A History of Herculaneum: Frozen in Time
In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying Herculaneum. Unlike Pompeii, it was engulfed by a superheated pyroclastic flow which carbonized wood and organic materials, preserving the town in stunning detail.

Avis de voyageurs sur nos circuits et nos locaux
"We spent a full day with Francesco exploring Herculaneum and Pompeii as a family of four (two boys aged 7 and 10) and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip. Francesco is a trained archaeologist who grew up in this part of Italy, and that combination of academic knowledge and local roots makes him exceptional. He doesn’t just recite facts; he brings these places to life in a way that had our kids genuinely hooked. That’s no small thing when you’re asking a 7-year-old to care about ancient ruins. His English is excellent — he lived in the UK for a period — and he has that rare ability to pitch his explanations perfectly, whether he’s talking to the adults or crouching down to explain something to the boys at their level. What really set Francesco apart was his flexibility and calm when things went sideways. Our train from Naples was significantly delayed and he simply reorganised the itinerary on the spot to make the timings work, then drove us all in his car between the two sites himself. In between, he took us for lunch at a local spot nowhere near the tourist trail — exactly the kind of place you’d never find on your own. He also seems to know everyone in the area, which gives you that reassuring sense that you’re in genuinely good hands rather than just being another booking on someone’s calendar. We would recommend Francesco without hesitation and would book with him again in a heartbeat."
"My family had to cancel their trip to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples due to illness, so I went on my own. As I am in my 80's I felt a bit daunted by the idea, but I could not be more delighted with the way the trip turned out. I was driven back and forth for each visit by Roberto, who was very pleasant and efficient, and was guided around by Raffaele. I would like to say how very much I enjoyed meeting and spending time with him. Raffaele was extremely knowledgeable and informative about all the places we visited; he was very patient with a slow moving old lady, helping me up high kerb stones and steps and taking photos of mosaics and other features that I was unable to get to. I hope he will send me any extra pictures that he took. He was very helpful in pointing out details and telling about the history of the various places. I shall always remember his kindness and look upon him as a new friend. "

"If you've ever wondered what it means to be the perfect tour guide, please allow me to introduce you to Francesco! He has extensive knowledge about Vesuvius, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, certainly, given his background as an archaeologist. But he adds to that something much more invaluable--he is passionate about his subject, and he has an infectious energy and enthusiasm that somehow captivate even those least interested in learning about history (think kids). His stories, descriptions, and illustrations transport you in time. And perhaps equally importantly, he treats everyone like family! Thank you so much for the day we spent, Francesco! We'd recommend this special tour for anyone looking to get the most out of their time at these incredible sites!"
"Francesco was amazing!!! I can’t recommend him highly enough, his knowledge of Pompeii and Herculaneum is based on real life experience as both a local, born and raised in Pompeii and as a trained archeologist who even has artifacts that he personally excavated inside of the museum at Pompeii! Not only is he knowledgeable, he is enthusiastic, interesting and super friendly! His English is amazing and he keeps a good pace without making you feel rushed. Highly recommend booking a tour with Francesco - because why would you take an archeological tour with anyone other than an experienced and personable archeologist!!!"
"We had the distinct pleasure and fortune of having Raffaele guide us through the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. He is an incredibly knowledgeable guide who did a fantastic job of pacing our tour and pointing out incredible tidbits to keep two middle-aged adults and two teens (the toughest audience of all!) engaged for hours. Amazing access and insights, great sense of humour and overall an unforgettable experience. Thanks again, Raffaele!"
"We had toured Pompeii and Herculeum one time before several years ago. Our traveling companions had never seen it, so we agreed to tour it again. It turns out that we got just an average tour last time, and the tour with Raffaele this time was so so much better. We saw much more and learned much more, and it was an incredibly better experience. Raffaele is the best. Extremely knowledgeable and wonderfully personable. Can’t say enough about him. "
"Noemi is fantastic at engaging with people of all ages and my 9 year old son said our day with her was the highlight of his whole Italy trip. She is warm, kind, interesting and highly knowledgeable. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Pompeii with an expert and a local!"
"Our family of eight experienced a tour of Herculaneum with Raffaele. He was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Our ages varied from grandparents to grandchildren and everyone agreed that it was one of the highlights of the trip. "
"Our tour was fantastic. Raffaele's enthusiasm for the site and his depth of knowledge brought Herculaneum to life for us and our children. I could not recommend this tour highly enough."
"I can’t praise Nino highly enough. He is knowledgeable, personable, and went out of his way to make our visit a great experience. If he’s available, grab him!"
