Herculaneum is an absolute gem! Being in the area we decided to book a tour of the ruins and it was a fantastic decision. The ruins are much more enjoyable with a guide. Our daughter had a lot of questions and the guide made sure to always answer in an age-appropriate manner. I would recommend this tour!
