Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at Parco Archeologico di Ercolano – guided tour begins
Meet your licensed guide at the Herculaneum archaeological park entrance. The guide will assist at the ticket area (skip-the-line guidance where possible), then lead a structured walk through the excavated streets, houses and public buildings while explaining the site's history and daily life before Vesuvius's eruption.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start at the main entrance on Corso Resina to allow time for group check-in and to collect any required earphones.
- Wear closed, comfortable shoes and bring a lightweight layer — parts of the site are exposed to sun and uneven surfaces.
- Carry a small reusable water bottle; there are limited drinking options immediately at the site entrance.
Local specialties tasting & handcrafted items (short stop)
A short, focused stop for tasting local specialties and seeing traditional handcrafted items as noted in the agenda. This stop follows the guided portion and is timed as a brief tasting/shopping opportunity to sample local flavors and view artisanal products.
Tips from local experts:
- If you wish to sample limoncello, mention this to the guide so the stop can be coordinated quickly within the allotted time.
- Keep purchases small and compact — the stop is brief and you will be moving after; fragile items should be handled carefully or packed immediately.
- If you need a quieter moment as a couple, ask the guide to point out a nearby bench or shaded spot close to the meeting place.
