Highlights
Step into ancient history on a fully private tour of Herculaneum with round-trip transportation from your accommodation in the Sorrento area.
Travel comfortably by private vehicle and meet your expert, licensed guide directly at the entrance of the site — skipping the hassle of logistics and the lines at the gate. Buried in the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this remarkably well-preserved Roman town was sealed under layers of volcanic material that protected wooden beams, colorful frescoes, mosaics, furniture, and even food remains for nearly two millennia. Far quieter than Pompeii, Herculaneum offers an intimate and powerful glimpse into daily Roman life. With a personalized itinerary and a guide dedicated to your interests, you’ll explore ancient streets, luxurious villas, and sacred spaces — all frozen in time.
