non dubitiamo che anche le altre guide siano simili a lei… non perdetevi questa esperienza. La procedura di scelta, pagamento, prenotazione e poi davvero veloce ed immediata!

La nostra visita agli scavi di Ercolano è stata a dir poco speciale, Renato, la nostra guida, ci ha accompagnato lungo la storia di queste rovine e Il tempo è volato ascoltando spiegazioni approfondite e piene di particolari interessanti.
