Walking tour in a wealthy ancient Roman city

WITH
Fabrizio's TEAM | about the guide

IMPORTANT NOTE: The tour must start before 9 a.m. in the morning or after 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon.


Delve into the history of the Ancient Rome civilization on this private walking tour of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage city dating back to few centuries B.C. and buried in the bay of Naples. Like Pompeii, the seaside town of Herculaneum was devastated by the Mount Vesuvius volcano in 79 A.D. and lays today in an archeological hole. Departing from Naples or Sorrento, you will head to Herculaneum by private car. Upon arrival, you will follow your guide for a complete immersion into the ancient life of this wealthy city with its lavish homes made of marble and beautiful mosaic frescoes. See the well preserved remains such as beds, roofs, skeletons, doors and many objects of daily use that witness the opulent lifestyle during the Ancient Roman civilization. You will also discover the main landmarks of the site such as the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, the city council of the Augustali and the Public Suburban Baths. Your tour will end with some free time to enjoy the souvenirs shops around, just before coming back to the departure point with your guide.

Born and raised in Naples (I am a real local!), I have been guiding for 20 years and since the age of 17, starting with some tours in Pompeii. I have a Master's Degree in Art History and a solid experience being a tour manager in different European countries as well as in the Caribbean sea. Today I can speak also Spanish, French, and English, a language skill I improved while living in Canada for 6 months. Licensed guide and driver, I enjoy meeting new people and helping them discover my beautiful city and its surroundings. Today I manage a small tourism company in Naples and the Campania, and I work together with another passionate guide named Giuseppe. Our goal is to make you feel at home in this welcoming region, so we designed unique itineraries to show you the best of Naples, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, and Pompeii. I am passionate about the Ancient Roman Times, the Baroque art, the archeology, but also nature (I am a beekeeper during my free time) and its treasures. Something else about me: I love playing music (accordion, trumpet and frame drums) and travelling with my two children. Let me show you the authentic Campania region and tell you some tales that span millennia of history.

We were met promptly at the cruise terminal by our guide Dr Lavinia De Rosa who took us to Herculaneum by public transport which was fun . She is a historian and very knowledgeable about the site . We thoroughly enjoyed walking round and hearing all about how they excavated the ruins . It is more complete and compact than Pompeii . Many houses you could walk thro had frescos , mosaics and in more than one even wooden screens which were charred but still in tact . Without Lavinia we wouldn't have learnt so much and would have missed some very interesting facts. JOHN R.

What an amazing day. Our party of four was greeted by Pasquale (our driver) and Ferdinando (our tour guide) where our cruise ship docked. We were then driven to Herculaneum in a clean and roomy car. Ferdinando guided us through Herculaneum, capturing our attention from the word go. He was a dapper gentleman, who was knowledgeable, passionate about Herculaneum and extremely friendly. Our tour of Herculaneum was a highlight of our trip. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant And thank you Vincenzo for your helpful assistance booking our sensational tour. ADRIENNE M.
