Private Tour of Herculaneum
Dr Pina Esposito, PhD · Naples
Unveil Herculaneum’s hidden treasures! Exclusive private tour led by a PhD archaeologist and licensed guide with fluent English. Unlike Pompeii’s grand public monuments, Herculaneum dazzles with perfectly preserved private houses and shops—upper floors intact, original wooden balconies, windows, stairs, doors, beams, tables, beds, laundry presses, baskets, and boats saved by the protective mud of the 79AD eruption. See the newly restored (opened July 2024) with 300 “Fugitives” bodies in situ—the most dramatic evidence of Mt. Vesuvius’ eruption. Duration: approximately 2 hours. Price: €200 for parties up to 4 guests. Includes: private guide. Admission fees, tips, drinks, and meals are not included. Optional skip-the-line tickets available upon request. Enjoy 20% discount when booking your tour before March 15th.
