Additional Information

Embark on a journey past the grandiose marble lions adorning the Grand Staircase, revealing the secret of the ornately painted dome - a deceptive ceiling used for musical stunts. Proceed to the resplendent Royal Apartments and Throne Room, adorned with intricate frescoes, elaborate Baroque furniture, and ample gold. You will also encounter the Queen’s Bathroom, a sanctuary from courtly whispers. As local expert Ugo discloses, even the angelic artwork decorates their eyes shut to ensure her solitude. The tour concludes at the Court Theatre, a scaled-down rendition of Naples’ Teatro San Carlo, bound to leave you spellbound.

Make your way through the vibrant turquoise pools that line the gardens leading to the awe-inspiring Great Waterfall. ‘Crafted to create an optical illusion, this pathway imparts a feeling of boundlessness,’ reveals local guide Ugo. Your tour guide will animate the myths of antiquity as you come across depictions of maritime beasts and ancient deities in the form of sculptures and figures. Capture images of the foreign flora within the English Gardens and venture off the beaten path with your guide to uncover concealed figures, hidden staircases, and secluded pools.

Great tour of a beautiful palace - This was a wonderful tour and Esmeralda was a great guide. Our train from Naples was cancelled and we went to another town and had to take a bus from there to Caserta. We were an hour late and she kindly waited for us. She had a ton of knowledge of the palace and made our tour so interesting. I can't imagine walking through without a guide to describe what you are seeing. All in all a great tour!

Magical! - We met Alessia out the front and she guided us from one amazing statue, staircase, artwork, room, hallway, fountain and garden to another! It was a highlight of our trip to Italy and one I will recommend to anyone. It was just my husband and I so there was no need for headphones. We were able to stop and ask questions whenever we were taken by something. The castle and it's symmetry is unbelievably beautiful and, as you go from room to room you see glimpses of the cascades through the massive windows but nothing prepares you for when you arrive by bus at the top of the three kilometre cascade and look down to the castle and beyond! Alessia came with us on the bus and walked us through the beginning of the English Garden - a welcome coolness on a hot, late August day. We were very glad we brought our large umbrella as it made the walk back to the castle bearable. I would definitely visit again having done the tour.

Best tour of 2022. - Our guide was by far the most knowledgeable and charming guide we have had on our entire vacation. She explained everything so well and shared in our enthusiasm and excitement as we toured the palace. We will definitely recommend this tour and hopefully with her (her name is escaping me as I write this ).

Our second favorite tour of our entire trip! Breathtaking! - This was our second favorite tour of our entire trip. Our guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable and we had some great 1-1 time with her as we were the only guests on the tour. Also her personality was fantastic, she was very fun and able to roll with the punches. Her knowledge of Caserta is surely unparalleled. And Caserta is simply breathtaking, probably the most grand thing I will ever see in my life. I highly recommend this tour.
