Overview

Step into ancient history on a fully private tour of Herculaneum with round-trip transportation from your accommodation in the Sorrento area. Travel comfortably by private vehicle and meet your expert, licensed guide directly at the entrance of the site — skipping the hassle of logistics and the lines at the gate. Buried in the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this remarkably well-preserved Roman town was sealed under layers of volcanic material that protected wooden beams, colorful frescoes, mosaics, furniture, and even food remains for nearly two millennia. Far quieter than Pompeii, Herculaneum offers an intimate and powerful glimpse into daily Roman life. With a personalized itinerary and a guide dedicated to your interests, you’ll explore ancient streets, luxurious villas, and sacred spaces — all frozen in time.

Duration: 10 mins
4. House of the Skeleton
The House of the Skeleton probably the aggregation of three smaller buildings, derives its name from the discovery of human remains in a second floor room in 1831.

5. College of the Augustales
It is thought that the building was a centre of the cult of the Emperor Augustus and the headquarters of the Collegium Augustalium (or possibly even the local curia).
Duration: 5 mins
6. Central Thermae
The "thermae" were the city's public baths. There were relatively few private baths and these were limited to the most well-to-do families, given that the latter were the only ones who could afford to build rooms suited to the purpose. The thermal bath buildings were divided into two sections: one reserved for women and one reserved for men. Each of these contained a series of rooms with different functions: changing room cold bath room tepid bath room hot bath room all well preserved from the passing of the years
Duration: 15 mins
7. Partem Domus lignea - Casa del Tramezzo di Legno
The Partem Domus Lignea, owes its name to a folding wooden door discovered here; it was used to separate the atrium from the tablinium (the studio of the owner). In front of the façade it's still possible to admire the benches where the clientes waited to be received from the host.
Duration: 10 mins
8. Salone della Barca di Ercolano
After the Eruption of the Volcano Vesuvius, many inhabitants fled for their lives reaching the beach. The men tried to protect women and children, but the fury of the Volcano was unstoppable and the waves, the sand and the lava destroyed the little port and the beach. The wooden boat, recovered from the ancient beach, was covered with a resinous material, which preserved it perfectly, and in 1982 it was bring back to lifeand put back in the right position, so travellers can admire it.
