Surprising Regal!

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!

Royal Palace with Nadia

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.

Grand and Gorgeous

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.
