Our guide will lead you through the ancient Ercolano, helping you discovery its streets, its fast food places, its thermae, from 2000 years ago, that have been brought to the light only in the past 300 years. In the year 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried everything around it under more than 20 feet (6 metres) of volcanic ash. As in Pompeii, many citizens of Herculaneum weren’t able to escape and the entire city was frozen in time by the lava. The guide will tell about eruption and distruction, but also about lives and loves of the people who lived in its fancy domus. Houses, public baths, taverns, temples and statues are almost perfectly preserved, giving unbelievable insight into what life was like for well-to-do families in the Roman Empire.
