The experience

The Reggia of Venaria sits just outside Turin as one of the Savoy family's grandest residences, and this tour puts you inside with a guide who knows the palace's layers. You'll spend three hours moving through rooms designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte, starting with the Hall of Diana and moving into the Great Gallery: the spaces where the royal court once moved and entertained. The guide walks you through the furnishings and the Baroque details that have survived, and you get time to photograph the rooms properly instead of rushing through.

The second half of the tour takes you into the Court of Honor and the complex Filippo Juvarra designed. You'll see the church, the Bucentaur (an ornate gilded boat sculpture), and the Fountain of the Stag. The pieces that made this palace a statement of power and taste. The guide ties the spaces to the history of the Savoy dynasty, so the rooms become more than decoration. They're evidence of how the royal family lived and what they wanted visitors to understand about their rule.

Small groups mean you're not herded through with fifty other people, and the palace is fully wheelchair accessible if you need it. The tour operates in English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language, so you can book in whichever works for you. You can choose a private tour if you'd rather have the guide to yourself, or join the standard group departure.
