What to expect

Explore Herculaneum with cutting-edge Augmented Reality technology. Over the ruins, you can admire the reconstructions of buildings and interior environments.

Herculaneum is an ancient Roman town located in the Campania region of Italy. Along with Pompeii, it was one of the cities that were buried under volcanic ash and preserved by the catastrophic Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Exploring Herculaneum is a unique opportunity to witness the remarkable preservation of an ancient Roman town. You can walk into the daily life, art, and architecture of that period. Visit the archaeological site with the support of a tour assistant who will accompany you during your visit. Get to see the ruins rebuilt with AR glasses and listen to the story in your language.

    Traveled as a couple


    Es war alles gut organisiert. Der Anbieter trat vorher mit uns in Kontakt und teilte uns mit Hilfe von Google Maps den genauen Treffpunkt mit. Unser Guidegabe sich viel Mühe uns alles zu erklären und die 3D Animation wir super.

    Traveled with a group of friends


    È stata un esperienza veramente interessante che ci ha dato modo di scoprire le origini della città di napoli. La guida Giuseppe è stata super coinvolgente ed ha spiegato in modo esaustivo le peculiarità della splendida città di Ercolano. La cosa che più abbiamo apprezzato è stata proprio esaustiva sotto tutti i punti di vista dandoci modo sia di conoscere al meglio ercolano e sia di avere consigli e informazioni sulla città di Napoli sia a livello storico-culturale che a livello culinario.TOP

    Bellissimo sito, ben tenuto e con un ottimo servizio. Con gli occhiali 3D si potrebbe anche riproporre la visione dell' eruzione come viene fatto nel museo.

    A really good tour led by a very knowledgeable guide. The 3D glasses brought the buildings to life, and I would not have realised how brightly decorated everything was without them. There are certain buildings that you use them in, not everywhere.
