Explore Herculaneum with your Private Guide

The city was buried under 16 meters of ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD: this thick layer of rubbles and aches has preserved intact the domus homes with the internal architecture and décor, including decorations, jewellery as well as some organic remains like food. This give us the opportunity to have a clear view of the daily lives of the ancient population of Herculaneum.

Our guide who was the same for Pompeii was brilliant at accentuating the differences between these 2 sites. Once again we had a most informative and enjoyable tour. The food tour of Naples was a " Tour de force". Our highly cultured, witty and informative guide gave us a true flavour of Naples, both through food and history.
