Stop At: Parco Acheologico di Ercolano, Corso Resina, 187, 80056 Ercolano Italy
Herculaneum was an ancient Roman resort at the time it was destroyed by the eruption of Volcano Vesuvius in 79AD. In a 2-hour-tour, you can explore most of the archaeological park. Led by your private guide, you will mostly visit luxury ancient private homes with intact gardens (House of the Deer). It’s the chance for you to admire the best glass-pasta mosaics ever (House of Neptune and Amphitrite). You will explore the bath-house together with taverns and shops. Also, the guide will take you to the ancient city beach where the skeletons of 200 citizens who died during the eruption are crammed into the ancient yards.
If you have children from 6 to 11 years old, we recommend the additional family option. The Herculaneum for kids tour will make it both an entertaining and learning experience for all the family. You will still visit all the highlights of Herculaneum, but this option includes activities, games, a special map with stickers, and a specifically trained tour guide.
