From the Museo Egizio to the streets of Turin: a route between history and urban beauty
The experience begins right at the Museo Egizio of Turin, one of the most fascinating buildings in the historic centre. The guide accompanies the group through the most iconic rooms, revealing the hidden meanings of hieroglyphs, sarcophagi and ancient statues that might otherwise risk passing unnoticed.
Among the protagonists of the museum tour are the famous Galleria dei Re, the perfectly preserved Tomb of Kha and Merit, and a selection of ancient papyri that still amaze scholars worldwide. Every artifact becomes a pretext to tell stories of power, religion and daily life in ancient Egypt.
Once outside the museum, the tour continues through Turin's Baroque historic centre: arcades, monumental squares, royal palaces and historic cafes complete a complete itinerary that combines archaeology and Savoy elegance.
An experience in small groups with a 4.86/5 rating: among the most appreciated in the entire city.

Useful tips
- Indossa calzature pratiche: il tour alterna ambienti interni al spazio espositivo e camminata all'aperto per le strade del centro di rilievo storico di Torino.
- Arriva qualche minuto prima dell'orario stabilito per il luogo di ritrovo: le guide iniziano puntualmente e i posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità dell'esperienza.
- Dopo il tour, approfitta della vicinanza al quadrilatero romano e ai Musei Reali per continuare la tua esplorazione di Torino in totale autonomia.
