We loved how interactive the guide made it. The kids were able to ask tons of questions, and the guide was so patient and enthusiastic. Even the youngest (7) stayed engaged the whole time, wonderful experience!

Full Description
Step into the past on a fun and educational family-friendly tour of Herculaneum, a beautifully preserved ancient Roman town. Smaller and less crowded than Pompeii, Herculaneum offers an exciting, immersive experience perfect for kids! With a specialized guide, families will explore its well-preserved homes, vibrant frescoes, and even wooden furniture that survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Your adventure begins at the ancient city gates, where little explorers can imagine life in this once-thriving town. Walk through cobbled streets to discover Roman baths, shops, and houses with incredible mosaics and colorful frescoes. Kids will be fascinated by the ancient fast-food stalls (thermopolia) and the well-preserved artifacts that bring history to life.
One of the most captivating moments is seeing the boathouses, where the remains of those who sought refuge during the eruption were discovered. It’s a powerful and moving insight into history.
This interactive tour includes engaging storytelling, hands-on activities, and fun historical facts, making it an unforgettable experience for the whole family. For added convenience, opt for a private transfer from Naples or Rome to enjoy a seamless and stress-free adventure!
