About this tour
A nine-hour private tour combining two of southern Italy's most compelling archaeological sites. Hotel pickup gets you to Pompeii first, where a guide walks you through the frozen Roman city before heading to the grandiose Royal Palace of Caserta. You'll travel in your own vehicle with a dedicated driver, leaving time for lunch at a local restaurant midway through. The pace is unhurried—ideal for taking in the scale of both locations without battling crowds.

- Self-paced audio tour of Caserta's royal apartments
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
- One hour for lunch at local restaurants

What to expect
Start with hotel collection in the morning, then drive to Pompeii where your guide leads you through the excavated Roman settlement—streets, homes, shops, and public buildings frozen by Vesuvius's eruption. You'll move at a steady pace with breaks as needed. After Pompeii, there's an hour to eat lunch before continuing to Caserta's sprawling palace complex. Here you'll explore the grand rooms, staircases, and chapel using an audio guide, allowing you to linger on what interests you. The full day is structured but not rushed.
