What people are saying about Turin
My mom and I had an amazing time on the GOURMET FOOD TOUR for TORINO. Our guide was Fabio and he was great! He even graciously waited for us since our train was delayed to Torino. He happily answered our questions regarding the food, history and culture of Torino. We would GLADLY take a tour with Fabio again. His passion for food and history is astounding!
Sophia was an excellent guide. Super friendly and knowledgeable on the history of the palace and its inhabitants. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tour guide in Turino! Many thanks
Careful visit, the guide allowed us to know unpublished details regarding the Savoy family. Without the guide we would not have appreciated the history of the palace.
A beautiful palace, beautiful surroundings and a very passionate and friendly guide. An absolute must!
The guide was energetic and knowledgable, it was fun ad well as educational.
