Herculaneum Private Walking Guided Tour 2 hours
Overview
On our two hours guided tour of Herculaneum we will try to bring the entire city back to life, describing the culture of the time, the role of the family,the religious life with its various temples, cultures, beliefs and superstitions, funeral rites; the typology of the Roman houses.
Dating back to the 4th century BC, the city was thought to have been founded by the legendary Hercules. This elite Roman resort was devastated by the same volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii in 79 AD. This is an excursion that cannot be missed, unlike the ash and lava that devastated Pompeii, Herculaneum was covered by a torrent of mud, which protected the ruins from atmospheric agents and illegal excavators.
The guided walking tour of Herculaneum will take about two hours, The natural preservation of wooden elements, foodstuffs, fabrics, and architecture provides a fascinating and intimate look into the Roman's private life in ancient times.
