“We spent a lot of money on this experience and the Pompeii portion of the tour was a huge disappointment! Our tour guide spoke English but her accent was so strong we couldn't understand her. I kept asking my husband what she said and he always said he had no idea. This is something I have dreamed of doing since I was a kid. I can't tell you how disgusted we were. I later heard other people say they couldn't understand her either. The Herculaneum portion of the tour was very good. I would recommend that for sure. The cold, thin piece of chicken was too chewy to eat. I…”

“This private tour with Antonio was a fantastic way to learn some amazing history about Napoli. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Even had my daughter's engaged the whole day. Sadly it was cloudy by the time we got to Mt Vesuvius, so we couldn't see inside the crater, but nevertheless, it was still an amazing experience. I'd suggest doing Vesuvius in the morning when clouds are clear. Highly recommend this tour !”

Audio guide was informative but would have been good if we could have paired our bluetooth headphones with the device. Herculaneum was a lovely place to visit, well preserved and was nice to see after visiting Pompeii.”

Guided Herculaneum tour from Naples with round-trip pickup, skip-the-line entry, and short visits to standout Roman houses in 3 hours.

“I highly recommend the small group tour. We had such a personalized experience with our archeologist tour guide, Carmen. So many other tours were with large groups and it was difficult in some buildings for all those people to see the important site in the building while the guide was talking. We had none of those problems in our small group. We learned so much about Herculaneum and saw so many unique points. Carmela was our tour leader and met us at the pick up point. She also shared a lot of information with us on the drive. The entire experience was very worthwhile.”
