Why choose this tour ?
A marvellous archaeological walk at the discovery of the ancient cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, both buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. With this tour, you’ll start your journey in Herculaneum. Smaller than Pompeii but incredibly well-preserved, this ancient city offers a unique glimpse into Roman life. Your licensed expert Archaeologist guide will take you through remarkable highlights such as wooden doors, intricate frescoes, and the ancient beach where more than 300 skeletons were uncovered. After this fascinating visit, take a quick break before continuing to Pompeii. Here, your guide will show you the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Forum – the heart of Pompeii’s social and political life – as well as its grand houses, public buildings, and the famous plaster casts of the victims frozen in time by the eruption. This immersive experience will give you an unforgettable understanding of life in these two extraordinary ancient cities.

The house receives its name from marble statues of stags/deer found in the peristyle.
M. Nonius Balbus was the city's major benefactor restoring and building many public buildings. On his death he was made patron and feted with many honours, detailed in the long inscription on his funeral altar.
It is thought that the building was a centre of the cult of the Emperor Augustus and the headquarters of the Collegium Augustalium (or possibly even the local curia).
The house possibly belonged to one of the town's leading benefactors, Marcus Nonius Balbus and is somewhat unusual in that it has its own private access to the adjoining Suburban Thermae to the south.
It is very important house for the elegant wooden partition remained.
The House of the Skeleton probably the aggregation of three smaller buildings, derives its name from the discovery of human remains in a second floor room in 1831.
The Central Thermae were built around the beginning of the 1st century AD and were divided, as was then the common practice, into men's and women's baths, each with their own separate entrances.
The House of the Black Hall is one of Herculaneum's more luxurious mansions. The house has a monumental entrance which still retains the carbonised remains of the doorposts and lintel.
The house has an arrangement that was typical of the Samnites (an ancient people of the Sabine race who occupied this mountainous part of central Italy). The splendid atrium is skirted by a gallery with Ionic columns. The rooms are decorated with frescoes.
This is one of the most original houses in Herculaneum. It has a courtyard with a stairway and a stone balcony instead of an atrium.
Beautiful domus in the Centre of the archaeological area, with various environments, collonnati, frescos e-com everywhere at Herculaneum-charred remains of wooden parts.
