    Herculaneum is fabulous but this tour ruins it
    tom_g, May 2024
    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.
    Great value, great guide

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

    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
    Interessant, mais aurait pu être encore mieux si la guide avait pris le temps de nous donner plus d’explications…
    Yann_J, Apr 2024
    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 sympathique d’ercolano

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