Herculaneum guided tour with an Archaeologist

As an archaeologist I consider the excavations of Herculaneum a unique, exceptional site. They are the most preserved Roman remains ever. You will visit a Roman city crystallized by a violent eruption of Vesuvius that occurred in the year AD. An exciting experience that will indelibly enrich your travel experience. Herculaneum is an incredible ancient Roman city, smaller than Pompeii, but much better preserved. It was a rich city of the Empire that faced the center of the Gulf of Naples; many of his houses are superb and elegant, showing that many of his citizens had achieved good economic prosperity. Herculaneum is located on the slopes of Vesuvius and for this reason, was completely buried by about 25 meters of pyroclastic materials of the terrible eruption of Vesuvius that occurred in A. D. 79. Here you will see the incredible: wooden doors, windows, beds, other charred materials and the second floors of the houses. It is an extraordinary archaeological site that has a unique charm in the world.
