Visita a las excavaciones de Herculano con un arqueólogo

Ilaria really came through for us! We reached out on short notice and she arranged a tour with Paola(an archeologist like herself) of Herculaneum. The tour was excellent! We learned so much about the culture/society through the ruins and artifacts. We will definitely contact Ilaria when we can go back and tour Pompeii! Thank you Ilaria!!

Really well preserved, clean, easy access to the whole old town. Two perfectly preserved domuses give an idea of how people lived 2,100 years ago, a city that already had underground sewers and latrines running water. Then the highlight are the thermal baths, the best preserved in Italy, mosaics and frescoes complete the whole. Two wonderful gems, a spectacular and beautifully preserved villa overlooking the sea and the charred remains of the bodies at the old port, a tangible sign of the end of the city after the volcano eruption, beautifully told by Pliny. A tip, if you go given the very acceptable price of access 16 € and free for children aged 14, I recommend you take a guide “we led by Mr Massimo splendid polite and very prepared, lover of his work” to understand well how the city worked. Don't forget to visit the museum inside the park, which houses splendid artifacts found during excavations, some of them very rich , gold and bronze, statues and glass accessories of splendid workmanship and priceless wealth. I hope I have helped you and encouraged you to see this beautiful archaeological park.

We had already had Ilaria as a guide in Pompeii and once again we got to appreciate the expertise and great passion for the work she does! Congratulations again soon!

Our guide, Ilaria, was simply the best and highly recommended. A few days before our tour, she had contacted me direct by email to introduce herself and give details of where exactly to meet her on the morning of our tour, to which I replied, telling her a little about myself, family and our interests. The tour itself proved a delight! Ilaria is a born communicator, engaging, highly knowledgeable, welcomed questions and proved v good company as we explored Herculaneum together. More than this, we got both her personal insights as a working archaeologist and particular enthusiasms: the things that have truly captured her imagination amid the myriad wonders of this truly awe-inspiring ancient site. Thank you Ilaria for a truly magical and inspiring tour of Herculaneum. Highly, highly recommended.

Knowledgeable guide who knew the history and made it interesting. Can tell she has been doing this a long time and enjoys it. It was very hot and she did her best to minimize that.

Luciano Leone was our guide and was excellent. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. As an archaeologist, Luciano gave us detailed insights into the site, the work done and how people lived there. I would thoroughly recommend a tour with him. The sire is worth visiting, but a knowledgeable guide such as Luciano makes it excellent.

Ilara was amazing and kept all of interested and amazed by her knowledge! She went out of her way to make this visit for us and appreciated her so much!! Highly recommend!! ❤️

Spectacular excavation park, small and can be visited in a day compared to Pompeii, kind and knowledgeable staff, highly recommended.

I had been missing from the site for over a decade. Reviewing the excavations with a competent and trained guide, who made us relive the life of the town's inhabitants with detailed descriptions, was truly exciting. Compliments.

We visited a very well preserved and constantly evolving site. The guide Ilaria, very knowledgeable, accompanied us with a careful and detailed "story" of the site, enriching her explanations with many curiosities.
