Overview

Moving towards the Salotto di Torino, Piazza San Carlo, and going along the ancient Via Nuova (now called Via Roma), you will return to the ancient Collegio dei Nobili to travel at least 5000 years back in time and descend into the wonderful world of the Egyptian history.

What to Expect

    This small group tour takes you through central Turin’s majestic piazzas and baroque architecture, as well as the world-renowned Egyptian Museum. Expert local guide Sara says, ‘Turin is famed as the home of the Fiat, Lavazza coffee and creamy Gianduia chocolates. But this tour delves deep into the city’s Savoyard roots and French influences. Plus, you’ll learn all about ancient Egypt and its beliefs and superstitions.’ Starting from Piazza Castello, Turin’s grandeur and opulence will immediately be on full display. See the former Savoy royal residence and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Madama Palace. Soak up the stylish Italian flair as you walk city's main streets until you reach the Egyptian Museum. Learn about fascinating Egyptian hieroglyphics, with 700 papyri on display, including the showstopper, the 18-metre-long ‘Book of the Dead’. Look up at colossal statues of pharaohs, gods and the iconic sphynx. Plus, you’ll also get to see tombs, sarcophagi, temples and mummies.
