Herculaneum for kids and the Adults loved it too

Susan_K, Aug 2022

Our grandaughter aged 4 was enthralled by the way that our Vincenzo, our guide explained things of interest to her and together they played games to explain what they saw. We were picked up on time and travelled in a comfortable minivan. Our daughter uses a wheelchair so Vincenzo guided us through the easiest paths. Herculaneum is challenging with a wheelchair but there are slopes and ramps. It was hard work but made the trip possible. Vincenzo explained about Herculaneum in a very interesting way and produced little games and stickers as well as a simplified map along the way to help our grandaughter ( and us ) understand. She was given the map and a booklet of further games colouring and activities devised by Vincenzo. It is a fabulous site and well worth the visit with many intact frescoes and mosaics.Visiting with Vincenzo made the trip amazing.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Susan, thanks for you delightful review, we are so glad to understand that your family-friendly tour works. We will let Vincenzo read your words. Grazie! Fabrizio
