    VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

    The guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional!!. Highly recommended if you are planning to visit Turin. What is also really commendable, and very rare these days, that the tour doesn't get cancelled even if you’re the only person on the tour !!!!

    Turin in autumn

    This is the best time to visit Turin, beyond the various museums and taste the gastronomic specialties, I recommend a walk along the Po where you can admire the beautiful autumn colors.

    Response from the operator: Grazie per le bellissime parole, facciamo tutto il possibile per poter gioire della bellezza del nostro patrimonio culturale e paesaggistico e le nostre guide sono fondamentali per poter trasmettere tutta la loro passione e conoscenza! Spero di rivedervi presto, un caro saluto, Mattia

    Beautiful city and very clean. Definitely more beautiful than I expected. We visited the Egyptian Museum with a private guide. Great experience.

    An excellent local guide

    This is an excellent tour and it proceeds even if you’re the only person in the group plus you don’t have to pay $250 for a private tour. She is very comprehensive and showed me all the must see places and even pointed to the important sights to visit that we were not able to go to because our time ran out. I had a very wonderful day seeing Turin for the first time in the eyes of someone who grew up there and loves her city.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, we are pleased that our service was to your liking.
