Description
Step off the beaten-tourist-track, leave the hustle and bustle behind and set off on a fascinating visit to a little known, scenic archaeological site: stunning Herculaneum! Meet your English-speaking driver, travel in comfort and style, and meet your private guide at the site. Completely destroyed in 79 A.D. due to the eruption of the Volcano Vesuvius, and exceptionally wellpreserved thanks to the eruption itself, Herculaneum is a smaller site than Pompeii, but no less captivating. Superbly maintained this evocative site, once a fishing town, is smaller than Pompeii, so less daunting and much easier to explore!
Follow your guide and admire the amazingly well-maintained collection of ruins, learn about the history and life of its inhabitants. Strolling through the ancient village's streets you will be able to see wooden upper floors, parts of decorative
ceilings and fittings such as racks for wine amphorae. You will also admire handsome public water fountains with sculpted
decorations and have the chance to peer into the shops, bars and bakeries and enter them as well, envisioning the daily life of the ancient inhabitants. A visit to Herculaneum is much more than a tour, it is an enchanting cultural experience!
