    Overview

    Choose to relive the history of the elegant city of Herculaneum with our Guide expert in archaeology!

    The tour begins with a panoramic view of the entire archaeological park.

    Entering the city everything will be a step back in time, among refined details of Roman dwellings, shops and spas.

    The more than 20 meters of volcanic material have preserved in a sensational way the charred wood of doors, windows, beams, beds.

    We will reach the ancient beach, where about 300 fleeing people died and whose skeletons we see today.
