Private Herculaneum Ruins Tour & Royal Palace Cooking Class

Discover a journey where history and flavor intertwine. Begin with a private guided tour of Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Smaller than Pompeii yet even better preserved, Herculaneum offers an extraordinary glimpse of daily Roman life. Walk through elegant villas, mosaics, frescoes, and wooden balconies still intact after two millennia, while your expert guide reveals stories of its inhabitants and the dramatic day the city was frozen in time. Then enjoy a pleasant 15-minute walk to the nearby Royal Palace of Portici, the 18th-century residence of King Charles of Bourbon. In this majestic setting, join a shared cooking class led by a local chef and learn to prepare fresh pasta and tiramisu following authentic Neapolitan recipes. Finally, relax and savor your creations with local wine — a perfect blend of archaeology, cuisine, and royal charm.
