Turin history, art & nature in one place

3 reviews
This tour is the perfect choice if you like baroque and landscape art, history, royal mansions, medieval castles and want to enjoy the riverside, squirrels and ducks in the most ancient public park of Turin.<br><br>The Valentino park is a must to see in Turin and you will appreciate it even more with someone who has been living in the city for 44 years that will show you with knowledge and humor (why not?) also more hidden spots, in addition to the main features.<br><br>It's also nice to walk alone, but with an insider's explanation, without missing even a corner and in good company, it will be quite another thing!<br><br>The park hosts the Rock Garden (crossed by paved paths, little streams, water features, terraces, contemporary sculptures), a French style baroque castle owned by the royal family, a charming Medieval Village with its artisan shops and drawbridge, the impressive Fountain of the 12 Months and much more.<br><br>Plus, each season has its own charm and you won't be disappointed even in the cold months!<br><br>I'll be also at your complete disposal for any questions about Turin/Italy: what to visit, where to eat, transport, culture, language, etc. to make your experience as useful as possible. Consider me like your LOCAL FRIEND, not a guide! <br><br>*** IMPORTANT: The visit can start between 11am and 5pm, depending on the weather, season...<br><br>THE SCHEDULE YOU SEE ONLINE IS MERELY INDICATIVE, CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING. <br><br>✓✓✓ Please WRITE to me BEFORE booking (to +39 33 94 60 48 85 or here in the Questions &amp; Answers) also since, depending on your availability and language, another day/hour would fit you better and I could ask you to change the day (the tour can be in 4 languages).

Truly an art collector's collection - the crystals, porcelains, silverware and furniture pieces were chosen by Mr Accorsi and purchased with much devotion to beauty, heritage n rarity. It helped that we were loaned an English guide book to follow the hour-long Italian-only guided tour through 20+ rooms each with a special theme - this way, we were able to maximise our time n read within the guide book whatever artwork that stood out. Check for guided tour timing to avoid waiting too long. Situated just off Via Po.

Covers the decorative arts of the last 300 years in Europe through displays of different household rooms. Needs more captions and descriptions. Rather a lot of duplication.

If you do venture to this small and lovely museum - do not miss the restaurant Marimisti right next door! This museum is on the Torino & Piedmonte Card - a must purchase if you are in Turin for 3+ days. You only need one hour here and you must be guided through it. The guides speak no English however you are given a few pages which offer the highlights in English to read along with your guide. Our guide was a lovely, elderly gentlemen and since it was just the two of us plus him, we were able to have a good time trying to understand each other. The fine decorate items and furniture were outstanding. You are allowed to take photographs. And for only 1 Euro can bring home a box of their matches. A great museum to visit enroute to the River Po.

Loved this little museum. Welcoming guides who did their best to help you and were very informative despite the language barrier. Beautiful house and art work - a MUST to see

This private museum is included in the Torino museum card and worth seeing as part of your tour. You cannot tour alone and have to be accompanied by a guide, with tours on the hour and half hour. As I was entirely alone, the guide spoke in English, but normally the tours are in Italian. There's a lot to see, ranging from rooms packed with china to others with crystal, to others with snuff boxes. Every room is unique, but many are set as they would have been for the Savoy family. However, they are recreations. The Savoy family never lived here.
