We will discover the most monumental Bourbon residence. Built by King Charles III of Bourbon, the Royal Palace sought to surpass the royal palace of Versailles in beauty. Characterized by 1200 rooms and more than 1700 windows, we will enter this sumptuous residence through a monumental marble staircase. We will be fascinated by the silks that cover the walls and furnishings and room after room we will reach the private apartments of the king and queen, also visiting the first bathroom with hot and cold water and a dark "guitar-shaped" object. .

The name Capua is now found in the name of the modern city, Santa Maria Capua Vetere. A few kilometers separate Caserta from what was a prosperous and lively city of Ancient Rome. The Campano Amphitheatre still stands out in its excellent state of preservation: it was probably the model for the Colosseum in Rome. Nearby, it is interesting to visit the Gladiator Museum, which still retains just part of the decoration of the amphitheater, along with showing a reconstruction of a real gladiator fight. Moving instead to the Archaeological Museum of ancient Capua, it is possible to observe the antiquity of the founding of the city. The Mitreo is a small treasure found almost by accident during an excavation for the construction of a building, is one of the most intact testimonies of the practices around the cult of the god Mitra: the frescoes and seating, still perfectly visible, push the fancy to travel back to the 3rd century AD.

Inclusions: Guiding service by a professional Archaeological Guide

I have enjoyed several tours with Raffaele. All have been extremely informative and he has pointed out things that would have not been noticed without him. Additionally, his command of history helps make what we see understandable in context.

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.
