Meet your expert guide at the entrance of Herculaneum for an immersive walking tour with priority access. Begin at the House of the Wooden Partition to admire a rare, intact wooden screen absent in Pompeii. Continue to the House of Neptune and Amphitrite to view lavish private baths and breathtaking glass-paste wall mosaics of marine deities. At the Urban Baths, trace Roman engineering through subfloor hypocaust heating across the calidarium, tepidarium, and frigidarium. Next, explore the multi-level House of the Deer and House of the Bicentenary, showcasing aristocratic wealth with vibrant frescoes and seaside views. Finally, descend to the ancient beachfront boathouses (Fornici), where locals sought refuge during Vesuvius's 79 AD eruption, concluding your journey with a poignant look into the city's final hours.
