As a long time resident and local guide, my joke is that I wouldn't be surprised to discover that all Torinesi have an S tatoo somewhere on their body (S standing for Savoy family). I like giving this tour because it gives a broader perspective on this family that started off as a dukedom and worked its way up the power ladder to Kings of Italy. The whole city speaks of this ruling family. My other joke is that when you walk in the streets of this city and you see a horse statue, there's no need to ask yourself who that statue portrays because in 99% of cases, it's one of them! The Savoys gave to Torino its status of first Italian capital: this obviously resulted into centuries of build and digging that included both the city center and its suburban and mountain areas. This 6-hour tour will take you from Torino's stately downtown buildings, churches and squares to the Savoy's equivalent of the Versailles summer palace: La Venaria Reale.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS TOUR IS NOT AVAILABLE ON MODAYS (closing day of the Venaria hunting lodge). - The tour begins driving in a comfortable Mercedes car to the northern district of Torino where the Savoy's 1600-huntung grounds of La Venaria Reale sit. - After touring the Palace's stately rooms and gardens (approx. 3 hours), we will hop back into our car to Torino's city center. - There, you will be exposed to the Savoy's architecture that is a testament to the great artists and architects that have contributed to the rich history of the city. - Some of the places we will visit are: the Royal palace, the Holy Shroud chapel (with no admission), the main squares lined with baroque grandeur.

This is mostly a walking tour but we will have to travel to the northern suburban area (approx. 10kms) to reach the Savoy's hunting lodge and in that case we will use the services of my faithful driver Mauro and his luxury Mercedes class V equipped with: AC, WIFI, apple&Samsung battery charger,1 small bottle of water per p.
