Turin tour with a guided visit to the Egyptian Museum
Overview
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.

This museum is full of history, a truly memorable experience. Our guide was enthusiastic and knew every detail regarding this museum and about its history. Now we have a much better understanding of Egyptian life from 4,000 years ago. I highly recommend this tour!

Walked around Turin for a bit then toured the Egyptian Museum. Highly recommend the museum. Total tour of 3 hours was a bit much for second day of trip while being severely jet lagged but thru no fault of the tour.
