About this experience
The small seaside town of Herculaneum really packs a punch – a UNESCO World Heritage site showcasing ancient Roman life before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. On this tour, you’ll walk through streets frozen in time, from bustling markets to luxurious villas and artefacts.
The tour starts with a glimpse into ancient daily life. You’ll make a stop at the bakery and the Forum, letting your imagination run wild picturing the Romans socializing in the bathing areas – snapping pics of dolphin mosaics and geometric tiles. You’ll have the chance to see how the wealthy lived in lavish waterfront villas, decked out with frescoes, mosaics and marble plaques.
Next, you’ll visit the Boat Pavilion, where you’ll see a real-deal Roman vessel that once sailed to the rescue of Herculaneum’s citizens. And, to top it all off, make your way to the antiquarium where you'll be surrounded by a mind-blowing collection of sculptures, frescoes, jewellery, and everyday Roman knick-knacks.
