• 3Our tour was signed on...

  Our tour was signed on with Guiseppe. He was only our driver. We had the tour with another tour guide. Odd that tickets for the venue were in addition to the tour guide, since we were going to tour the palace and grounds. Why not build it into the total price of the excursion. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and guide.

• 5Turin Treasure

  Made a quick decision to make a visit here, which was well worth it. We covered the whole house & gardens, which was really worth it. History of the house & what it has seen was a revelation, early flight was unexpected, the use by the military & then the decline, from which it has recovered to be a stunning place to visit. The Long hall was so eye catching, please take a look at the various pieces of decoration along the hall, some will make you laugh. Then we spent time in the Gardens, which with the mountain backdrop are just awesome & make for some great photos. As it was open to 7pm, we made the most of the warm evening, spending time sitting by the lake. A great day out.

About Turin

Turin is the elegant Piedmont capital below the Alps, a city of arcaded avenues, royal palaces, a famous Egyptian museum, chocolate and vermouth.

Turin was the first capital of unified Italy, from 1861 to 1865, and before that the seat of the Savoy dynasty, whose baroque palaces and wide arcaded streets still define the centre. Piazza Castello holds the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama, and Piazza San Carlo is a grand square with twin churches. The Mole Antonelliana, a tower topped by a spire, houses the National Cinema Museum, and the cathedral keeps the Shroud of Turin.
