Sophia was excellent. We learned a lot. If you’ve been to Versailles, it is similar but much more interesting and enjoyable.

Guide was good. Very informative palace is beautiful. I liked that the group was small I appreciate the experience
We had a memorable tour of the Turin Royal Palace. The tour was led by a very knowledgeable, friendly and energetic guide. The palace is absolutely stunning and our guide provided additional information and background that greatly enhanced our visit.
The Palazzo Reale, original Shroud Chapel, continental art collection antiquities collection, and garden all rapped up in one very special place make for a great day. Our guide Sophia proved to be very knowledgeable and there is a restaurant on site that I'd recommend for special occasions too!
Great tour. Amazing palace. A must-do when in Turin.
An excellent tour providing interesting insights and explanations as we moved through the palace. The guide was enthusiastic and engaging throughout. Great value.
Susanna was a wonderful guide who told us about the history and various events that led to current day Italian politics. She was very informative and interested in what the group has to say. The palace is fabulous and this was a tour definitely recommended.
Great informative tour. She kept things light and was very ready to answer any questions. Perfect intro to Turin Whole tour took about an hour and a half
Very informative and she kept our kids thoroughly engaged. Glad we did it. Definitely the best deal we found for the Palace.
Educational and very interesting. Massive palace. Beautiful original flooring and gilded Doors. Interesting history of early Itaky and the Savoys
The guide was super knowledgeable and provided very interesting context of Italian and Regional history. Well worth having a guide for this location. Thank you Sophia!
The Royal Palace tour was very interesting. Our tour guide is knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour!
Guide was knowledgeable but very lively and interactive. Perhaps too focused on the furnishings for my preference but others were more interested. Nevertheless a professional and relaxed guide made me glad I had taken the tour
What a great experience visiting this palace! It is a Little Versailles! Very baroque and rococo but impressive. The guide Djada was exquisite in her knowledge of the House of Savoy and its players. A wonderful visit!
Tour guide Alex was exceptionally good and knowledgeable. Made the tour interesting and worth the experience. A beautiful palace to explore.
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.
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!
Very intense but interesting room by room experience, got to appreciate the guide knowledge and patience
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.
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!
Great tour of the interior, excellent explanation & very informative. Clear speaker made it possible to understand . Good history lesson also
Excellent and very knowledgeable guide with perfect English. Group of 10. Brought the palace to life for us. Everything was explained brilliantly
We had a great tour of the Royal Palace seeing some of the most important rooms and learning the history and stories about those rooms.
Great tour guide who gave us information about the history of the palace. We learned quite a bit about the palace that we would not have without a guide. It was enjoyable and not rushed.
This was a wonderful tour. Only complaint was it could have last a little longer but the guide Marta was excellent
Our guide Susanna was an outstanding guide. She was quite knowledgeable about the significance of the architecture, features and finishes in the palace. Great Guide.
It’s a very informative tour and a great way to understand the history of the Savoy. Susanna was so friendly and was able to communicate extremely well.
Great tour— very informative, interesting, and worthwhile. Not too long, just right length. Great guide.
The tour of the Palace was wonderful and majestic! Our tour guide, Giada, was very knowledgeable and kept us engrossed with every story she told. The armory and chapel were the best rooms to visit.
I live in London and recently travelled to Turin with my family as part of my husband’s official trip. I booked a guided palace tour via Viator and found the experience extremely informative and truly knowledge-based. Our guide, Giada, had exceptional expertise and a real passion for the subject — her explanations were clear, engaging, and incredibly thorough. She gave us a comprehensive tour of the palace, sharing historical insights that made the visit even more meaningful. An extremely impressive experience that I would highly recommend.
An excellent, fun and knowledgepacked afternoon with Nadia - a very nice, energetic and engaging tourguide. Highly recommendable.
Obsessed! The tour guide knew so much and was funny in the process- really had such a great day
Nadia was knowledgeable, engaged and could relate the castle and kings' history like a good story. Definitely worth it!
The palace was beautiful and the history interesting. Sophia was very knowledgeable and engaging making the tour very much worth it.
We had an excellent English-language tour of the Palazzo Reale di Torino (Royal Palace of Turin). It is a beautiful building to walk through, with many authentic fixtures still in place and fascinating stories accompanying them. The tour was especially great because our guide, Giada, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. No question was left unanswered, and she had a great sense of humor that provided wonderful undertones for the sometimes fantastical stories of the royalty who previously inhabited the palace.
My friend and I had a fabulous tour with Suzanna. She doesn’t use headsets but keeps the group together to share the information. The palace is spectacular. The ticket allows access to other parts of the museum which was an unexpected bonus. Thanks Suzanna! Apologies if I spelled your name wrong.
Professional, passionate, competent and good at getting to the heart of the matter. I would recommend it
Sofia made this tour come to life. It was fun not stodgy yet full of information. Beautiful tour. Brava Sofia!
There is an incredibly rich history that you can’t get by just walking through the palace and glancing at the placards. A tour really brings it to life. Jada was amazing- her knowledge was obvious but her enthusiasm and joy for delivering the history of the palace really made it special.
The architecture and decorations were beautiful, and it gave us a good sense of the city’s rich cultural past. The guide, Sara, was excellent; she explained everything in a very clear and detailed way, making the visit easy to understand and truly enjoyable.
Natalie was an excellent tour guide. Interesting and beautiful palace. Especially loved the chapel where the Shroud had been kept for many years.
Such an incredible palace with over-the-top ornate features throughout, even while the exterior is very simple and modest. Very interesting history, explanation, and room-by-room details given by our fantastic guide, Nadia! We We appreciated Nadia's passion, we loved our tour, and we highly recommend it!
Wonderful tour. We were very happy with the tour and would highly recommend it. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Royal Palace and its history.
Our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about each room in the palace. A small group was the way to go. It was so easy to negotiate all of the rooms. The palace is beautiful and is a must see.
Very informative and brought to life the history of the Savoy family and how they came to power. The guy was very knowledgeable and could bring to life the history of the Palace and the family that once ruled Italy.
The Royal Palace tour was very good and our tour guide did a great job. The interior of the palace is very beautiful although we were disappointed the armoury was closed, but we knew in advance so fair enough. The tour ends in the Chapel Of The Holy Shroud. The tour was on time. Thanks.
This is a wonderful tour with historical insights that you could never experience without a knowledgeable guide.
Lovely tour by Sofia ! We had a great time , very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide . Great experience , highly recommend
