The bus was on time and the courier really friendly. Parked nice and close so not a long walk into the site. We even had a bottle of water given to us when we got on the bus which was amazing. The archaeological tour guide was very interesting and walked at a slower pace as some of us had walking aids. He stopped and allowed us to take many photos and it wasn't rushed and we had plenty of time to explore the gift shop. There was nothing we didn't like.
Don't pass up the chance to visit Herculaneum from Naples, once the favoured destination of affluent Romans. After a prolonged dormancy, Vesuvius awoke on August 24, 79 AD, unleashing an apocalyptic eruption that obliterated the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Discovered in the 18th century, Herculaneum has since become one of the world's most renowned archaeological sites.
Smaller than Pompeii, Herculaneum can be thoroughly explored in just an hour and a half. Presently, the archaeological site showcases numerous landmarks, including the House with the Mosaic Atrium, the House of the Deer, the Thermal Spas of the Forum, and the House of the Mosaic of Neptune and Amphitrite, among others, all worthy of exploration.
As you traverse the streets of Herculaneum, you not only gain a unique insight into the Romans' private lives but also feel the panic that gripped the inhabitants during the volcanic eruption. It's akin to stepping into a time machine, walking amidst the historical buildings of the ancient Roman town buried by the ashes of Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption.
