In little more than a century of Kingdom, the Bourbons, have made Naples the second most populous and richest city in Europe and have made it worthy of boasting for the many records obtained: The first city to have running water in the houses, the first to make the separate collection, the first to introduce free vaccination against smallpox for its inhabitants, and much more that you can discovery. How not to start with the story of the majestic Royal Palace, built with precious marble and inside, the entrance staircase defined by Montesquieu, the most beautiful staircase in the world, and the San Carlo Theatre, the first opera house in Europe among the most beautiful in the world. After the walk along the charming Caracciolo promenade, the tour ends with a visit to the Bourbon Gallery, a gigantic though underground place of unique charm, where you can live an unforgettable experience, unthinkable just the thought of being able to relive it elsewhere.

Must visit
The Tour was really amazing! We had a great Tourguide "Fabio". He was speaking so amazing english and told us so much details about the bourbon tunnels. Its definitely a visit worth!
via Tripadvisor
A lovely day deep in the history of Napoli.
Literally in the last moment we decided to do the Royals to Bourbon tunnel walking tour. To our amazement it turned out to be a private event since the only participants were my wife and I. Our tour guide Simone proved to be well read and most importantly passionate about his profession.Being a native Napolitan he transferred his insight of his city and his suggestions on visiting places on our own during our stay in Naples really improved our experience. In a nutshell the tour is highly recommended, if you are lucky enough to be guided by Simone even better for you.

Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery cost?
+
Prices start at $366 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exciting private tour of the Royal Palace and Bourbon Gallery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Guided Tour by Bike, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
