Don’t miss it! - If there were more than five stars, we would eagerly award them. Our excellent guide, Sophia, is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, and responsive. It was a treat getting to know her, but her tour was truly excellent. It gave us the distinct impression that Turin is Italy’s most underrated city. It is amazing!

Excellent Tour - Sofia was excellent! So knowledgeable and fun. Gave us enough history to understand context without offering a dissertation. But was happy and able to go deeper when asked. Brought this amazing city to life for us. Can’t recommend highly enough.
