Turin Royal Palace Tour: Apartments & Holy Shroud ChapelA private guided tour of Turin's Royal Palace takes you through the Savoy family apartments, the Royal Armoury's weapons and Renaissance armours, and ends at the Holy Shroud Chapel—a 2-hour visit with a Blue Badge guide who skips the lines. The chapel itself is connected to the palace by an elevated passageway designed by architect Guarino Guarini to match the Duomo's height. Note: the Shroud itself remains sealed in a box for preservation; you see the chapel and the Duomo where it is held.Is it for me?If you are arriving in Turin for an afternoon or have a few hours free and no car, a private guide means you do not have to navigate the palace layout or wait at the entrance—you walk in and move through the rooms at a pace that lets you absorb the history without the crowd.
