Herculaneum Tour from Sorrento

Our local tour hostess, Clementina was a delight! Our tour guide, Vincenzo was engaging, knowledgeable and passionate down to details that brought Ercolano to life. If you and #39;re really into this stuff, do yourself a favor and book this tour! Worth every euro.

Excellent

This tour was excellent.

Really enjoyed this, excellent for someone like me who is a rome and history fanatic.
Fairly quiet so no problem getting in or seeing anything. Tour could have been longer as start was delayed by waiting for everyone to use the two toilets!

Our bus picked us up from our hotel at 08.25 and, due to a road accident on one road and a broken down lorry on the other road, we didn't reach Herculaneum until 10.30! However, this was the only downside to the whole trip. Herculaneum regulates the number of visitors in the site and so occasionally they will stop entrance for a while but we only waited about 20 mins and, if I'm honest, it does make the whole experience more enjoyable as you are not fighting through the crowds. Nello, our guide, was passionate and knowledgeable about his subject and his tour was extremely good. The site itself was very interesting although some of the best preserved houses were closed to the public for restoration. All in all, a very good tour and one I would thoroughly recommend. I would especially recommend Nello for his wonderful narrative.

This tour was amazing!

Excellent tour well worth the money. The guide was very informative throughout the visit. Herculaneum is a place everyone has to see if they visit this area. It was as if the people had just gone.

Herculaneum is smaller than Pompeii but goodness me, there is a LOT to explore! Our guide Michael was so knowledgable and gave us valuable insights into the life and times when the town was at its' peak. It should be noted that entrance fees aren't included in the tour price it's stated on the Viator site, but some people on our bus purchased the tour via their hotel and they weren't told. We had Katrina as our host on the bus for both this tour and the Amalfi coast tour and she's lovely! The driver Alberto was great too.

Basically, this is a group bus ride to and from Herculaneum where you skip the line to get in. They also do hotel pick-up/drop-off, so for those who are less able to walk around, it's great. Be warned though - there are a few steps and the walk out of Herculaneum after the tour gives your legs a good workout!

Highly recommend visiting this place!

Tour guide passionate and knowledgeable.
