Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle
Description
The Reggia of Caserta, a jewel in southern Italy, was built in 1750 by Bourbon King Charles of Naples. This royal palace features 1,200 lavish rooms and gardens that rival European contemporaries. Ciro, one of our local guides, says, ‘Discover what inspired architect Luigi Vanvitelli, looking closely at his work, and delve into the history of its 100-year construction during a pre-unified Italy.' Marvel at the illusion of the gardens that stretch to the horizon, with fountains, sculptures, and waterfalls inspired by classical mythology. Inside, walk up the immense Grand Staircase and explore the opulent Royal Apartments decorated with frescoes, gold, chandeliers, and baroque furniture. You'll also see the chapel and theater, a mini version of Naples’ Teatro San Carlo, which will leave you in awe. Don't miss the romantic English Gardens, perfect for photos of exotic plants and flowers. You'll hop on a shuttle bus to reach them, and when you arrive you'll be treated to a guided tour.

Beautiful experience, and the guide Francesca is fantastic! You can tell she loves her job and the passion she puts into telling the story.
A beautiful experience thanks to Alessia, our guide. Very skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly.
I participated in this guided tour alone, and I can say it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my stay. Alessia was an exceptional guide: knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and very meticulous. For about three hours, she accompanied us with explanations rich in details, curiosities, and interesting anecdotes, always managing to keep the group's attention high. What struck me the most was the passion with which she told the story and the details of this place. She managed to convey all her love for this place, making it even more appreciated and making the visit engaging and exciting. I absolutely recommend this experience and I extend my sincerest compliments to Alessia. Thank you for making this visit so special!
Visit to the Royal Palace of Caserta with Alessia, a very skilled and friendly guide! Precise and interesting explanations sprinkled with funny anecdotes and jokes! The best way to visit a charming place like the Royal Palace and its magnificent gardens.
Unique and incredible.. beyond all expectations.
Wonderful, with the knowledgeable and friendly guide Alessia.
We visited the Royal Palace as the final stop of a vacation in the Sorrento Peninsula. Our guide Novella led us on a private tour of the rooms and gardens with passion and expertise on the subject. Overall, a very satisfying experience. The only downside, which did not depend on the guide, was that the restrooms were not very clean, lacking toilet paper, and not all were functioning.
