Beautiful tour of Turin - Giada, friendly and very knowledgeable, very pleasant and informative tour. Too bad it only lasts 2 hours! Thank you so much for letting us discover so many wonders of Turin.

Excellent guides. Highly recommend. - Sophia and Ciara were excellent guides, greeting us warmly, answering our questions and sharing their deep knowledge of Turin. Turin is a beautiful city, well cared for and with excellent historic and cultural facilities. We preferred it to Rome!
We were lucky enough to have two guides as the very experienced Ciara was trying out guiding in English. She did brilliantly and was wonderfully supported by Sophia.
We’d highly recommend both guides for their knowledge, their style of guiding and their English.

Excellent tour. Friendly guide. - This was a wonderful tour. Our small group consisted of 4 women, so our guide, Giada, took advantage of this to highlight the information about the various times that women ruled this beautiful city. She is very knowledgeable about Turin’s history and was open and receptive to questions. We found the information about the city’s cafe’s particularly interesting and made a point of grabbing some delicious dessert at one of them. I also really enjoyed the history of Il Mole, the city’s iconic landmark.
If you are assigned Giada for a tour of Turin, you’ll be in luck!

Interesting tour around the city centre - Very good tour with Sofia in a small group of six.
We had to wait at the start for a late arrival but Sofia used that time to explain some of the history of Torino.
We saw most of the main sights in the city centre and the tour was very interesting and informative.
