Both parts of this trip were fabulous. Lina, our guide for the Savoy Palace and Gardens was impressive. Her love for Turin and passion for its history and its future were inspiring. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would have only experienced a small portion of the importance of this place and the people who created it if we had not had Lina to guide us. Giuseppe, our guide for Sacra di San Michele was very knowledgeable. His friendly personality made our car ride to Mount Pirchiriano memorable. The ancient abbey is built on an apparition site of St. Michael the Archangel and is one of the seven pilgrimage stops along the Sword of St Michael, which stretches from Skellig Michael in Ireland to Stella Maris Monastery in Israel. There are 243 steps to the top, but it is worth it as the panoramic view of the Piedmont area from the abbey is spectacular. A wonderful place for reflection and prayer.

Best Italian tour
Best Italian tour to date. Giuseppe was a superb guide of the Sacra Di San Michele - friendly, warm & humble. When the Sacra comes into view properly halfway up the mountain it is both breathtaking & spectacular & the monastery itself is equally sublime. It is hard to grasp & get your mind around. Entering the Monastery we were greated by hymns & prayers being conducted by the 10 priests in an adjacent room. Could not recommend visiting it enough. The other half of the tour at the Venaria Reale is extravagant & exquisite. Christina's tour for this palace is exceptional. Her depth & deep insights of the family & their history are to something behold & rare. Weaving a whimsical story of the palace & it's dense history that draws you in, as you dig deeper into the life of the Savoy's & I just didn't want it to end.. Great tour done in 2 halves by exceptional guides

La dolce Savoy
Giuseppe was a fabulous host and driver. Our tour with a local tour guide of the Venaria Palace was insightful and informative. We also visited Stupingi Palace. A great day to immerse yourself in the history of the Savoy family. Fabulous 👍
