Practical Info

This special tour is not only made-for-children – to arouse their interest – but mainly made-by-children-on-tour: kids will be the actual guides of the excursion finding their way through our special map. Through games, riddles, clues, mimes, etc..the map of the Ancient City will come to life with its inhabitants.

During the visit, some games will award the kids of little characters to stick to the map – which they can take home.

At the end of tour, each child will be provided with our original Herculaneum4Kids Activity-Book to continue the discovery of Herculaneum and the Roman World on their own.

The aim of the tour is to provide families or small groups with children with a chance to visit the highlights of the Archaeological area without the risk of getting tired or bored.

We booked a private Herculaneum tour for our family of five (kids aged 12, 11, and 8)in December. We chose Herculaneum over Pompeii because it is smaller, more preserved, and less crowded. Our guide was Federica, and she was absolutely amazing. She helped the children to learn about the history in a fun way, yet had valuable information for the adults as well. This tour was one of our kids favourite parts of our Italy trip, as well as a highlight for my husband and me.
