Herculaneum Guided Tour with Skip-the-Line Tickets: Discover Ancient Ruins

Luciano Leone is a fantastic guide. He has a great feel for the group and draws you into his world. He’s a true archaeologist with a passion for his subject. I learned a lot and gained a unique insight into both the lives of the Romans and that of an archaeologist. Please note: the meeting point is at the entrance to Herculaneum, NOT at the top of the hill as shown in the photo.

Before going to Italy we hadn't heard of Herculaneum, but got recommended. We were blown away, the guide was amazing, giving lots of facts and information but well timed and funny as well. The artifacts at Herculaneum as fascinating, you really can see how people lived. The skeletons in the arches are so humbling. The preservation is unbelievable A must see for anyone holidaying in Italy. Definetly recommending to my friends and family

This was the best of 3 tours we went on, others being Pompeii and the Vatican. Giovanni kindly phoned us beforehand to make sure we were on our way. We could use bathroom beforehand. Giovanni was not only knowledgeable but interesting too and had us captivated. He wanted us to ask questions. Hardly had time to stop for photographs but there was a lot to see. He had change of earpieces for those that didn't work. These were the most comfortable of all and didn't keep falling of ear like others did. It's very dusty there so don't wear best clothes! As most people say, I preferred Herculaneum to Pompeii because you feel like you've seen it all unlike Pompeii where you only see a small section really as it's so vast. It was Giovanni that made the tour and came away feeling very happy.
