What you'll see and do
Travel back in time and relive the splendor, luxuries and daily life of the pharaohs and queens of Ancient Egypt. The Egyptian Museum of Turin - the world's first Egyptian Museum, second in importance only to the Cairo Museum - houses about 300,000 finds, 26,000 of which are kept in warehouses for scientific research. Mummies, papyri and funerary finds of the great pharaohs make it an unmissable location for anyone visiting the city of Turin. The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities was founded in 1824 when King Carlo Felice purchased a large collection of Egyptian antiquities - from statues, sarcophagi and mummies to papyri, bronzes, amulets and everyday objects - initially put together by egyptologist Vitaliano Donati and later expanded by Bernardino Drovetti, Consul General of France in Egypt. Thanks to excavations conducted in Egypt in the late 19th century and in the 1930s, the collection continued to expand until it reached its extraordinary grandeur of today.

Galleria San Federico
The prestigious Galleria San Federico is a place of passage, business and leisure, a home of timeless beauty, where the ancient rhythm of the past meets the frenzy of the present. For almost a century it has been home to luxury shops and representative offices, elegant bars and restaurants, the headquarters of the La Stampa newspaper and Juventus football club, as well as the historic Lux cinema. Now completely restored, Galleria San Federico has returned to its former splendour. A charm rich in memories that raises the bar for the future: an architectural jewel shining in a new light.

Palazzo Carignano
Piazza Carignano, built as an appendix of the Contrada Nuova cut, today Via Roma, is considered Turin's elegant living room: its project is due to Benedetto Alfieri, while Giovanni Battista Feroggio is responsible for its realisation, which took place around 1787. The Monument to Vincenzo Gioberti by Giovanni Albertoni, dated 1859, stands out in the centre of the square, where the Palazzo Carignano and the Teatro Carignano are located. Still in existence since 1757 is the Cambio restaurant, once frequented by Camillo Benso Count of Cavour and many Italian deputies of the kingdom.

Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo
The ancient little church of Santa Maria del Presepio was restored in 1563 and dedicated to San Lorenzo by Duke Emanuele Filiberto, to comply with a vow made during the Battle of San Quintino on 10 August 1557. The project for the construction of the present church, built on the pre-existing structure, was entrusted in 1666 to Guarino Guarini, who created one of his most significant works. In particular, the interior architecture and the dome were a turning point for Turin Baroque, while the high altar, an innovative masterpiece, is one of the most important in northern Italy. In place of the façade, designed by Guarini and never realised, the façade of a civil building was erected, so as not to distract people's attention from the Centre of Power, the nearby Ducal Palace.

Palazzo Reale Di Torino
Delimited by Pelagio Palagi's gate, which closes off Piazzetta Reale, the building was the residence of the Savoy family and the first king of Italy until 1865: it was then still used by the Royal Family until 1946. The 16th century layout was designed by Ascanio Vittozzi, followed by the other court architects Carlo and Amedeo di Castellamonte, Carlo Morello, who designed the façade, and Maurizio Valperga. Finally, Guarino Guarini was responsible for the final solution of the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which started out as a palatine chapel. Starting from the first decades of the 18th century, first Filippo Juvarra and then Benedetto Alfieri deployed their art in the updating of the Royal Apartments. Juvarra was responsible for the spectacular Scala delle Forbici (Scissors Staircase) and the Gallery, then known as the Galleria della Regina (Queen's Gallery), which today houses the Royal Armoury.

Visit to the Egyptian Museum in Torino
Very nice museum. We learn a lot about the history of Egypt. Document in Italian and English. Some documents in French, Spanish and German. Audio guide for children (Italian or English). Very large museum on 4-5 floors. Statue, archives, audio documentary... are present there. I recommend visiting if you are near Turin or in Piedmont.

very beautiful night excursion, a view of the city seen from above.
It was the first time I went to TURIN and I must say that I was happy to have visited it. Like big cities it is very chaotic but in a short time I had the opportunity to visit the EGYPTIAN MUSEUM, VILLA REALE AND THE TOWER OF THE MOLINETTE. all very nice but you need to have more time to discover the beauties of this city. we will return

Very bad
Very boring driving We a group of 20 people including 11 Guide not suitable for a group of 11 adults and 8 teenagers Very boring City tour apart from castle square we visited nothing else Without earphones difficult to follow the explanation Inside the Egyptian museum we had better get an audio guide Probably would have been more interesting Very boring school explanation no anecdote no curiosity
Response from the operator: Buongiorno Monica, ho avuto davvero difficoltà a capire se davvero lei avesse fatto un tour con noi, poi mi sono messa a cercare e dalle email sono riuscita - immagino - a risalire alla sua prenotazione. Intanto ci tengo a precisare che lei NON HA MAI EFFETTUATO UN TOUR CON NOI, ma ha fatto un tour con una nostra collega, che ovviamente non nominerò in questa sede, per rispetto. Io, Micol, le ho fatto le prenotazioni, sia per il museo egizio che per la Venaria Reale e poi ho semplicemente passato il servizio alla collega, che ha fatto il servizio e ha incassato direttamente il compenso. In cambio io le ho anticipato i costi dei biglietti, le ho consigliato di comprare le torino card per risparmiare sugli ingressi, le ho consigliato dove mangiare, cosa vedere, se prenotare o meno i musei che avreste visto da soli. Mi sono spesa - gratuitamente - per far si che la vostra vacanza fosse più confortevole possibile ( ovviamente ho tutti i messaggi WhatsApp e anche l’e-mail). Quindi mi chiedo: 1) perché visto che è stata due giorni con la mia collega, non è stata capace di dirle che non sia trovata bene e ha aspettato per scriverlo qui? 2) perché ho pensato di utilizzare il suo profilo nuovo su TripAdvisor per fare appositamente una recensione negativa noi? Non sapendo nemmeno che non la stava facendo alla sua guida? 3) per quale motivo ha scritto la stessa recensione due volte? Anche sotto un tour che non l’ha fatto perché così come proposto non era in vendita in quel momento? Non so se lei si rende conto di quello che è stato il periodo del covid per le persone che lavorano nel turismo. Perché se lei si rendesse conto, probabilmente non avrebbe mai e poi mai scritto una recensione così inutilmente e gratuitamente cattiva.

Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Turin.
How much does Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide cost?
+
Prices start at $343 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Turin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Turin is not rushed.
Is Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Turin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide?
+

Is Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Turin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Turin and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of Turin & Egyptian Museum skip the line with a private guide start and how do I get there?
+

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Turin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Turin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
