The tour was cancelled due to low numbers and not due to any fault on my behalf. I have not received any refund 7 days later.

Excellent tour, both Walter and Hannah had a lot of knowledge to share around the volcanic activity and the archaeological site. Their passion was evident and made the tour very informative. Thank you

It was great seeing most of Herculaneum, but our guide, although very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject, unfortunately had a strong Italian accent and spoke quickly, so I didn't get as much out of the tour as I'd hoped.

The whole experience was enjoyable. The pickup was well handled and the leader was very knowledgeable and her command of several languages was significant.

The homes with well preserved mosaics were splendid. Our tour guide, Raphael, spoke heavily accented English in a low voice and was often difficult to understand or hear. Instead of moving along at a reasonable pace, he often stopped a long time in some places to lecture us on the basics of Roman Empire history and culture as though we were a grade school class with no previous knowledge of the subject. He frequently went off on tangents speaking about that were not relevant to Herculaneum. When he did speak about what were we’re seeing it was in excessive, long winde minute detail. It was an excruciatingly boring experience because of the guide.

It was a small group but most of the group spoke Spanish. The guide tried very hard but he couldn’t really do what we had at Pompeii with an English only tour. Not his fault. If it had been clear that it was not an English only tour I would have chosen another option.

Tour guide very knowledgeable. This is a good tour if you already did Pompeii or you just want a shorter less physically demanding tour. The driver managed the heavy traffic well. We had to be back to the ship by 6:30 and we were back in plenty of time.

a very convenient way to see the highlights of Herculaneum : a short drive from central Naples, no need to queue for tickets, and a guided tour of the museum and archaeological site by English-speaking Raphael : Herculaneum attracts fewer tourists than Pompeii but the site is more compact and the buildings better preserved : our tour was conducted at a pleasant pace and we weren’t competing with crowds of people

The tour is too short, 1.5 hours is not enough to visit Herculaneum (Ercolano). The price charged by Viator for such a short activity is too high.

Unfortunately our tour was late leaving Rome due to a no-show. Our tour guide was friendly but because he was accommodating two separate groups simultaneously (English and Spanish) it was difficult to follow. He spoke very quickly and didn’t always give context…the narrative didn’t follow a storyline. He was clearly passionate about the site and how it’s (better) different to Pompeii. The site is worth a visit but I was disappointed with the tour.
