Your tour starts in the morning, when your driver will come to pick you up at your location in Rome. You will be on the luxury minivan for a 2-hour trip to the Royal Palace of Caserta. Built in the mid-18th century for the Bourbon kings of Naples, the residence was designed by Italian architect Luigi Vanvitelli using inspiration from the French Palace of Versailles, Charlottenburg in Germany, and Spain’s El Escorial. It is one of the world’s largest royal palaces, boasting 1,200 rooms, 24 staircases, and 1,742 windows.
Step inside the enormous estate with included admission, and follow your guide on a tour through five floors of opulent ballrooms, hallways, and apartments that dazzle with frescoes, marble floors, mirrors, and tapestries. You will enjoy your guide’s commentary on palace history and the fascinating lives of its blue-blooded former residents, including King Charles VII of Naples. Also tour the expansive palace gardens, featuring ornate fountains and English and Italianate landscaping.
Before returning to Rome, reflect on the regal feast for the eyes over lunch at a local restaurant. The 10-hour tour concludes with drop-off back at the original departure point.
