History brought back to life in Herculaneum settlement - My most favorite tour yet! Eliana took us through the events before, during and after the pyroclastic explosion of volcanic activity of Mt Vesuvius. The carbonized and later restored wooden beams in architecturally preserved buildings in the Herculaneum settlement was phenomenal. The care and detail of this passionate archeologist was apparent. Eilana, thank you for a living-history tour. l

Great experience - This was a great experience. Our archeologist, Francesco, was extremely knowledgable and answered every question we had. He kept a great pace even with the heat and my father who was difficulty with stairs. We would recommend this to anyone. We enjoyed this more than our trip to Pompei.

Private tour at Herculaneum - Our tour of Herculaneum was wonderful. Mariagrazia was an incredible guide and my whole family was very happy. She was so knowledgable and enthusiastic, and really brought Herculanuem alive for us. Thank you!

Awesome guide. Only way to see Herculaneum! - Seeing Herculaneum with my family meant we could share this unique site guided by Dr. Eliana Sandretti. Her expertise was invaluable in getting the most out of our exploration of this site. Kudos Viator.

Fantastic tour - We enjoyed every moment of this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She made the entire tour very interesting. Could not have been better.

Herculaneum - Our guide was patient, knowledgeable and very professional. We’ll worth it. I recommend it for any trip to Herculaneum.

Bringing Roman culture to life. - Our guide, an archeologist himself, was knowledgeable an personable. .Francesc was interesting and made the 2 hours of visit fly by. Herculaneum is such an interesting site and our group learned a lot about The Roman culture around the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. I highly recommend his tour.

Tremendously preserved buildings, and a wonderful guide - We took this as a pair with a private tour of Pompeii, also from Eliana's business. We spread the tours over two days, which I recommend, and were greeted by our guide from Pompeii, Luciana, as we breakfasted in a cafe just outside the gates of the archeological site. It's much smaller than Pompeii, but better preserved, so you can see the carbonised remains of wooden items, upper storeys of the buildings, and beautiful mosaics and decorations. Luciana was once again a great guide, patient with my 8 yo son who absolutely loved her and grabbed her hand. She was able to bring the history absolutely to life, and it was if anything a better tour than the superb Pompeii one the previous day. The private tour allowed us to move at our own pace, and we never felt rushed or that we were listening to a prepared script. So very highly recommended. It's not the cheapest tour, but it's the best way of seeing the site.

Professional and knowledgeable - Our tour guide Pia and she was wondering. So informative and helped me with places to step since I have a bad knee. Her knowledge of the historical site was beyond belief! Herculaneum was a perfect choice for our family to go and see❤️

Herculaneum brought to life - The guide tailored our tour to our areas of interest and brought the archaeological details to life. Highly knowledgeable guide - did a great job making the history accessible. Clear and easy to understand
