Herculaneum Small Group Tour and Ticket With an Archaeologist

Luciano Leones's tour of Herculaneum is a must. Peppered with delicious anecdotes, a dynamic, witty and informative introduction to this most amazing site by an experienced archeologist and guide. What a visit!

Highly recommended.

Very interesting place. Very knowledgeable guide. We choose Herculaneum over Pompeii as it is smaller and more manageable for a older person. Would definitely recommend it.

Our guide, Luciano Leone at ASKOS was excellent. Not just knowledgeable but interesting and fun. Really brought Herculaneum back to life.

Luciano was fantastic .. he provided vivid details with pictures and words … and lots of humour … very knowledgeable… brilliant …

Loved the fact it was a small group and he made us feel good together

Fantastico

We booked this after having enjoyed the Askos tour in Pompei. Luciano Leone did not disappoint. His tour was informative with the help of visual aids it was possible to imagine then and now.

Luciano was knowledgable and enthusiastic and we really enjoyed the tour

Herculaneum was a real treat. We went after visiting pompei and the two sites are very different and complementary. I recommend visiting bith if you can fit it. Luciano was a fantastic guide. We arrived a little later due to train issues and we were able to catch up with the group. Askos was fantastic in helping us and we highly recommend the tour. If you decide to do Pompeii and Herculaneum in one day with two visits, we'd recommend booking it with the company. We travelled on our own and really struggled with delayed trains. If you’re with a group, you won't run late.

Thanks to Gennaro for an excellent guided tour. He really managed to bring the ruins to life with his clear, succinct and relevant explanations. He provided just the right amount of detail to keep everyone engaged, and always knew the answer when anyone asked a more detailed question.

Thanks again, Geoff

This was an extraordinary trip that gave us insight into this ancient town. The guide covered the history, culture, commerce and lifestyle of these ancient Romans, as well as the destruction of the city by Volcanic eruption. Highly recommended.

This was a fantastic trip, well worth the money. Gennaro, our tour guide was very knowledgeable as well as being entertaining. A poignant experience vividly brought back to life. The on site museum was a bonus.

If you're planning a visit to Herculaneum, I highly recommend as your tour guide. As a knowledgeable archaeologist, Luciano brings the ancient ruins to life with a deep understanding of the site's history and excavation. His expertise and passion for the subject are evident in every aspect of the tour, offering fascinating insights into the lives of those who lived there before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Luciano's engaging storytelling and ability to answer even the most detailed questions make the experience unforgettable. If you want to truly understand and appreciate Herculaneum, Luciano is the guide you need.
