Description

Begin your journey at Rome Termini Station, where you’ll board a high-speed train to Naples. Travel comfortably through the Italian countryside until you reach Napoli Centrale.

Upon arrival, meet your guide at Platform 24. They’ll assist you with your connection and accompany you to the next train heading to Herculaneum, ensuring a smooth and stress-free travel experience.

Once in Herculaneum, join an immersive 2-hour guided tour and embark on a 2,000-year journey into the past. Meet your expert local guide — an ancient history enthusiast ready to share the hidden stories and secrets of this extraordinary site.

Less crowded than its famous neighbor Pompeii, yet equally captivating, Herculaneum offers an intimate and unique glimpse into the Roman world: well-preserved houses, colorful frescoes, everyday objects frozen in time, and even charred wooden furniture that miraculously survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It’s a vivid journey into the daily life of an ancient Roman town suddenly halted by the volcano’s fury.

At the end of the guided tour, you are free to remain inside the archaeological site and continue exploring independently. Please note that once you exit the ruins, re-entry is not permitted.
