Step into the heart of the ancient Roman world with this exclusive group tour of Herculaneum and Pompeii, two of the most extraordinary UNESCO archaeological sites in the world. Designed for travelers seeking the very best, this all-inclusive cultural journey includes two 2-hour group tours, one in Herculaneum and one in Pompeii, led by certified professional archaeologists, with skip-the-line tickets included.

This immersive experience allows you to witness the striking contrasts between the two cities: the astonishingly preserved villas of Herculaneum, with wooden structures, mosaics, and frescoes safeguarded for centuries beneath volcanic material, and the vibrant, bustling streets of Pompeii, frozen in time at the moment of the eruption. Accompanied by your archaeologist guide, you will uncover hidden stories, architectural marvels, and the vivid humanity that once defined these ancient civilizations.

You will begin your experience in Herculaneum and continue in Pompeii. Travel between the two sites is simple and authentic via the Circumvesuviana railway, connecting Ercolano Scavi and Pompei Scavi / Villa dei Misteri, usually with a change at Torre Annunziata. Train tickets are not included to provide maximum flexibility, while private transfers can be arranged upon request for a smoother, premium experience. The day is fully flexible: the Herculaneum tour starts at 11:30 am followed by Pompeii.
