I am a Lutheran believer without any strong views of relics. The Turin Shroud is still more than a relic, it is such a well-known part of the history even without taking any stance as to its actual provenance.
The museum was very good and it was nice to see so much angles and facts. The private guide was wonderful, thoughtful and very informative.

Very informative and inspirational. Marella offers a wealth of knowledge that you won’t get by just visiting the museum.

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!

This was a very intertesting tour and Carla did a great job. The tour starts at the Shroud Museum which is very small but has interesting artifacts with respect to the history of the Shroud. From there you go to the Cathedral where the Shroud is strored in a protective vault in a chapel (note you will NOT see the Shroud itself as it is not on display). After that you have entry to the Royal Museum to see the Chapel constructed to hold the Shroud in the past.
Also note your ticket gives you FULL ACCESS to the Royal Museum, Archeological Museum and Gallery so if you are taking this tour you should not do that separately.

Sarah was very knowledgeable and provided an exceptional tour experience. Sarah provided thorough explanations and guided us to and through the museum and church/cathedral.

Great experience! We learned so much more than we expected to. Carla was the perfect guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly and let us tour at our desired pace. She is from the area and shared local history as well as the details of the holy shroud and its path to its current resting place. This was a tour that we will never forget.

This was me, my wife and the tour guide. An excellent way to do this so we didn't have to bother with other travelers and all the annoyances that they bring. Made it easy to ask questions and learn. You can also indiviualize the tour to your liking.

This tour was amazing. Out guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. The history and the science behind the shroud is amazing. But the most impressive are the churches.

We took a train from Milan to Torino for the private tour but the local operator did not show up at the designated time (3 pm). No one informed us about what was going on. We contacted Viator for assistance but they could not find the local operator at first. Later we were able to connect with the local company and we were told that something had happened to the tour guide. We were upset that no one had contacted us about this, which was certainly bad business practice. After much discussion, they sent us a replacement guide, but we had to wait for an hour for her to arrive. As a result, our tour started an hour late. The replacement guide was very nice. However, since we had to catch the train back to Milan at a certain time, we had to rush and finish our tour early. As a result, the tour was only 2 hours long instead of 3. We have taken many tours from Viator before, but this was the worst experience!! We believe that we should be reimbursed for one third of the cost.

Donatella was prompt and very kind. She spoke my language perfectly and very clearly is very knowledgeable about the topic of the Shroud of Turin. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and gave me time to absorb the information. She was kind enough to show me things that aren't usually on the tour but she thought I would find interesting during my visit to Torino. I do recommend this tour!
Roxanna_P, Sep 2024
Very exciting to visit the museum and learn about the ancient shroud. Sarah did a wonderful job explaining it's journey!
Stanley_S, Sep 2023
Guide descriptions at Shroud museum were insightful and educational.
Also gave great recommendations for dinner that night.
Philomena_O, Apr 2023
Donatello who was our tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The museum was a real highlight as it had many interesting artifacts that she brought our attention to with detailed explanation. The three parts of the tour complement each other perfectly. Great value for money as someone local guide you on the path of the shroud. Very memorable and enjoyable experience. Recommend it as it was absorbing, well paced and charming tour.

We found it wonderful and with a much needed spiritual presence. We have lived and recreated the moments of martyrdom sands of knowing how the holy savanna and the history of the city were protected.
