Your Itinerary

Piazza San Carlo

Piazza San Carlo, the aptly named "lounge" of Turin, is a miracle of elegance. The harmony of this huge area, on which work began in 1619, is down to Carlo di Castellamonte.

Admission Not Included

Piazza Castello

Piazza Castello, this large rectangular esplanade is the true centre of Turin. At first, you may only have eyes for the dazzling Palazzo Madama, then your gaze will turn to the façade of the majestic Palazzo Reale.

Admission Not Included

Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone

The metropolitan cathedral of San Giovanni Battista is the main place of Catholic worship in Turin, located in the square of the same name, and cathedral of the archdiocese of Turin. Built at the end of the 15th century, it is the only religious building in Renaissance style in the city.

Admission Not Included

Porta Palatina

Porta Palatina (1C AD), is considered one of the best preserved in the Roman world. If you look closely you will see the furrows created by the carriages in the stones of the old road.

Admission Not Included

Mole Antonelliana

Mole Antonelliana, major landmark of the city, this 167m-high tower was a bold design, built in 1863 by the architect Alessandro Antonielli to serve as a place of worship for Turin's Jewish community. It was sold to the municipality in 1877, and today houses the fabulous collection of the National Cinema Museum.

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 !!!!

cmarkcapistrano

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.

Questo è il periodo più bello per visitare Torino, oltre i vari musei e assaporare le specialità gastronomiche, vi consiglio una passeggiata lungo il Po dove potete ammirare i bellissimi colori autunnali.

Città bellissima e molto pulita. Decisamente più bella di quello che mi aspettavo. Abbiamo visitato il Museo egizio con una guida privata. Esperienza magnifica.
