Full description
Wear your Augmented Reality smart glasses and enjoy a unique, innovative, and immersive walking tour at the archaeological site of Herculaneum. Travel back to 79 AC and see what Herculaneum's squares and houses looked like before being destroyed in a volcanic eruption. Meet your tour leader at Herculaneum main entrance and get kitted out with your glasses before listening to a quick introduction to how to use them. Then, begin your tour which has been designed by an archaeologist team to show you what life was like in Herculaneum before the eruption. The software of the glasses creates holograms that overlap the existing ruins, showing what the most significant temples, houses, and buildings originally looked like. Cast yourself into the bygone age of ancient life in Herculaneum, walking through the city to feel like a Roman.

Herculaneum is amazing. the audio tour was an excellent option and the AR was a nice if not completely necessary addition. Our guide, Luigi, was great and managed a couple of tough tourish situation very well. He offered some great extra information from the tour which was greatly appreciated.

Our guide Roberta was fabulous. She was really passionate about what she was doing. She was informative and answered all our questions. There were 2 children on the tour and she included them with everything. She was also extremely clever and was able to speak different languages. The 3D glasses that were needed showed a completely different view to the one we were actually seeing and was extremely clever. Roberta took her time with us and was really friendly and professional. I would give her a raise for her enthusiasm alone!
