The 3 of us- 3 generations of women -had a great time! Cecelia was friendly & knowledgeable. Shared some of Turin's history with us as we tasted all the chocolate. Fun for everyone..
What a fantastic experience. Cecilia is an amazing host and did a wonderful job teaching us the history of chocolate in Turin. We learned so much while having the opportunity to try various types of chocolate and how they pair with wines and coffee. Not only did we learn about chocolate and how to truly enjoy them, we learned about Turin and her love of this beautiful city. By the time it was over she felt like family to us. Can’t wait to come back and have her host us on a food tour.
Cecilia was a wonderful guide — very upbeat, friendly, and engaging throughout the tour. The only thing I wish had been included was a list afterward of the amazing chocolates we tasted at each stop. When we went back to purchase some, we didn’t know exactly what we had tried, and unfortunately the shops didn’t either. Luckily, I had taken pictures! Another option could be allowing a little time to purchase chocolates right after each tasting. That said, I completely understand not wanting the experience to feel sales-focused, so I can see why she chose not to incorporate that. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
Fantastic tour with Cecilia, trying some wonderful chocolate from chocolate masters. Also really good gelato from a shop that has won awards - they even do gelato for dogs! Cecilia has a wealth of knowledge that she is happy to pass on. An added bonus is after any of their tours you will get an email with a list of suggested places to try out. Highly Recommended if you love chocolate and ice cream
Cecilia is an amazing guide! Her knowledge is exceptional. My wife and I learned so much from her. It was wonderful to spend the afternoon with her. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the tour for you. Highly recommended!
Our experience was very entertaining and informed. The best chocolates were chosen for our delight. The biscine was excellent and the gelato tasting was accompanied by a fresh incite into how the flavours are achieved. Cecillia was engaging, her love forTurin was evident and she was happy to share her knowledge and passion with us. A very enjoyable morning.
We had a great time with our host Cecelia. She is very knowledgeable about chocolate and local history. She welcomed our questions and treated us to a wonderful tasting experience of different chocolates and sweets.
Cecilia provided a tour that was customized to our personalized interests in the culture, history and local characteristics of how hazel nuts, gelato, chocolate and coffee have shaped the region around Torino. She took us to some of the top notch historical boutiques to sample these products. This is a must tour for serious foodies.
My sister and I had a fantastic morning exploring Torino with Cecilia. The tasting selections Cecilia made were wonderful. I am still dreaming of the Bicerin! If you are planning a trip to Torino, you won't regret booking this tour. It was a highlight of our trip to Italy.
We booked this tour the day before we did it and had great easy communication with Cecilia over text regarding some questions and meeting point. When we did the tour it was just me and my partner and it was like we were going out with a friend with Cecilia she was brilliant. I have some mobility issues and Cecilia was kind and patient. There was only one set of stairs which was no problem at all and not very much walking and we sat down at all the stops so for me it was perfect. We learned a lot and had some really great tastings. We bought stuff to take home as we went. We had chocolate, gelato, cakes and drinks and also learned about hazelnuts and the spreads Cecilia couldn’t have done any more for us I strongly recommend this tour and her This was the best thing we did all trip
Do not miss this wonderful tour and fabulous Cecilia! I have been on many tours in Italy and Europe, and Cecilia is the warmest, kindest, most interesting and fun guide I have ever had. Her love of Turin and its chocolate tradition are a joy to be with and she took us to the best places that Turin has to offer. I went to as many chocolate shops as I could and the stops on this tour were by far the best. At the end of the tour Cecilia felt like family and we were sad to say goodbye. If you are taking any chocolate tour in Turin, make this the one. One of my best experiences in my 6 week trip in Italy!
The best chocolate experience and the best hostess. It's like a culinary experience meets a friend who knows everything about chocolate (and Turin) and is super passionate about her craft in an authentic and radiant way!
We absolutely adored every minute of our chocolate tasting experience with Cecilia! She took such good care of us and made it one of the most memorable tours we have every been on anywhere in the world. Her enthusiasm was contagious and she was a joy to spend the afternoon with. The places she took us to were all gems that we would not have discovered on our own. Everything we tasted was world class and packed with flavor and surprise! The explanations gave us unique insight into the culture of Turin. We highly recommend this amazing tour in the beautiful city. It is worth every penny. When I am back at work, sitting at my desk, this is a memory that will make me smile.
Such an lovely and warm welcome from start to finish, Cecilia really listens and adjusts to your own preferences for the tour so we got the best possible outcome we could've hoped for!
The chocolate experience was Amazing and fun for all ages. The chocolate ambassador was very knowledgeable and personable.
A wonderful tour which highlights the delicious tastes of Italy! We had a very helpful tour guide who told us about the different histories of each chocolate house. I highly recommend for the sweet tooth lovers
We had an incredible experience on this Tours. Our guide Cecilia was awesome and did such a great job relating to our children while still providing a good amount of historical information which was very important for our understanding of how and why Torino is the Chocolate capital of the world. Also, she was great on providing some tips about the city and other ideas throughout our time in Italy. Cecilia is a gem and highly recommend this tour!
Such a fun tour with Cecilia! Very small group and so many good treats and stories. Really enjoyed her enthusiasm for her city of Torino and the fun facts she shared about all things chocolate and sweets. Top quality shops and a fun way to spend a few hours.
We really enjoyed this experience and learned a lot about confectionery and Turin. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable.
My husband and I truly enjoyed the tour with Cecilia. It was very informative and most of all enjoyable. Turin chocolate is indeed world class and the gelato.. wow! Bicherin is a must try. But what made the tour exceptional is Cecilia. She was the perfect tour guide. She is very personable and fun. We highly recommend this company and tour. Book your tour with this company and you’ll thank us for it.
We had the best time on the Chocolate and Sweets Tasting Tour in Turin! Cecilia was an amazing guide and so much fun to spend the day with. She knows so much about the food of her city and is enthusiastic to share her knowledge with visitors. Everything we tasted was delicious, and we are now big fans of Bicerin. I wish we had also gone on the savory food tour! We’ll have to go back...
Cecilia our guide was an absolute wonder! She shared the history of chocolate in Turin and how hazelnut wa first incorporated into chocolate in Turin. We bought something at each stop she took us on. Each stop was better than the next. This tour will definitely expand what you think you know about chocolate and Italy. Enjoy!
If you want to learn to love Turin from the very first moment, you should take a tour with Cecilia! Discovering the city through its connection to chocolate was a great experience for us, and we will definitely treat ourselves to another Bicerin or two. The small group size also makes the tour very personalised.
We actually did two tours with I Eat Food Tours (chocolate + savory), and my boyfriend and I agreed these were our favorites in Italy. Cecilia and Abram define Italian hospitality and warmth. It was so fun getting to know more about the culinary traditions of the region and about the gorgeous city of Turin itself. When I find myself dreaming about our trip to Italy, it is specifically these moments that fill my thoughts. I have already recommended this tour company to several people and will continue to do so. If you book a tour with I Eat Food Tours, you will walk away full of both delicious food and a new appreciation for this underrated region of Italy!
We had an amazing tour guide-Cecilia. She was bright and bubbly and made the experience so informative and fun. We tasted the most amazing sweets and coffee-it was beyond! Go if you can
It was a enjoyable experience to taste such a wide variety of chocolates and chocolate-based sweets. Cecilia is a very personable and welcoming tour guide. Especially notable is the fact that she was able to customise the tour according to our preferences for chocolates. We highly recommend this tour for anybody coming to Turin who wishes to get to know the city from its sweet side. The drinkable chocolate is divine!
This is a tour for people who identify with the phrase, “Food makes me happy!” Cecilia is such a proud and knowledgeable Torinese. Her passion for both the city and its specialty foods are irresistible! The tour includes private demonstrations at some of the best spots in the historic center, including some that you are unlikely to find with any guide book or search. And the chocolate is everything we hoped it would be. Between Cecilia’s guidance and the quality of regional ingredients, you cannot go wrong. We hope to return for another tour with Cecilia soon and will highly recommend it to others!
What a fantastic time in Turin! We tried a large variety of food and desserts that were all great. He took the tour at a casual pace and shared a ton of information about Turin, so we didn't feel hurried or overly full. Great selection of places to go. Great little walk through old town as well. Turns out there are a ton of things that originated or were invented in Turin! We learned and ate.
Fantastic tour and highly recommend for chocolate and coffee lovers. Cecelia did a great job of explaining the history of coffee and chocolate in Torino. We finished the tour with happy hearts and sated souls.
The tour guide was amazing. She was knowledgeable about all aspects of the food we were experiencing and made it much more enjoyable and memorable
I can recommend the tour a 100 percent. Cecilia is a perfect host and we had a great time, looking and tasting behind the scenes of the Chocolatiers of Turin. I can especially recommend Cecilia as a guide, as she is so attentive and warm-hearted and we learned so much from her about chocolate and hazelnut production. Thanks again!
This review is for the Turino Chocolae tour with Cecelia. I have never done a guided food tour before and didn't know what to expect. It was amazing though and I would do it again. Cecilia was full of positive energy and enthusiasm for Chocolat and Turino. She was super knowledgeable about both as well as the history of the chocolates we tasted. She had great relationships with the shop owners and gave us VIP tasting experiences. She left us with a desire to experience more of Turino and a deeper understanding of the palate relating to chocolate. Do not hesitate, go on this tour! Next time we visit we plan to book the cuisine tour with her husband! (Her English was fantastic so that made it very easy for us as well!) Also, come to the tour hungry!

Highly recommend the Chocolate and Sweet tour. Cecilia was an amazing guide with so much knowledge about Turin’s history and culinary traditions. And, aa a bonus, her English was excellent. This is a must do while visiting Turin!
We had an excellent tour with Cecilia and Abram exploring the sweeter side of Turin. We felt really well taken care of and enjoyed the variety of tastings as well as learning a lot about Turin and its food culture. Would highly recommend this tour and we hope to return and try the street food option sometime soon!
A highlight of our trip! We were in Italy with a school sports team (15 - 17 year old girls) and did a Chocolate and Sweets tour of Turin with Cecilia. She was outstanding. She had done preparation to create a narrative for the tour that supported the aims of our trip and team. This included incorporating us into some of her stories throughout the tour. Her energy and engagement made her a favourite with the team. The chocolate and gelato on the tour was also first class. We learned about the origins of all of it and then thoroughly enjoyed our tastings. We can't recommend I Eat Food Tours Turin highly enough. It was a first class experience from start to finish. Thank you, Cecilia!
Fantastic tour! We have recommended to our friends. Educational and delicious! You get to try many different kinds of chocolate and gelato and learn about the history of chocolate in Turin. Our tour guide, Cecilia was so helpful and able to personalize the tour to our preferences.
We had a fantastic time. Cecilia was patient as we got lost. We went to various treat spots. Loved all of the places! Learned about hazelnuts, gelato and Various chocolates. Shared interesting facts as we walked to the various locations
Cecilia is so lovely & she is so passionate about her craft & it shows: she made us all feel so welcome: we had a group of 3 which is wonderful as we were made to feel like we were celebrities in every place we stopped at. It is really worth every penny & next time in Turin we will get back in contact with Cecilia as we really enjoyed her company
The Chocolate and Pastry Tour is spectacular. Cecilia is so helpful in working out the details that made it possible for us to take this tour on our very last day in Italy. Cecilia is very knowledgeable and also entertaining! The selection of stops were brilliant. Her passion for The city of Turin was contagious! Don’t miss this delicious and delightful experience!
Cecilia is an amazing guide and and we really got to know the city! She is so nice and friendly! Every place she took us she had a lot of knowledge about and had great treats! Highly recommend if you’re in Turin!
We thoroughly enjoyed our chocolate tour of Turino. Cecilia, our tour guide, brought us to the best places to sample some of the most delicious gelato &chocolate. At the last stop we indulged with an unbelievable drink called Bicerin. It’s an amazing combination of coffee, chocolate & cream. This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. Cecilia shared her love for her home city of Turino & her knowledge about chocolate, food & the city. You can tell she truly loves her job. If you are going to do a tour here, do this one. You won’t be disappointed.
Not only was Cecilia energetic and kind, but she made us feel like friends in a city we were new to. She was extremely knowledgeable, and filled with interesting facts and fun activities. I would absolutely recommend her in the future, and hope to cross paths with her again.
Cecilia is a wonderful tour guide, with a passion not just for food and chocolate but sharing the culture and history of Turin. We tasted some amazing treats and experienced hidden gems we just wouldn’t have found on our own. Cecilia was also incredibly sweet to my 8yo daughter and made sure she had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend!
We had the great pleasure of Cecilia taking just the 2 of us on a cultural, historical journey through some of Torino and Piemonte’s wonderful food and drink treasures. Cecilia is a Food Ambassador for Torino. She took us to 3 establishments to explain the story behind each product, it’s link with Italian history and then to experience the tastes. For us this was an introduction to Torino Storico Centro and the links with unique products such as Bicherin. Our heads were brimming with the stories and the pride felt by the producers and our taste buds had been delighted by each taste experience. A brilliant, passionate, fascinating tour experience. Grazie Millie Cecilia.
Cecila did a fantastic job of showing us the special out of the way places we never would have found on our own. We drank rich chocolate coffees in the same room that the Savoy family once entertained Napoleon’s family and also met the owner of the best Gelaterie in Italy. A fun way to get familiar with Turin.
We arrived in Torino the morning of this tour, and we couldn’t have picked a better way to start our stay. Cecilia was incredibly friendly, and she clearly has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Turin (both its chocolate and in general)! The tour was very well organized and was very accessible with not too much walking and decent breaks while enjoying tastings. 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning a bit more about Turin in general while enjoying some sweet treats :)
We had a really lovely experience with Cecilia, introducing us to the sweet history of Turin and sharing her vast knowledge of her city with us. We learned a lot about the local food history, visited some excellent venues and of course tried chocolate! Thank you Cecilia for a wonderful evening!
Great walking tour! Cecilia is fun and knowledgeable. We had a blast sitting in all those historical places for casual conversations with a twist, and tasting all the sweet and yummy delicacies.
Coffee and chocolate are a good mix, but when you add Cecilia's knowledge, love, and passion to that, you're headed to pure amazingness. I mean, we were expecting to eat a lot of chocolates, but Cecilia took the experience to a new level. Not to spoil anything, trust the reviews here and do yourself a favor, book it :) Cecilia, if sometimes fate brings you to Macedonia, remember that you have two friends :)
