Experience the best of Herculaneum

Contrast the vast scale of Pompeii with the intimate, finely preserved details of Herculaneum, all with one simple, fast-track entry combo ticket.

Breeze past the queues at Herculaneum and wander through well-preserved streets, frescoed villas, ancient bathhouses, and the impressive House of the Deer.

Enter Pompeii at a reserved time to avoid long waiting lines, and explore the Forum, amphitheatre, ancient baths, the House of the Faun, and the moving plaster casts of victims.

Enjoy complete flexibility at both sites, giving you more time to truly absorb the stories, atmosphere, and everyday life preserved within.

Book your entry ticket and the park's official audio guide together in advance. Arrive at any point during opening hours and head straight inside without worrying about the ticket office queue.

Work through 63 geo-localised listening points at your own pace, with 150 minutes of expert adult commentary and a dedicated 40-minute narration path designed specifically for younger visitors.

The guide was built by the park's own archaeological team, and the difference is evident in every stop, from the forensic account of the eruption to the social history written into each household you walk through.

Unlock immersive 360° virtual tours narrated by park director Francesco Sirano, reconstructing the city as it stood before Vesuvius sealed it in the autumn of 79 AD.

The audio guide is available in Italian, Spanish, English, French, and German. Collect your device at the desk on arrival, leave a valid photo ID as deposit, and the site is yours for the day.

Explore Herculaneum the easy way, with a seamless all-in-one package that includes round-trip transfers from Naples or Sorrento.

Your guide is a working archaeologist who can explain why Herculaneum is, in some ways, even more impressive than its more famous neighbor Pompeii.

Walk through the Samnite House, the thermal baths, the Forum, the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, and the haunting boat sheds at the ancient waterfront.

See carbonized wood, vivid mosaics, and intact upper floors—pyroclastic flow sealed it all in like a time capsule for nearly 2,000 years.

Make it a full-day trip by adding a guided tour of Pompeii, with round-trip transfers available from Naples or a one-way transfer directly from Pompeii for added flexibility.

Just your group and one dedicated archaeologist. No shared queues, no shared commentary, no compromises on where you go or how long you stay.

Your guide isn't following a fixed route. They're building the visit around your group's specific curiosities, whether that's the forensic detail of the eruption, the social hierarchy written into the houses, or the remarkable organic materials — wood, food, textiles — that no other Roman site has preserved quite like this.

Explore the Samnite House, Forum Baths, Temple of the Augustales, and the House of Neptune and Amphitrite with the kind of depth and pace that a group of 20 simply never allows.

Stand at the waterfront boathouses, where over 300 residents were found exactly as the surge left them in 79 AD. Ask every question you have, without an audience or a clock.

When the guided portion ends, your group is free to stay and keep exploring the site independently.

Travel stress-free with round-trip air-conditioned coach or minivan transfers and a central Naples pick-up point: no logistics to figure out, no trains to catch, just show up and go.

Follow your expert guide through Pompeii's vast archaeological site with skip-the-line entry, moving through the Forum, ancient baths, taverns, and bakeries, and pausing at the haunting plaster casts that capture the city's final moments in extraordinary detail.

Step into Herculaneum for a quieter, more intimate chapter of the same story. Intact villas, vivid mosaics, carbonised wooden furniture, and everyday objects that survived the eruption in a way Pompeii's never could.

Cover two of the most significant archaeological sites in the world in a single, well-paced day, without the planning, the ticket queues, or the guesswork of doing it independently.

Tailor the day to your group: add a sit-down lunch between the two sites to break up the visit, or upgrade to a live archaeologist guide at either or both sites for deeper context and a richer understanding of what you're actually looking at.

A unique adventure awaits as you visit two marvels in one day: Mount Vesuvius and either Herculaneum or Pompeii.

Round-trip transfers from Naples and skip-the-line access ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit to these iconic historical sites.

Feel the excitement of hiking up the Vesuvian crater on the Gran Cono trail and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples.

Explore Pompeii, a city once bustling with everything from public baths to markets and even brothels, a vivid snapshot of ancient life.

Or, uncover the wonders of Roman history at Herculaneum, where you’ll find exquisitely preserved relics and ancient scrolls at the Villa dei Papyri.

Want the entire picture? Cover all three sites, Vesuvius, Pompeii, and Herculaneum for an all-round perspective of the eruption and its aftermath.

Take in panoramas of the Naples Gulf on a scenic train ride before turning the hidden corners of Herculaneum on a captivating tour.

Skip past queues and follow an expert guide around the marketplaces, boathouse, and temple structures of this UNESCO-listed site.
