What you'll see and do
Piazza San Carlo
Piazza San Carlo is one of the main city squares in Turin, Italy. It was laid out in the 16th and 17th century and is an example of Baroque style. Its current name is an hommage to Charles Borromeo while the square was previously known as Piazza Reale, Piazza d'Armi, and Place Napoleon. The Caval 'd brons (piedmontese for bronze horse), equestrian statue of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, by Carlo Marochetti (1838), is located at the center of the square, that is surrounded by porticos designed by Carlo di Castellamonte around 1638. The twin churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo Borromeo close the southern edge of the square. Stratta first opened its doors in 1836 as a confectionery shop and supplier to the Royal family and Count Camillo Benso di Cavour. Today it is one of the most famous historic cafés in Turin, whose success rests on a fundamental value: the family.

Piazza Carignano
Pepino's story begins in 1884 when an artisanal gelato maker of Neapolitan origins, Domenico Pepino, decided to move north, more precisely, to Turin. In addition to bringing his family of ice creamers, he brought all the tools, molds and materials for producing and packaging his cold pastry specialties. Within a few years, he opened an ice cream parlor. "Vera Gelateria Artigiana" - True Artisanal Gelato - served as the slogan, and it soon became the symbol of Turin's greatest cold pastry. 939 was a pivotal year in the company's history. After a long period of experimentation and study, Gelati Pepino finally patented and marketed the first gelato in the world to be served on a stick covered by chocolate: Pinguino® - the Penguin - (Patent No. 58033).

Brilliant and interesting
The chocolate tasting exceeded our expectations with very very good chocolate and a brilliant history information from our Tour guide Silvia.

History with some chocolate
I would describe this as a combo Turin History Tour and chocolate tasting as the first hour was history. Part of our family group had a hard time with the history emphasis since it was described as chocolate. We did go to several high end chocolate shops and one ice cream shop where we were treated to tasting and/or samples. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating
Response from the operator: Dear Michelle, as we say in Italian “prima il dovere e poi il piacere” (first the tears and then the cakes), so in order for you to appreciate the true taste of Turin chocolate in the city's best historic cafes, it was important to better understand its history, and why Turin is so connected to the history of this delicious food of the gods. That's why the combination of history, tasting and walking is the best way to enjoy this experience!

CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Turin.
How much does CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Turin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does CioccolaTOur, discover the sweet side of Turin tasting the most famous chocolate start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Turin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Turin?
+
On Outty we rank every Turin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Turin: Small-group Walking Tour of Top City Highlights, Highlights and hidden gems of Turin Bike Tour, StreetFood D’Luxe Experience — Tastes of Turin. 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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
