Turin: Private Tour On The Path Of The Holy Shroud

The tour starts in the museum which has some great artefacts and a copy of the shroud. Sarah was really knowledgeable and shared some really insightful history of the shroud. She included several stops of interest and made sure we could continue our exploration after this tour.

Iliana’s English is very good which made communication easier than I expected. She is very knowledgeable on the subject of the Path of the Shroud. She has many historical facts swimming around her brain and shares what she knows. She is focused on the subject but is ready to take a side trail if that has perked your interest. The walking part was doable for this 70 yo but I was seriously challenged doing it in “feels like temp” of 97 degrees. There are so many interesting and beautiful places and things to see on this tour. The path of the Shroud is well mapped out. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone who can walk for three hours and if Iliana is your English guide you will enjoy her warmth and knowledge.

Ask for Tony. She had excellent communication skills and was very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. And it was her second tour of the day!

Tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area. Having a private tour is the best way to gain the knowledge and information about the history of shroud in Torin.

Christina was a fantastic guide and went above and beyond her duties. She was truly a joy and the experience was amazing

This tour was an excellent overview of the holy shroud. Plus the top highlights of the city of Torino. Our guide Christina was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. She was able to answer a variety of questions even though not related to the subject of our tour. She also was extremely accommodating as there was a tremendous amount of rain earlier in the day, and she made all the necessary adjustments

I am a Lutheran believer without any strong views of relics. The Turin Shroud is still more than a relic, it is such a well-known part of the history even without taking any stance as to its actual provenance. The museum was very good and it was nice to see so much angles and facts. The private guide was wonderful, thoughtful and very informative.

Very informative and inspirational. Marella offers a wealth of knowledge that you won’t get by just visiting the museum.

We couldn’t recommend Sarah enough! She was so knowledgeable about the history Turin, the Holy Shroud and Royal family - we were beyond impressed. She really made us feel like we were locals by giving us so rich details along the way. While the museum and church were absolutely beautiful on their own, her knowledge really made this a much more in depth and personal journey that we would have never experienced if we tried to do this on our own. If we could rate more than 5 start we absolutely would!

This was a very intertesting tour and Carla did a great job. The tour starts at the Shroud Museum which is very small but has interesting artifacts with respect to the history of the Shroud. From there you go to the Cathedral where the Shroud is strored in a protective vault in a chapel (note you will NOT see the Shroud itself as it is not on display). After that you have entry to the Royal Museum to see the Chapel constructed to hold the Shroud in the past. Also note your ticket gives you FULL ACCESS to the Royal Museum, Archeological Museum and Gallery so if you are taking this tour you should not do that separately.

Wow! This tour was incredible…Mirella was our tour guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable. We had an interest in learning more about the Holy Shroud of Turin, and we knew we had to do a tour while staying in the city. Mirella exceeded our expectations with her passion and knowledge of the Shroud - the science behind it as well as the history. Mirella was very kind and accommodating as well, taking the time to show us around parts of the city and giving excellent recommendations. In conclusion we HIGHLY recommend taking a trip to Torino specifically to do this tour if you have an interest in this subject, and book Mirella as your tour guide if you can.

Sarah was very knowledgeable and provided an exceptional tour experience. Sarah provided thorough explanations and guided us to and through the museum and church/cathedral.

Excellent!! Great tour and excellent guide. Impressive subject, Beautiful places we visited. It was conducted very punctual.

The tour was excellent. Sarah our guide was professional, had great knowledge of the history and significance of the museum, churches, real palace, the architects in summary she is great doing it. We were very pleased and appreciative.

Ileana was an awesome guide. She was knowledgeable and patient. She went out of her way to show us unique items not usually on the tour

Lots of walking. Well worth it. Great experience. Tour guide was informative, very knowledgeable, and friendly.

A wonderful personal guided tour, with lots of additional information and insight. You’ll see and learn so much more than you would on your own.

Our guide Ileana was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our time with her. I’d recommend this tour.

She was very knowledgeable and her translation to English was fantastic. She also showed me a wonderful pizza place in town. Best I have ever had.

Great experience! We learned so much more than we expected to. Carla was the perfect guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly and let us tour at our desired pace. She is from the area and shared local history as well as the details of the holy shroud and its path to its current resting place. This was a tour that we will never forget.

This was me, my wife and the tour guide. An excellent way to do this so we didn't have to bother with other travelers and all the annoyances that they bring. Made it easy to ask questions and learn. You can also indiviualize the tour to your liking.

This tour was amazing. Out guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The history and the science behind the shroud is amazing. But the most impressive are the churches.

Tour guide very knowledge and engaging Lots of information in a short time Would love to come back and take more time in the palace

We took a train from Milan to Torino for the private tour but the local operator did not show up at the designated time (3 pm). No one informed us about what was going on. We contacted Viator for assistance but they could not find the local operator at first. Later we were able to connect with the local company and we were told that something had happened to the tour guide. We were upset that no one had contacted us about this, which was certainly bad business practice. After much discussion, they sent us a replacement guide, but we had to wait for an hour for her to arrive. As a result, our tour started an hour late. The replacement guide was very nice. However, since we had to catch the train back to Milan at a certain time, we had to rush and finish our tour early. As a result, the tour was only 2 hours long instead of 3. We have taken many tours from Viator before, but this was the worst experience!! We believe that we should be reimbursed for one third of the cost.

Donatella was prompt and very kind. She spoke my language perfectly and very clearly is very knowledgeable about the topic of the Shroud of Turin. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and gave me time to absorb the information. She was kind enough to show me things that aren't usually on the tour but she thought I would find interesting during my visit to Torino. I do recommend this tour!

Very exciting to visit the museum and learn about the ancient shroud. Sarah did a wonderful job explaining it's journey!

Guide descriptions at Shroud museum were insightful and educational. Also gave great recommendations for dinner that night.

Donatello who was our tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The museum was a real highlight as it had many interesting artifacts that she brought our attention to with detailed explanation. The three parts of the tour complement each other perfectly. Great value for money as someone local guide you on the path of the shroud. Very memorable and enjoyable experience. Recommend it as it was absorbing, well paced and charming tour.

Silvana was great and knowledgeable, but I would not recommend this tour. With all the history of Torino and the things the City has to offer, this tour feels like a lot of redundancy all about the shroud which could be covered in one hour instead of three. There is no reason for this tour to be this long and this expensive since you won’t get to see the shroud anyways. I personally did not care for three hours of pictures and replicas.

The sheet and its incredible history is a great and unforgettable experience that renews faith. Recommended

We found it wonderful and with a much needed spiritual presence. We have lived and recreated the moments of martyrdom sands of knowing how the holy savanna and the history of the city were protected.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience our guide Ileana a was great she taught us a lot about the holy shrine. A beautiful discovery of Turin and a beautiful discovery of Ileana

Excellent tour of the history of the Syndone. The excellent guide, very professional, and conoxing, and being local provides additional very interesting data.
