First of all, the punctuality and not having to wait in line for tickets. We were also lucky because there were supposed to be four of us (two couples), but the others didn’t show up, so it turned into a private tour for us. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable; we’re from Parma, so we already knew a lot about the Farnese family, but she helped us delve into new details on the subject. The palace is immense, and the tour took over two hours, but the guide never rushed us. Thank you for everything. Afterward, we explored the park and the temporary exhibition on the Queens on our own. It was truly a beautiful and interesting day. Highly recommended.

The palace is easy to reach, and entry was straightforward. The staff at InStazione—the company behind the Naples site—were very friendly and helpful. You’ll be contacted via WhatsApp and phone call the day before the tour begins for confirmation. Train tickets and palace admission tickets are picked up at their “InStazione” information desk at Naples Central Station. I was a bit skeptical about this app due to mixed reviews online, but as far as my trip goes, it turned out fine.

A well-organized tour. After booking online, there’s nothing else to worry about... The guide, who is always punctual, takes care of everything (from tickets to earbuds, to arranging assistance for people with mobility issues). The detailed explanations cover both historical and artistic aspects, with some enjoyable digressions on the inner workings of the palace... —things you could never grasp on your own in such a vast and rich setting! Highly recommended

It was a very positive and interesting experience. The palace is beautiful, with its rooms and corridors filled with stunning frescoes and decorations. We also visited the gardens with their fountains, which unfortunately are currently under maintenance—but they were still beautiful! Since we had purchased our skip-the-line tickets online, we had no problems and entered at the scheduled time. I’d say it was an excellent experience.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is wonderful! Walter, our knowledgeable and friendly guide, showed us around the palace: the Royal Staircase, the chapel, and the theater. We were allowed to see these areas "in exchange" for a visit to the gardens, which (unfortunately) were closed due to bad weather and strong winds—trees had even fallen over. Too bad, but it’s definitely worth another visit!!! Thanks, Walter

We visited the Royal Palace the day before Easter. The Skip-the-Line ticket allowed us to go straight in without wasting time buying tickets. It was a wonderful experience; it’s just a shame that, due to construction work, we weren’t able to see certain sections of the Via d’Acqua. The English Garden is also a must-see.

We had no trouble finding the place, thanks to the directions in the app. The tour of the palace was perfect, and the timing between the narration and moving from one room to the next was just right. The guide’s explanations were thorough. To keep visitors engaged, I would suggest adding a few interesting facts.

Bigger the palace, bigger the king

The Bourbons of Naples could be considered the overlords of the lands. Step inside their extravagantly furnished home and be baffled by an enormous collection of paintings, drawings, frescoes, books, bronzes, and other objects all around the Royal Apartments. Stop by the Grand Staircase of Honor, the neo-classical Royal Palatine Chapel, the spectacular horse-shoe-shaped Royal Court Theatre, the inspiring Terrae Motus Collection, and another picture gallery showcasing paintings that date back to the 16th century AD.

The beautiful Royal Park

Designed using an innovative ‘telescope effect’, the park is a beautiful space full of fountains, statues, and greenery. Visit the park to check out the French-inspired ‘Parterre’, the majestic Fountain of the Three Dolphins, the godly Fountain of Aeolus, the Fountain of Ceres, and many more wonderful cascades. Stop by the fascinating English Garden, the charming San Leucio Belvedere, and the Carolino Aqueduct, and discover the wildlife sanctuary at San Silvestro Oasis.
