Just wonderful ! - An Italian wonder. I thank the service staff who are always very kind and attentive as well as very knowledgeable. I received a lot of useful information along the way from the staff present in the various internal rooms. The display of various works of contemporary art in the various rooms was also highly appreciated. All to create a path that embraces modern and contemporary art. The gardens are beautiful and should absolutely be visited by renting a bike (service available at the beginning of the park). Unforgettable day.

Visit to the palace of Caserta - Very nice experience, Francesca is a very knowledgeable and helpful guide, she explains without boring and involves the whole group in the visit, both inside the palace and in the gardens..

Fab service! - What a trip! Obviously the palace and garden were stunning but I also need to say how amazing our transport was. Salvatore collected us (our own private taxi after expecting a minibus) in his beautifully clean and air conditioned taxi at just before the agreed time. He was so lovely and helpful, explained he did not have great english but it made no difference. Dropped us at a really easy place to reach the palace and was waiting for us at the agreed time for our return trip. He also dropped us back to our hotel at no extra cost to save us hanging around! He was fantastico!

Life in previous century - The interior castle. Not well prepared for handicap visitors. One needs to fish for seniors/handicap information. Eventually one can find if persistent.

Disappointed - We paid for skip the line access and audio guide. Neither existed. It was very crowded. The parts of the palace we were allowed to see were amazing. There is a lot of wide open space in the courtyard that would be perfect for a cafe. The small snack bar was very crowded, with no place to sit. The employees at this facility were the rudest people in the entire country of Italy.

Details about trip were... - Details about trip were minimal and confusing. We received two different meeting points and were not told whether we were being met by a person, a van, or a bus. The "guide" was accessible only by WhatsApp, which was not made clear up front. A taxi driver with our photo finally found us after a lengthy delay. The trip was fine, but not knowing what to expect on the front end created a great deal of anxiousness for us. Much more detail about the arrangements should be provided!

Caserta Palace, amazing, but dissatisfied with Viator. - The most memorable part
was that we overpaid for the whole experience. We thought our transport from Naples to Caserta was with other people also booked with Viator, but instead we paid for a private transfer which became very costly. If we were the only 2 people going to Caserta, Viator should have advised us that it was going to be a private transfer and that there was an option of getting a direct train to Caserta Palace from Naples with a 5 minute walk to the Palace. This would’ve reduced the price considerably and we would’ve appreciated Viator’s personalised response and help. This would’ve reflected consideration for what was best for us. We have used Viator many times, (although it appears that it doesn’t make a difference- and it should - based on past history of the returned customer). We were very disappointed. Thank you.

Caserta is nice, but pretty much, we’re on our own. - This is just a van ride, no guide- live guide or audio. I will not recommend this tour from this company.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND - Tickets were sold on days when the museum was closed. I urgently need to change the dates. And I do not receive a response from the email indicated when registering the purchase. Will I be defaulted????

Bad communication and ruined my vacation - I dreamed for months to visit the palace and the day before I'm supposed to go some Viator lady calls me up and then texts me to say it was canceled. I was devastated. I looked forward to this trip for months. My trip schedule didn't allow to reschedule. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed. I want my money back....immediately. I work in the hospitality business and Viator's care and concern for me was not there. I wonder how many people I come in contact with will hear my story. Plenty.
