Perfect

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!

Well worth it! Great way to visit the palace.

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.
