Description
Dig up the ancient secrets of Herculaneum with a professional archaeologist!
Herculaneum, like Pompeii, was buried under volcanic lava in 79 AD, thus remaining untouched for the descendants. This city is a gift for archaeologists and researchers. The houses richly decorated with mosaics and frescoes, the artefacts and relics preserved under the ashes, played a key role in understanding how the ancient Romans lived.
Explore Herculaneum together with an archaeologist on a skip-the-line guided tour. Find out how the lava's carbonisation helped save mosaics, dishes, clothes, human corps, and even organic food remains. Learn archaeologists' tricks and methods to explore valuable and very fragile objects. And for a day, feel like you are a citizen of an ancient Roman city!
