Herculaneum: 2-Hour Guided Tour of Roman Houses & Preserved Frescoes｜Italy

Join our immersive 2-hour guided visit to Herculaneum and embark on a journey 2,000 years back in time. Meet us at the designated meeting point, where you will meet your live guide, a true enthusiast of ancient history (look for the inStazione logo).

Less crowded than its famous neighbor Pompeii, but equally fascinating, Herculaneum offers an intimate and unique experience: intact Roman houses, colorful frescoes, everyday objects frozen in time, and even miraculously preserved charred wooden structures. It's a leap into the daily life of the inhabitants of a city frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

We handle the ticket logistics for you and will provide you with all the necessary information the day before your booking so that you can enjoy your visit with complete peace of mind. All you have to do is bring your questions and curiosity about Herculaneum and its inhabitants.

At the end of the guided visit, you can stay inside the ruins and continue your visit independently, but keep in mind that each time you leave, you will not be able to return.

It is also possible to choose a combo option that includes the guided visit of Herculaneum as well as the admission ticket to the National Park of Vesuvius, with bus transportation included. In this case, guests will be picked up by bus outside Naples Central Train Station and taken to Mount Vesuvius. With their admission ticket, they will have approximately two hours to explore the volcano at their own pace. The bus will then take them to Herculaneum, where the guided visit of the archaeological site will begin. At the end of the tour, the return bus transfer to Naples is also included.
Bus departure from Naples at 9:00 AM: departure from Vesuvius at 11:40 AM, from Herculaneum to Naples at 4:45 PM.
Departure from Naples at 10:15 AM: departure from Vesuvius at 1:30 PM, from Herculaneum to Naples at 4:45 PM.
