Herculaneum Private Tour with an Archaeologist
Overview
Be guided by an Archaeologist to discover the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum destroyed by the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Herculaneum was the best holiday destination for the Roman aristocracy, a small chest full of miracles as Romans stated. In its private residences and public buildings were found marble decorations, wall paintings, mosaic floors as well as objects implemented in the everyday life. Also called 'the sister of Pompeii', this city shows you some better preserved findings like wooden doors and exquisite paintings.
With an Archaeologist leading you through the site sharing his knowledge and telling you interesting anecdotes, you'll get the feeling to be walking in a still living town!
