Blanca_M, May 2023

It was a great tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a great tour even though the weather did not cooperate.

Lovely place but bus ride let it down

Peter_G, Jul 2022

The guide was excellent she made the tour very interesting and was very helpful .Unfortunately the air conditioned bus was not the air conditioning did not work it took over a hour to get there in 32 c heat and the same back which was not enjoyable I asked for a partial refund because of the bus but they said they would not refund

Great tour

guide was lovely, gave the tour in both english and italian, accommodating everyone as much as she could. possibly shouldve mentioned a dress code before we went however as being pointed out in a crowd is a bit embarrassing. (not guides fault of course) tour was really good though, lovely woman, would definitely recommend (though wear a shirt rather than a vest)

Recommended!

The guide was an art historian and it showed. The tour started on time and the drive from Turin downtown to San Michele was about an hour. There is a lot of climbing involved up to the sanctuary and inside as well. Do not hesitate to engage the vendors on the way down and it was worth it. Recommended tour to anyone visiting Torino and have a few hours to kill.

Really interesting place...

Great view from Sacra di San Michele...

Ines Kar Yee L, Jul 2017

Great view from Sacra di San Michele overlooking the Susa Valley. We were in small group and explanation was thorough on this interesting place, informative and somehow very much linked to the history of Turin and indeed Italy.

Una Sacra da visitare

Antonio_V, Aug 2022

Tutto molto bello e un'ottima guida. Sacra da visitare per una atmosfera particolare e suggestiva. Come il libro di Umberto Eco

Experiencia mágica

Belen_R, May 2022

No te cansas de admirar el paisaje que rodea la Sacra. El edificio es espectacular una obra descomunal hecha en el pico de la montaña, integrada perfectamente. Sin duda un lugar mágico.

excusion indispensable

JUDITH_S, May 2022

réveil matinal pour cette excursion!! mais ça en valait la peine attention la montée des marches au monastère est fatigante surtout pour les personnes âgées prévenir le guide que voulez prendre l'ascenseur! dommage que les commentaires ne soient pas en français
