Meet your guide at the entrance of the palace and start exploring the halls and rooms where the Savoia, the Italian royal family used to live. Learn about the secrets and the legends around the royals and discover their golden treasure: a stunning palace celebrating luxury. Visit the amazing throne room, a brilliant example of the Italian baroque style. Gold and gemstones embellish the magnificent hall, symbol of the opulence of that period.

Nadia did a fantastic job explaining the history of the palace and the Savoy dynasty. It was our second tour of the day with her and we were delighted she was our guide. A very interesting tour. Highly recommended.
This was an awesome tour. The palace is big from the outside, but hidden behind its plain walls is a grand experience of wealth and history. Our guide was absolutely lovely and passionate about the history of the palace. I’m not going to pretend I had a lot of context going in, but I’ve now got a base understanding of the Savoys and how they ended up ruling Italy. Definitely looking forward to learning more! Overall, it’s a gorgeous building with lots of art, armor and design that anyone would find interesting. Intersect that with history from our guide and it was a ton of fun.
Suzanna was extremely knowledgeable and energetic. She was an excellent tour guide and I would recommend this tour.
Excellent, the guide was very good and helped us discover many things about the Palace and the history of the region.
What a magnificent palace! If you have time for only one place - this is it. Chiara gave us a fantastic tour - explaining all the highlights and the history. After the tour, you can stay and delve deeper into what interests you. If you are short on time - this is perfect!
Thank you so much, Irene! We’re really happy you enjoyed the Royal Palace and that Chiara made the visit so engaging with her explanations and storytelling. It’s great that you also appreciated having time afterwards to explore at your own pace. Hope to see you again soon in Turin! ⭐️
Very intense but interesting room by room experience, got to appreciate the guide knowledge and patience
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the room-by-room experience and had the chance to fully appreciate both the palace and the guide’s knowledge and patience throughout the tour.
Alessio was a great guide! The tour was very informative and interesting. It was great to see all the highlights of the palace and understand the history and context. I was pleasantly surprised to also visit the breathtaking Chapel of the Shroud on the tour. Also pleasantly surprised that there was an art museum (Renaissance paintings by great masters and sculptures in the part we saw) and Roman antiquities museum included in the ticket (after the palace tour concluded). Great experience! Would highly recommend.
Thank you! We’re delighted you had such a great experience with Alessio. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the highlights of the palace, the Chapel of the Shroud, and the additional museum sections as well. We’re happy it exceeded your expectations!
Unique experience, wonderful the Royal Palace, the guide Gabriella of Viator made the visit extremely interesting. I recommend the tour 100%.
Grazie mille Vito! Siamo davvero felici che tu abbia vissuto un’esperienza così positiva al Palazzo Reale e che Gabriella abbia reso la visita ancora più interessante con la sua guida. Speriamo di rivederti presto a Torino per un’altra esperienza con noi ⭐️
I visited royal palace a very experienced guide and gave us so much information I would definitely see him again.
Grazie mille per la sua recensione! Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la visita e le spiegazioni della guida. Il Palazzo Reale ha davvero tanto da raccontare, ed è bello sapere che è stata un’esperienza che rifarebbe volentieri.
Sophia was the best tour guide. She provided a ton of unknown and known historical facts and made the tour super interesting and fun. I highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so happy you found the tour both interesting and fun. Bringing together well-known and lesser-known stories is what makes the Royal Palace come alive.
