Traveler reviews
Fascinating history
We had a really nice day with Federico at Herculeneum. The drive was decent in a good minibus. The tour was fascinating with a good amount of information but not too much
Excellent excursion to Herculaneum
Excellent experience, super recommend! Great Federica and Ana!!! Thank you for making us spend a beautiful afternoon. Impeccable Spanish.
Must visit!
An unforgettable experience in Herculaneum from Naples. We have only words of thanks for all those who spoke: Ruben, with his particular joy, who waited patiently for us, Danilo, our kind driver who took us on the bus and Donatella, who infected us with his passion for History during the visit to the park. Thank you very much and we will definitely return!
Magnificent excursion!!
We arrived in Naples on a cruise ship, and although we were delayed by 1 hour due to technical problems, we were waiting. Ruben waited for us at the port patiently and the communication was smooth by message and call. He took us to the minibus where driver Danilo took us to the ruins of Herculaneum. On arrival Donatella was waiting to guide us around the park. Quite a luxury!!! Out of 10 highly recommended.
Very pleasant and illustrative visit.
Magnificent professionals, starting with Ruben who picked us up from the port terminal as Danilo the chauffeur and Donatella the guide that Herculaneum taught us and illustrated us in every detail of every place we saw. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit this place.
