Guided Tour of the Herculaneum Ruins

A City Buried by Vesuvius

Discover the Ruins of Herculaneum, one of the ancient world’s most extraordinary archaeological treasures, on a guided tour with Angelo Petillo, a licensed tour guide for the Campania Region.


Herculaneum offers an astonishing level of preservation where time seems to have stood still, revealing two-story buildings, vivid frescoes, and organic materials that allow us to understand daily life two thousand years ago in a direct and intimate way.


The itinerary winds through wealthy patrician domus and simple common houses, passing by artisan workshops, commercial businesses, and the city's thermal bath complexes. We will walk through a living urban fabric, always set against the backdrop of the cataclysmic eruption of 79 AD that crystallized this place until the present day—all enriched by historical details that bring the past back to life.
