Herculaneum, a small city seated at the base of Volcano Vesuvius, was notably renowned during its prime, as recorded in preserved historical accounts. Its life was cut short in 79 A.D. by a volcanic eruption, which buried the city completely.

Despite the passage of centuries and the emergence of new urban developments, the site still offers a chance to explore the city as it once was, treading its original stone pavements, two millennia after its untimely demise.

The private tour guide will acquaint you with the prime attractions of this Roman city, providing an in-depth understanding of our forebears’ customs and traditions. You’ll get the opportunity to visit the ‘Palestra’ (gym) and houses adorned with spectacular frescoes such as Casa di Nettuno e Anfritrite, Casa dello Scheletro, Casa dell’Alcova, and Casa del salone nero.
