About this tour
This seven to eight-hour private tour connects two of southern Italy's architectural landmarks: the sprawling Royal Palace of Caserta, Europe's largest royal residence, and the haunting ruins of Pompeii. You'll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who handles navigation and luggage while you take in the Campania region. Pickup and drop-off happen at your chosen location—airport, station, port, or hotel.
Highlights
- Royal Palace of Caserta: 1,200 rooms across Europe's grandest royal residence
- Pompeii archaeological site: three-thousand-year-old Roman city frozen by volcanic ash
- Private Mercedes with WiFi, bottled water, and climate control
- Door-to-door service from your accommodation or arrival point
- English-speaking driver familiar with both sites
- Flexible itinerary: confirm departure time directly with operator
What to expect
Your driver collects you at your specified location and drives you to Caserta first. You'll have time to explore the palace's vast rooms and formal gardens independently—entry fees apply separately. Afterwards, you'll head to Pompeii, where you'll wander the excavated streets, homes, and temples at your own pace (again, tickets purchased separately). The drive between sites takes roughly ninety minutes. Throughout, your driver remains available for logistics and local advice, though they won't accompany you inside either location.
Good to know
Admission tickets (€19 each) aren't included—buy on arrival or book ahead online. Wear comfortable walking shoes; both sites involve considerable ground. A packed lunch is wise since meals aren't provided. Infants travel free with prams or specialist seats available. Contact the operator to lock in your pickup time before departure.
