Highlights
This tour takes you around Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, with an expert archaeologist guide. Skip the long ticket lines with a priority ticket and see up close two-story Roman houses with carbonized wooden structures and the vividly preserved mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite. You can choose between options with round-trip transport from Naples or meeting directly at the site's ticket office, and choose a regular, small or semi-private group size.
Program
Depart from Naples
or meet your guide right at the site
If you choose an option with transport, you depart from designated hotels or the cruise terminal in Naples and travel to Ercolano by bus or van for about 30 minutes. Options without transport meet the guide directly at the ticket office of the Herculaneum archaeological site. On arrival, skip the long line with the included priority ticket.
Visit the House of the Wooden Partition and the House of Neptune and Amphitrite
Walk through the ruins for about 2 hours with a licensed archaeologist guide. At the House of the Wooden Partition (Casa del Tramezzo di Legno), where a rare wooden partition dividing the interior still remains, you can see the traditional atrium and Roman wooden artifacts. At the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, admire the glass-paste wall mosaic depicting the sea gods.
Explore the city baths and mansions overlooking the sea
At the city baths (Terme Urbane), the guide explains the structure of a Roman bath from the calidarium (hot bath) and tepidarium (warm bath) to the frigidarium (cold bath), as well as the underfloor heating system (hypocaust). At the House of the Deer (Casa del Cervo) and the House of the Bicentenary overlooking the sea, the large courtyards and frescoes show the wealth of the ancient residents.
Finish at the boathouses on the ancient shoreline
At the arched boathouses (fornici) near the ancient shoreline, you can see the remains of people who took shelter there during the eruption and an ancient Roman boat. For options with transport, you return to a designated drop-off point in Naples after the tour.
