Excellent Tour and Experience - We had such a fantastic time! We didn't know what to anticipate for the tour, but we were so happy we did this! Our guide was AMAZING--knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Her English speaking skills were strong, and she even customized the experience for us, as I had a keen interest in the Holy Shroud. So she made sure we spent a lot of time in the Chapel and even directed us to where we could see a replica and where the original is now kept. This was worth the cost, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Turin.

Excellent guide, Interesting place - Francesca is an excellent guide and tailored the tour as per our time constraints. She was well informed, courteous and accommodating. Our daughter was feeling weak and she helped her find places to sit as much as possible during the tour. The shroud itself was hidden of course and we really do not know about its being genuine but the Palace is interesting too.

Wonderful experience , wheelchair accessible- excellent guide - Absolutely wonderful tour with Sofia - we learned so many new things that we would not have know. My son is an avid history buff and the look on his face when he learned new facts was priceless! The tour was very accommodating for my brother who was in a wheelchair. Sofia spoke excellent English and told the story and history of the Royal family beautifully

Meraviglioso Torino! - The brand of a strong industrial center was for us a reason to postpone a touristic visit to Torino. We were wrong: Torino is more than FIAT and Juventus. We discovered a historical chapter not only of Italy but of the whole region of Piemont and Provence. And if we add the splendid stay we had in the Principi di Piemonte hotel (we hope Djokovic will stay in the same room we got!) assisted by its very professional staff we think that anyone having experienced a visit like ours will do it again. At least, we we'll do for sure and lunch again in the Eataly restaurant in via Lagrange, enjoying the friendly and professionnal service of Mattia, a talented and ambitious guy from Puglia region. We wish him good luck to realise his plans for the future!
