Explore Herculaneum: Half Day tour with your Local Archaeologist

Let's get together the magic of Herculaneum: the dazzling ancient city underneath the modern lively city. . . Even if smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum is even more precious: it's closer to Vesuvius but you can see an almost intact city! It was the city that rich romans chose as a vacation: many houses are still by the beach, and you'll immediately notice the luxury and the preciousness of the decorations. Many shops still preserve what they sold: I'll show you how the second floor buildings survived from the vesuvian eruption! I had the chance to work as an Archaeologist on the precious Herculaneum pottery: I took part to many conventions and lessons, and I'll tell you about these amazing studies! The tour starts with an introduction to the city and the eruption of 79AD. The we'll see the carbonized boat and we'll be able to walk down the the roman seashore where the skeletons where found. A must visit are: the house of deers, roman shops, bath house, college of august ales and much more!
