This fully private guided tour of Herculaneum is crafted entirely around your pace and interests — offering a relaxed, insightful, and deeply personal journey into one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological sites. Your day begins with a comfortable private transfer from your accommodation in Naples to Herculaneum, where your expert licensed guide will be waiting to welcome you right at the entrance. With priority access, you’ll skip the lines and step straight into a Roman city frozen in time. Buried in 79 AD by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was sealed beneath a thick blanket of volcanic material that protected not just stone buildings, but also fragile elements like wooden beams, furniture, vivid frescoes, intricate mosaics, and even food remnants — offering an intimate window into everyday life nearly 2,000 years ago. Wander through ancient streets and discover some of the site’s most remarkable spaces: the House of the Deer, with its refined wall paintings and seaside view; the evocative House of the Skeleton, where human remains bring history hauntingly to life; and the College of the Augustales, once a hub of religious and civic activity. You’ll also visit the Central Baths, still divided into men’s and women’s sections with original basins and changing rooms intact, and marvel at rare details like a wooden folding door in the Partem Domus Lignea. The experience culminates in the Salone della Barca, where a Roman boat recovered near the ancient shoreline offers a moving glimpse into the town’s dramatic final moments. Throughout the two-hour tour, your guide will enrich the visit with engaging stories, historical context, and thoughtful commentary — turning ancient ruins into vivid, lasting memories. And with private transportation and flexible scheduling, this immersive experience is as seamless as it is unforgettable.
