An experience that...
An experience that enriches one's knowledge of the city, the guides are professional and very talented, and in addition to the rich basic information, they delighted us with stories, details, and curiosities that would otherwise be difficult to find.
The weakest moment, for me, was the visit to the prisons, saved a little by a nice surprise that I do not intend to reveal to future visitors.
I would recommend evaluating the use of transportation more suitable for carrying a limited number of visitors (the use of a regular bus with over 40 seats is therefore a waste, which unnecessarily increases the ticket price, not to mention the environmental impact)
Operator response
Grazie Katarzyna per aver dedicato tempo a una recensione così dettagliata.
Ci fa molto piacere che Torino Sotterranea® le abbia permesso di conoscere la città da una prospettiva più profonda, anche attraverso storie, curiosità e dettagli meno facilmente reperibili, e che abbia apprezzato la professionalità delle nostre guide.
La ringraziamo anche per l’osservazione sulla tappa delle prigioni e sul mezzo di trasporto. La scelta del veicolo dipende da diversi aspetti organizzativi e dalla disponibilità operativa della giornata, ma il suo suggerimento sul rapporto tra numero di partecipanti, costi e impatto ambientale è certamente uno spunto utile da tenere in considerazione.
E grazie anche per aver custodito il segreto sulla sorpresa finale! Speriamo di ritrovarla presto in un’altra esperienza Somewhere alla scoperta di un altro lato insolito di Torino.

Great discovery
Very good guide, very pleasant. The tour of the tunnels only accounts for 15 minutes of the entire duration of the visit. There is a whole historical section told by the guide about Pietro Micca, the citadel, and the tunnels. Next, there is a tour of an air-raid shelter, then a tour of ruins located at a public parking lot.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed Underground Turin® and appreciated both the guide and the historical storytelling. The tour is designed as a broader journey through Turin’s underground history, combining tunnels, Pietro Micca and the Citadel, an air-raid shelter and other hidden remains. We also take note of your 4-star rating and appreciate your feedback on the time spent in the tunnels.

A fascinating journey into the bowels of Turin... ruined only by an unpleasant episode
Participating in the Turin Underground tour was an extremely interesting and exciting experience. Descending below the city's surface reveals a hidden face, rich in charm, history, and unpredictable suggestions. The route is very well structured and offers continuous curiosities about a pleasant Turin that is just waiting to be discovered.
A round of applause for excellence goes in particular to the guide Raffaella: exceptionally prepared, brilliant, and capable of engaging the group with great mastery. With her passion, she managed to transform every historical anecdote into a vivid story, keeping everyone's attention very high from beginning to end. A true professional in the sector!
⚠️ A sore point: the incident at the Pietro Micca Museum
Unfortunately, such a pleasant evening was ruined by an unpleasant incident that deserves to be reported. Upon arriving in front of the Pietro Micca Museum, a museum volunteer who arrived in his Jeep to open the museum thought it best to park the vehicle in the space reserved for disabled people, despite there being several other completely free parking spaces in the immediate vicinity.
Being very sensitive to the issue (having a relative with a disability), I approached him to kindly ask him to display the regular permit.
The volunteer's reaction was totally rude:
He immediately confronted me with arrogance, asking me who I was and if I was part of the booked group.
Upon my confirmed presence on the tour and my observation that it was not right to occupy that spot, he replied irritably that he "would not let me in."
He then justified the fact by claiming that "after a certain hour it is normal to park there" — as if the rights of people with disabilities expired at a set time or disabled people only went out during the day!
I find that the arrogance and incivility of this single individual do not do honor to the excellent work done by the rest of the staff and the guides.
Operator response
Grazie per aver raccontato con tanta attenzione la sua esperienza. Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato la struttura di Torino Sotterranea®, il percorso nella storia nascosta della città e il lavoro del nostro team.
Ci dispiace molto, invece, per l’episodio avvenuto davanti al Museo Pietro Micca. Come abbiamo già avuto modo di dirle anche telefonicamente, i volontari del Museo non fanno parte del team Somewhere né dipendono dalla nostra organizzazione. Ci scusiamo comunque sinceramente per la maleducazione che ha dovuto subire durante una serata che, fino a quel momento, era stata così positiva.
La ringraziamo anche per aver distinto questo spiacevole episodio dalla qualità del tour e del lavoro svolto dal nostro staff. Speriamo davvero di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro per un’altra esperienza a Torino con Somewhere.

Nice route through Turin
Nice experience. Unfortunately it was only in Italian but where possible we got an English translation. Nice to see a different side of Turin.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering a different and less familiar side of Turin through our underground itinerary. Although this departure was available in Italian, we’re pleased our team could provide English explanations where possible to help you follow the experience. We hope to welcome you again for another Somewhere tour in Turin.

Fascinating
It was a very interesting tour. To learn about the citadel was fascinating. The Resistance Underground tunnels were amazing.

History of the underground was impressive
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.
Operator response
Thank you, Kristine! We’re glad Underground Turin® gave you such a strong sense of the city’s hidden history and layout, and that Ileana’s explanations helped bring it to life. We also appreciate your note about the transition to the outdoor section; the itinerary connects several sites and periods, and your feedback helps us make that narrative flow even clearer. Thank you as well for recommending the experience.

Turin underground
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...
Operator response
Grazie Massimo per una recensione così ricca! Siamo molto felici che Torino Sotterranea® le sia sembrata ben strutturata, dettagliata e capace di trasmettere emozioni forti attraverso luoghi e testimonianze della storia della città. Il suo suggerimento su una piccola preparazione storica iniziale è interessante e utile. Grazie anche per aver consigliato l’esperienza a tutte le età: speriamo di ritrovarla presto in un’altra scoperta Somewhere!
