A day in Herculanum never to be forgotten! - Our guide, Francesca, was amazing. We visisted Herculanum, which was in itself a besutiful and moving experience. But Fancisca made it even more. We went with 2 grandchildren, 15 years, who asked lots of questions, and as they said:Francisca could answer every one of them! She is a modt knowlegable and pleasant person who gave much more if herself than anyone could expext. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Amazing site to visit - We had heard this was a tour to take if you wanted to see more artifacts and preserved architecture, it did not disappoint. Also, our tour guide (Laura) did a great job. It was obvious she appreciates the site and conveyed that during the tour.

Always see Herculeum with an archeologist! - It’s almost magical to walk the streets of this 2000 year old city. With Michele, an archeologist, as our guide, we learned in great detail, the everyday life of these ancient citizens. I highly recommend a guide, as he unlocks secrets that you’d never imagine. Michele Lamberti made the excavated city come alive!

Worth having a guide - Great private tour with Roberta. It was so nice to walk around the site and be told the history of it. All of us said that it is so much nicer to do a private one. We did ours in April at around 11.30. We left around 3pm and there was a queue for entry so an early visit would be a good idea.
