Herculaneum 3d Skip The Line Walking Tour

Very friendly host. Gentle pace around 2 hours. Very informative. 3d a great option to see the region before the eruption and understand how people lived. We were late due to train issues. Suggest arrive early...

FANTASTIC, REALLY RECOMMEND!! The tour was fantastic in every way, the 3D glasses added another element to show how people really lived, the site itself was remarkably preserved and our tour guide Alyssa was absolutely brilliant, she was very informative and went at a very good pace.

The VR is simple but effective. It added a nice dimension to the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and very personable. It is not a big site and this tour seemed to cover all the basics with an interesting twist.

Overall, this was a great experience. We had a wonderful tour guide, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Using 3D technology to see rendering of the past was helpful, although the headset around your neck for the duration of the tour is a bit tiring. All that said, we would do this same tour again. Thank you so much!

The glasses are barely useful and the recorded commentary with them is not only brief and boring but only available at a few fixed points where the glasses are activated. The tour guide merely shuffles the group from one place to another before telling you to turn the glasses on again. This means that you are whisked past 99% of the site without a moment to appreciate or learn anything at all. After two stops this was obvious, so we handed the glasses back and started the tour again having completely wasted our time spent with the pleasant but useless guide.

It was great being able to compare Herculaneum and Pompeii and see all the important places with a local, knowledgeable guide was spectacular.

Thanks to Chiara ,that is a lovely young woman, we could walk throug the Ercolano Ruins discovering by the 3d glasses what it should have look like , its colours, daily life , architecture. Ercolano is a smaller but different site from Pompei but also worthing a visit to understand how the eruption affected differently . Thanks Chiara

Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable about the site and daily life of its inhabitants. The 3D technology was amazing for helping visualize the site as it was at its glory.

Herculaneum is a must see when visiting Naples; for us, the 3D tour and guide was the right choice. Chiara our guide was knowledgeable, bubbly and enthusiastic. In combination with the 3D glasses, Chiara brought Herculaneum to life for us. We overhead other tourists without guides theorising about the function and purpose of rooms and structures and missing by a mile; pay for a guide is our advice, visit in the morning when it is quieter and temperature is less hot and go for the 3D experience which will help to visualise various houses and streets as they were when Herculaneum was a bustling and thriving town.

Having visited Pompeii a few years ago, I have wanted to visit Ercolaneo Scavi which did during my three week stay in Rome. A former parishioner whom I baptized and I traveled by train to Naples and then on the local to Ercolaneo Scavi to see ancient Herculaneum. The guide was excellent and her knowledge of the site was remarkable. We really enjoyed our visit. I will return!

After visiting Pompeii we decided to book this. Whilst Herculanium is amazing and well worth your time, don't bother with this. We were escorted by a guide who at certain points just advised us to put glasses on and press a button for an audio presentation. The tech didn't perform that well as it was raining. Would have much preferred the guide to inform us. Either just pay to get into the ruins or go with a professional guide,

Just myself and my 10 year old took the tour. It was a really amazing way to see the ruins. You essentially walked around and then at key locations put the glasses and headphones on and the IT your guide would play the view to your headset. It was an enlightening experience! Its worth noting your don't get an actual Tour Guide who will tell you all about the ruins (which was slightly disappointing) but my daughter loved it and we wandered around for another hour when the tour was done. Way better than Pompeii!!

This was by far the coolest and impressive tour my wife and I have done in Italy. Not only was the technology outstanding, our tour guide Daniela was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the site, super friendly and accommodated all our needs. She also handled a stressful situation of part of our group not arriving on time like a true professional, effortlessly leading my wife and I on our tour, all while handling and coordinating the missing groups needs. Bravo Daniela! As mentioned, the technology is truly a unique way to experience the ruins. It is worth every penny, giving you a peek into Roman history like you have never experienced before. As an AR developer and educator, it was great to see the technology in practice. I can’t wait to see how your company grows the possibilities of tourism with AR. Once you add spatial tracking and occlusion to the reconstructions, you’ll have something even more magical then it already is. Next time I offer my AR term abroad course in Florence, I’ll definitely look you all up to see what tours I can schedule for my students. Cheers! Fernando Orellana

Très belle expérience. Cette Visite a été très instructive et la possibilité de visualiser les reconstructions virtuelle-ment permet de mieux comprendre la cité d'Herculanum . Encore merci à notre guide pour sa gentillesse, sa patience et ses commentaires. Une expérience à faire, et dans notre cas avant celle de Pompei, nous a permis d'avoir une approche différente. Je recommande vivement.

C’est une façon sympa de découvrir Herculanum. Cependant, mon avis est mitigé car mes lunettes ne fonctionnaient pas très bien. J’avais toujours un décalage entre les explications et ce que je voyais. La Guide a essayé de régler le problème mais à chaque fois cela se reproduisait. . En pratique, il s’agit d’une promenade d’environ 1h30 dans les ruines d’Herculanum, avec huit zones sur lesquelles on active les lunettes. C’est tout de même intéressant même pour des adultes. À la fin de cette visite on peut rester aussi longtemps que souhaité sur le site pour prendre le temps de voir les autres lieux non inclus dans les explications avec les lunettes. À noter que nous avons attendu 25 minutes avant de débuter la visite… Enfin, je pensais que la Guide nous donnerait davantage d’explications. En pratique nous n’avons pas eu beaucoup plus d’informations que celles de l’audio guide en français.

Visite instructive sans être barbante. La vision reconstituée apporte vraiment un plus. On en veut encore plus ! Merci pour cette initiative.

Unique and particular experience, enriched by the knowledge and friendliness of our guide Roberta. Greetings from Alberto and Deianira from Cavalleggeri

The idea of 3d glasses is good but with the feeling that the guided tour was a little light in terms of explanations.
