The place is incomparably beautiful. There is some disorganization and deficiencies in information both on the online site and on site. We were unable to book a guided tour. The parking lot is disturbing and poorly attended.

The time reservation with the ticket is a great idea and it worked well, in fact we skipped the line and got in right away at the appointed time. The only negative thing is the quantity and quality of information on the audio guide, which is practically 0.

Tickets a bit more expensive than buying directly at the palace, and then we found out that teachers don't pay so we paid for tickets that otherwise would have been season tickets.... Cmq the palace of Caserta is beautiful especially its gardens are wonderful.

Good morning, the park very nice but inside the building the HEADOUT app was not getting a signal so we went through the tour without being able to hear any explanation. Me, my wife and daughter, with three different operators had the same problem. In my opinion you should have been more clear and explicit about this risk. Sincerely Thank you David

I expected the shuttle to be free or at least included and specified when purchasing tickets and not have another line. Then there is to say the lack of reduced price for seventy-year-olds . The well-maintained English garden but lacking drinking fountains .

The app's audio guide only works for 3 or 4 rooms per floor, whereas the palace's audio guide works for all rooms. The wifi network works very poorly, so we couldn't use Google translation for the explanatory panels. No map provided. We couldn't find the souvenir store, very poorly signposted.

Very good guide very Engaging not at all boring ,very welcome and enjoyable tour the only downside that being an outside guide they did not let us in before the appointment time even though we had the entrance ticket paid to be able to visit the gardens in the meantime .they made us wait at the entrance without being able to enter even in the porch to be able to shelter us from the sun premise that we were in August with 35 degrees ,of course it is not the fault of the guide but of the staff that is in charge of ticket control at the entrance

I put "good" only for bn Walter professor and of letters very knowledgeable and nice. He interested us without boring us. The small group was indeed such and therefore pleasant . Unfortunately, the visit was marred by many school groups with small children ( elementary) screaming and certainly not interested given their age. Endless lines everywhere ... obviously the fault is not of the tour operator but of the organization of the Reggia which should reserve only some days for school groups so as not to spoil the visit for others.
