What You Will Do

My tour is focused on the past and present beauty of Turin in terms of architecture, art, curious stories and Turin's lifestyle, in the lively late afternoon or under the suggestive lights in the evening. So you will have the whole day to visit the museums and then with me you will see the authentic Turin, plus what the Turinese do and where they go after work. Turin is also a smart and easy day trip from Milan by train (1 hour journey, fares from €10 one way by "Italo" trains). We'll visit the medieval and Roman district, my favorite, where I have chosen to live and that I know far and wide, with its cobblestone streets and picturesque houses, the market and its hidden gems, the oldest part of Turin and where real people live. With me you'll see a less touristic face of Turin, not easy to discovery on your own or with other guides, far from the usual highlights. With an attention to DETAILS that all tourists miss, but you won't! ;-) - Is it true that Turin people are cold and fake? - Why is the architecture so different in just few blocks? - Did you know that the "aperitivo" ritual was born in Turin? - Have you ever been in an "infernotto"? Don't expect to just walking and listening: get ready to chat, ask questions and discuss Turin's past, present and future, far beyond the surface, on a trip from 2025 to 25 BC. I suggest this tour if you want to understand the city with a NATIVE Art and Cinema historian (with studies also about Preservation of Culture and Art Heritage), born and raised in Turin, who knows many intriguing anecdotes and unique places that you couldn't otherwise find on your own. My style is ironical, informal and interactive: forget about the bored guides with the umbrella, their big groups and list of dates memorized by heart, as I want to give 100% of my attention to everyone and want you to deeply understand the city. And you can ask all the questions you want, always at your pace and with a smile! Consider me your LOCAL FRIEND, not a guide! I'll share also some anecdotes of my ver

Turin

In just 2 hours you will see a very significant and authentic part of Turin without worrying about planning where to go, how to access certain more private places, without studying anything about Turin: I did it for you so you don't have to worry about anything , just to enjoy your visit and learn as much as possible in a relaxed way. My tour does not cover legends, magic, ghosts, etc, and it's nota food tour, but if you want to grab something, we can stop by quickly. The particularities of my tour compared to other tours: 1) a deep knowledge/focus on architecture 2) humor and conviviality as between friends 3) many curious anecdotes 4) access to private places away from mass tourism 5) availability also at night when the city is at its best 6) useful information material before and after the tour 7) assistance via W.App from 12:00pm to 12:00am for any help about your trip 8) max 6 people 9) I have 4 cats who love to be cuddled ;-)
