Nice experience. Unfortunately it was only in Italian but where possible we got an English translation. Nice to see a different side of Turin.
It was a very interesting tour. To learn about the citadel was fascinating. The Resistance Underground tunnels were amazing.
The History of the underground was impressive and our guide (Ileana) painted the story well using the topographical map in the museum. We found very helpful to understand the layout of the city etc. The underground itself was impressive. The remainder of the tour walking outside was nice but it felt disconnected to the start of the tour. Would still recommend.
There are no suggestions to follow. The visit is well detailed and already fascinating in its own right. Perhaps I would suggest a minimum of historical preparation to better follow the detailed descriptions of the museum guide and staff... Highly recommended for all ages! The visit to the anti-aircraft museum in the “new” prisons is a journey full of historical sensations and modern thrills...
Excellent, interesting and informative tour of the tunnels of the citadel in Turin. Lots of useful information about Turin's history.
Very interesting tour made engaging by the guide Antonio, prepared and nice person. Congratulations to the organization!
The tour is a fascinating look on Italian history starting in 1700 going forward. In addition to walking through a maze of tunnels used to defend Turin against its enemies, you are taken to a WWII bomb shelter and a parking garage built around Roman ruins.
Beautiful experience made very interesting by our super guide Roberto who told us the story of underground Turin in a simple but detailed way making it very engaging!
We speak English knowing this tour was in Italian. Still very worth it. For one part of the tour, there were headsets with prerecorded English. This covered more ground than we realized. The fort area has a lot of history and has its own museum. There are a lot of visuals in the museum to explain the layout. Very interesting, especially if you like history. Also went to an old jail and a place where they stored ice.
Our your guide was very knowledgeable and created great interest in the underground tunnels. I truly enjoyed going to the air raid shelter.
