In this church in Turin, there is the holy shroud. When you enter it, look at the left side of whoever enters. There is a video that shows images of the holy shroud and in the background there are the relics. In fact, you don't see the holy shroud, because it is under lock and key elsewhere...

Donatello who was our tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The museum was a real highlight as it had many interesting artifacts that she brought our attention to with detailed explanation. The three parts of the tour complement each other perfectly. Great value for money as someone local guide you on the path of the shroud. Very memorable and enjoyable experience. Recommend it as it was absorbing, well paced and charming tour.

Silvana was great and knowledgeable, but I would not recommend this tour. With all the history of Torino and the things the City has to offer, this tour feels like a lot of redundancy all about the shroud which could be covered in one hour instead of three. There is no reason for this tour to be this long and this expensive since you won’t get to see the shroud anyways. I personally did not care for three hours of pictures and replicas.
