I mostly chose to visit Turin because of the Holy Shroud and I am so happy to have gone in. I was also fortunate to have a friendly local person show me around. He even didn’t mind extending the tour a little bit to enjoy an antipasto food sampling at a local favorite restaurant. There was a very nice park with Roman ruins and statue of Julius Caesar. If touring with Lokafy or Viator, ask for Mohamed. For shopping, make sure to stroll Via Lagrange and Via Roma. Outstanding tour!

Even with drizzly weather, I had a great time. The guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this as an introduction to the city before your full sightseeing.

We fell in love with Turin because of this tour. A perfect blend of historical and modern sites in the city. Our tour guide Romina was excellent. I have never seen a tour guide so passionate about her city and the great sites to see. My wife and I loved the tour and highly recommend this tour on your first day in the city to get acclimated with everything there is to see.

Stefano took us on a nice walk through Torino. My wife and I were the only people on the tour. It was like having a friend take you on a tour of their hometown. Stefano gave great insight into the history of the town and we had great back and forth as we walked around the city. With a bigger group this may not be as feasible but it worked out great for us.

Stefan, our guide, did a wonderful job. English language skill was excellent. Commentary was superb. He kept a reasonable pace and took care to ensure all 8 people on the tour could hear what he was saying. Highly recommended.
