What people are saying about Turin
Natalia our guide was awesome. Had some trouble getting in the first castle but Natalia stood her ground and wouldn't give up - she got us in. The vineyard in Canavese was wonderful. Domenico was welcoming and his love and passion for his vineyard shone through. The wines were superb and he helped us with our order and arranged shipping. The place was beautiful, peaceful, and we would highly recommend visiting.
Best choice! Everything was so organised! It was easy to find the meeting point, people there were friendly, patient and very helpful! Total value for money! We had the chance to visit many museums, castles and palaces! I would totally suggest it and of course prefer it when I'll visit Torino again!
It's very convenient! In just 2 days I managed to see the Museo Egizio, Museo del Cinema, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Reale, Mole Antonelliana, Chiesa Madre di Dio, Borgo Medievale with tour in Parco del Valentino. If I had booked them separately, it would have cost me over 100 €
It was a pleasant two hours spent in the company of a local guide who was able to explain the history of the dishes we tasted, without her we would never have found these fantastic places! Thanks
Excellent card for visit many place of Turin. In some museum there is also the guide included (e.g. Egypt Museum with a phone in many language, in Superga to the royal tombs only in italian).
