Excellent organisation, by Dayana, Giovanni (Driver) and Nina. I had Nina as a guide on arrival to Herculean. She was very knowledgeable and I have learned lots. The pick up time was arranged by Dayana and the day before introduced herself via WhatsApp. Coach was comfortable. Herculean does not really have much shade, my advice have some wet wipes to freshen up and carry some water. Along with wearing good sturdy trainers (sneakers).
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that this tour was the perfect end to your holiday. We will gladly pass your kind words along to Dayana for her excellent organization and communication, Giovanni for the comfortable drive, and Nina for sharing her extensive knowledge at Herculaneum. Thank you also for sharing those great tips for future travelers—staying hydrated and wearing sturdy shoes makes all the difference. We hope to welcome you back again!

We visited Herculaneum whilst on a Marella cruise, its really worth a visit. The history of the place is amazing our guide was very informative and explained how the eruption buried the town, expanded the land and how they found and excavatored the site. I would highly recommend a visit.

Well worth the visit but..... There was no queue so no line to skip. The mini bus ride was hot (no air conditioning) and the driver seemed to hit every bump in the road but on the positive side it was a short trip from Naples. The Guide was a bit 'lecturery' and the amount of times he said this or that was fantastic and much better than Pompeli became irritating. The site is small and you could explore without a guide. The museum has some excellent finds, well displayed. It maybe cheaper to get a taxi to the site and pay for your own ticket rather than pay for a group tour.
Dear Lin, thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you found Herculaneum worth a visit. Regarding your feedback on the guided aspect, we believe that the true value of a professional tour lies in the historical context and the narrative that brings these ruins to life, which goes beyond what a map can provide. We apologize if our guide's enthusiasm came across as repetitive, and we will share this with our team. We aim to provide an informative and comfortable experience, and we regret that the transfer conditions did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your constructive input.
Thomaso was excellent. Enjoyed his sense of humour and knowledge
Thank you for your kind feedback!
