Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

This guided walking tour explores the excavated ruins of Herculaneum, which was buried during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and remained undiscovered until 1709. Your 2-hour guided walking tour takes you through amazingly well-preserved Roman villas with portico gardens, fountains and baths. The highlights include stunning wall frescoes and intricate floor mosaics. Afterwards, you'll re-board the motorcoach for a 30-minute ride to a cameo factory where artisans have honed their craft for generations. Shop for handmade seashell and coral jewelry, including intricately carved brooches, rings and bracelets before returning to Salerno where your ship is docked.

Special Notes:

For security reasons, it is forbidden to enter inside Herculaneum excavations with big bags, backpacks or trolleys. Please be aware that, since lockers are not available, it is recommended to leave them inside the coach.
Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
