Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle
Description
The Reggia of Caserta, a jewel in southern Italy, was built in 1750 by Bourbon King Charles of Naples. This royal palace features 1,200 lavish rooms and gardens that rival European contemporaries. Ciro, one of our local guides, says, ‘Discover what inspired architect Luigi Vanvitelli, looking closely at his work, and delve into the history of its 100-year construction during a pre-unified Italy.' Marvel at the illusion of the gardens that stretch to the horizon, with fountains, sculptures, and waterfalls inspired by classical mythology. Inside, walk up the immense Grand Staircase and explore the opulent Royal Apartments decorated with frescoes, gold, chandeliers, and baroque furniture. You'll also see the chapel and theater, a mini version of Naples’ Teatro San Carlo, which will leave you in awe. Don't miss the romantic English Gardens, perfect for photos of exotic plants and flowers. You'll hop on a shuttle bus to reach them, and when you arrive you'll be treated to a guided tour.

Excellent tour, it's worth it, I did it in the morning so I visited the gardens in pleasant temperatures, but you absolutely have to take the shuttle to get there, otherwise you'll die! (the guide was also nice)
