Traveler reviews
Herculaneum Tour Review- Great experience
The tour was fantastic. The meeting location was easy. Getting there was smooth, and the tour was incredible. The team of Josephine(World Tours Guide), Danilo (driver) and Ranieri (Herculaneum guide) were fantastic. My wife and I learned a lot and enjoyed seeing a lot of the restored history of the site. Now if you’re debating between seeing Pompeii and Herculaneum, we preferred Pompeii. It was much larger and more to see. Granted, that was our first tour, so we could feel that way because we saw that first and were awed by it. Nonetheless, everything was incredible and if you have doubts about booking, just book because it’s a privilege to see everything.
Recommended tour
Dayana was attentive at all times, friendly, and professional. Giovanni is a good driver. Thank you, Patrizía, for all your explanations and clarifications. Everyone has done a great job and a highly recommended tour.
Perfect end to my holiday
Excellent organisation, by Dayana, Giovanni (Driver) and Nina. I had Nina as a guide on arrival to Herculean. She was very knowledgeable and I have learned lots. The pick up time was arranged by Dayana and the day before introduced herself via WhatsApp. Coach was comfortable. Herculean does not really have much shade, my advice have some wet wipes to freshen up and carry some water. Along with wearing good sturdy trainers (sneakers).
Herculaneum tour
