Between Mount Vesuvius and the sea of Granatello stands the magnificent Royal Palace of Portici, once the Bourbon kings’ summer residence and a jewel of 18th-century art. With your private guide, you’ll explore frescoed halls, royal gardens, and stories of a court that shaped Naples’ history. After the guided tour (about two hours), your experience continues just beside the palace, where a welcome glass of Prosecco awaits. Here begins your hands-on cooking class, a fun and social activity where you’ll become the chef. With your hands in the dough and a smile on your face, you’ll make fresh pasta from scratch, guided by our local chefs and surrounded by the aromas of Neapolitan tradition. Enjoy a glass of local wine as you cook, then sit down to taste your creations, share laughs, and end the day with an authentic Neapolitan coffee — the perfect royal finish.
