Ancient Herculaneum Private Tour

Herculaneum
2 hours

Visiting ancient Herculaneum, in the bay of Naples, is an experience that will last for a long time. There are no other ancient cities which can compare to Herculaneum for its amazing state of preservation after the city was covered under a pyroclastic flow during the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius in AD79. Herculaneum is famous for the well preserved frescoes, mosaics, wooden partitions, furniture and many other petrified organic materials which are so important to understand its life.

Herculaneum private walking tour

Two thousand years ago, Herculaneum was the best choice for a nobleman looking for a peaceful and enchanting place to enjoy a holiday at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. With its sumptuous villas that overlooked the sea, terraces and gardens with colorful flowers where one could read a book and seek solace from the busy winter, it boasted an elegant theatre for live performance, a big gymnasium surrounded by marble columns, magnificent bath houses and bronze statues. Herculaneum was a delight.

Visiting Kyoto

My family visited from Hawaii and was able to communicate easily with Hiroko, speaking “pidgin” English. Hiroko took us to all the sights we wanted to see, never rushing us and stayed with us long past the scheduled end time. We are looking forward to another tour we scheduled with her in Osaka. We highly recommend you to book a tour with her.

Wonderful experience

Kazu was very well prepared and flexible. We had wonderful tour and history lesson. He even helped us to book tickets to the airport. We strongly recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a guide in Kyoto. A+++++++++

Thank you for your wonderful review. Even though it was fall, I think you must have been tired from walking around in the hot weather. I'm sorry about that. Did you go to Arashiyama today? There are many other temples, shrines in Kyoto that are not so crowded, so I hope you will be able to visit a variety of places as long as you have time. And I hope this tour will be a very memorable trip in Japan. Thank you!!

Tokyo tour

Went on a tour of Tokyo with our lovely guide Chiaki. Chiaki was an absolute delight! *prompt - Chiaki arrived at our hotel ahead of meeting time *courteous - so kind, so polite *helpful - willing to arrange our day to best suit our compressed timeline, find the perfect lunch spot, and plan our return to our hotel later without her via subway by providing a map and a post -it note with detailed train and transfer information *knowledgeable - whether questions about the city, the trains, or historical/cultural questions, Chiaki cheerfully shared her knowledge

Hi Rick, thank you so much for your wonderful words! You must be writing this review in the Shinkansen. It was a hot and humid day today so you must be tired. Thank you for your taking time to post it. I spent a lovely day with you and your beautiful family. I hope you enjoy your days in Kyoto and safely go back home. Please visit Japan again with your son and stay longer. Send my best wishes to Barbara and Victoria! Thank you again!
