Piazza San Carlo is considered the "living room" of Turin. It is known like this because there are numerous cafés where politicians, philosophers and people in general get their coffee.
Piazza Carignano is one of the main squares of Turin.
The Duomo of Turin is one of the most important churches of the city. Right next to it and connected to the church there is a small chapel, where the Holy Shroud is preserved. It is visible to the public only in certain days during the year.
The Royal Palace was the residence of the first king of Italy, of the Savoia family. If you have a chance, don't miss a visit inside. It is truly a beauty with features of the era it was built.
Via Po is a street of Turin where the Mole Antonelliana is located.
The Mole Antonelliana was built to be a synagogue, but then was used as a museum. Today it is the famous Museum of Cinema and from the top you can see a marvellous view of the whole city.

Alex did a wonderful just explaining the history and architecture of Torino to my wife and I during our 2-3 hour walking tour. He also provided us with a Vermouth tasting (not generally part of the tour) at a local shop.
We saw the most beautiful the most beautiful buildings Art Deco (Liberty style). We saw the ones in the center beginning with the Subalpina Gallery and then took the tram to see the others (the best ones)
Our guide, Alessio, was very knowledgeable and charming. Could not have asked for a better personalized tour of Turin. Highly recommend!
Carlo was wonderful! He took me to significant historical locations as well as great social gathering places. The cafés were amazing! He shared how they played a part in the history of Turin. I also had the opportunity to enjoy a beverage of chocolate and coffee! The dark chocolate I purchased was delightful! Turin is definitely a gem in the rough. The pace here is much more relaxed than Rome or Florence. It still has a significant role in Italy’s history. The tour is a must!
Barbara was a terrific guide. We had such fun learning the history of Turin. She was informative, enjoyable and professional. Run don’t walk to book this tour.
We are very sad that we didn’t get our guide’s name but she was superb. Took us to all the essential places - palaces, cafes, arcades, museums, markets - so we got our bearings with the history and architecture as well as the geography. Gave us great tips all the way and tailored things to our interests so we could come back and visit sites later. She was intellligent and friendly and a truly great ambassador for her wonderful city. Absolutely highly recommended!
Thanks to little interest, we were lucky enough to get a private tour from the very knowledgeable, driven and most friendly Chiara. She showed us various sides of Turin, supplemented with nice suggestions regarding the further implementation of our weekend and addresses for restaurants. Great!!
Good entry to get to know Turin, really recommended. Our guide spoke excellent English and could explain the historical context perfectly. We were thrilled.
Romina was a fantastic tour guide! Her knowledge and passion for Torino made this tour fun and exciting!
