HERCULANEUM GUIDED TOUR FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES

TOUR DETAILS

Designed specifically for families, this 2-hour tour of the ruins of Herculaneum, in the company of your own private guide, will delight all the family.

Select a departure time and the option that corresponds to your family size when booking so that the guide can ensure a tour based around your family’s needs. As you then explore this UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site you will learn about the destruction of this fascinating Roman city in 79 AD and the guide will ensure the kids are fully engaged by the use of trivia, games, photo contests and much more.

Your guide will meet you at the pre-arranged time and with the benefit of skip-the-line tickets your Herculaneum tour begins straight away, no queuing! This World Heritage site is in fact an outdoor museum that offers you an insight into a world frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This archaeological site has numerous buildings wonderfully preserved by the volcanic ash and larva and your guide will take you on a journey through the ancient ruins in a way that will appeal to the children. You will marvel at the excavations of temples, homes, shops and bath houses; see ancient art; learn about life in Herculaneum before 79 AD.

Herculaneum and the guide Florenza were the very pleasant surprises of our trip. Our children had fun and learend a lot, perhaps, more than in school. I recommend this tour to any family visiting the area. Patricia R., Toronto, Canada

Interactive activities have been specially designed to match points of cultural and historical significance so that as you walk around the site all of the family is educated and entertained at the same time. You will take part in a treasure hunt, hear stories of Hercules and sea monsters and much more, all designed to encourage the children to purposely explore the past and discover new things about a foreign culture.
