Our guide, Walter, was truly excellent: both in terms of his empathy with the tour participants and, above all, his expertise. The only drawback—which wasn’t the organization’s fault—was the extreme heat, which obviously prevented us from spending much time in the various areas to explore them in greater depth.

It was a truly fascinating tour. Our guide, Valter, treated us like old friends, combining professionalism with engaging commentary throughout the visit. He didn’t bore us with lists of dates and names that might have made the tour tedious, but instead fostered a two-way discussion about the main events, including some anecdotes that made the tour truly priceless. His thorough knowledge of the subject matter and his down-to-earth manner made the tour top-notch. Two hours flew by without us even noticing. Kudos to the organizers, but above all, kudos to Valter for his professionalism.

Our guide, Valter, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful tour with detailed and clear explanations of everything we saw. Certainly, a building or monument of this caliber is an incredible achievement. In addition to Vanvitelli’s genius and the enlightened minds of the Bourbon kings…we must also give credit to the workers, artisans, stonemasons, marble workers, cabinetmakers, sculptors, painters, gardeners, and many others who contributed to the creation of such opulence and beauty there. I believe this could not be replicated today.

We never would have expected to see such a marvel. The Royal Palace of Caserta is perfectly preserved; the furnishings, paintings, and decorative items are splendid and can be viewed up close. The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the staff are very helpful and kind.

A wonderful day at the Royal Palace of Caserta Our guide, Serena Bertolino, welcomed us with a lovely smile; she was truly delightful and shared a wealth of interesting and detailed information with us. Thank you

Gear up to explore the grandeur of Europe’s largest palace! Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli in 1774, the Royal Palace of Caserta is a masterpiece of opulence, often compared to Versailles and Royal Palace of Madrid.

Get a taste of royalty

Your journey starts at the Palatine Chapel, with its stunning frescoes. Ascend the grand staircase, with its 116 marble steps and statues that give you a royal welcome. On the upper floor, see the Throne Room, Astrea Room’s celestial motifs, and the Four Seasons Room, where art meets nature. With your guide’s insights, each room reveals stories beyond its beauty.

Conclude at the Kings apartments

End your journey in the opulent apartments of Joachim Murat, Napoleon’s brother-in-law, and former King of Naples. These lavish rooms gives us a glimpse into the royal lifestyle of the past, all while your guide peppers the experience with fun, historical anecdotes. The tour concludes with a stroll through the palace’s vast gardens, a perfect way to relax after your deep dive into history.
