“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!”

“The most memorable part was dealing with Viator staff who did nothing to help when their tour operator who gave us a confirmation 3 weeks ago cancelled at the last minute. We had to scramble to find a way to get to the palace at a very costly way. The staff didn’t even advise that you can get unguided tickets directly at the palace. In sum it was a costly and terrible experience that would prevent me from using Viator again in the future.”
