About this tour

A seven-hour private tour combining two of Campania's heavyweight sites. Start at the Royal Palace of Caserta, where five storeys of stucco, frescoes and sculpture sprawl across a vast brick complex crowned by an imposing dome. Then head into Naples itself, threading through the old quarters to see the Archaeological Museum's Roman treasures, the medieval castles framing the waterfront, and the grand Plebiscito square. Your guide navigates both venues; skip-the-line access saves queueing.

Highlights

  • Five-storey palace interior: stucco, frescoes, reliefs throughout
  • Farnese Bull and Farnese Hercules sculptures at museum
  • Medieval Maschio Angioino castle overlooking the city
  • Seaside promenade with dell'Ovo fortress views
  • Winding Naples backstreets led by local guide
  • Private car with English-speaking driver both ways

What to expect

You'll spend roughly two and a half hours touring Caserta's lavish interiors with your guide, then travel to Naples for three hours exploring on foot. The Archaeological Museum ranks among Italy's finest; expect dense, world-class Roman statuary and mosaics. Next, you'll walk the historic centre—narrow alleys, castle exteriors, the sweeping Plebiscito piazza. The pace is moderate but covers significant ground. Wear comfortable shoes; Naples streets are uneven in places.

Good to know
