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.

Itinerary
You will meet your local guide in Piazza C.L.N. by the lady's fountain.
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.
The Roman District is where all the main monuments are located of the Roman era.

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!
Romina was a fantastic tour guide! Her knowledge and passion for Torino made this tour fun and exciting!
Relay enjoyed this walking tour—guide was very knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic, she certainly loved her city of Torino. It was a great value too!!
Very pleasant and informative guide to Turin. The group was small enough to make it easy to get around and to hear the guide.
Stefano is a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. If you visit Turin, I thoroughly recommend this tour to you.
<p>I ended up having a private tour with Stefano this week. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. I highly recommend his walking tour of Torino!</p>
<p>Because of the holiday weekend, my husband and I had a personal tour of Turino! Stefan was a great guide and a wealth of knowledge. He took us to a wonderful local market and gave us a great tour. His recommendation of location for a place to eat was the best! We had so much fun visiting Turin and taking this tour. Thank you Stefan for making this day special!</p>
<p>Guide was great! Very knowledgeable, fluent English, passionate about Turin and Italy, personal with tourists. We went inside of many churches, visited central city, old Roman city, and open market. Great intro to the history and architecture of Turin.</p>
<p>Sorry for dragging Stefano out through the rain, but the tour was great!! He personalized everything about the tour for us and was extremely knowledgeable about the city and it’s history. Hope to return someday for the Chocolate Tour. Sounds like it will be amazing!!</p>
<p>It was a great way to see the city in one day. Our guide was articulate, knowledgeable and relaxing to be with. It was the right amount of time for walking.</p>
<p>We really enjoyed our tour with Stefano. He emailed and texted us ahead of time to make sure we knew where to meet. It turned out that we were his only clients that day so we basically had a private tour. He is very knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge with us. We also had a nice chat over coffee at a local bar. I liked Turin a lot. It was not crowded with tourists and there are many interesting things to see there. I would definitely recommend booking this tour.</p>
<p>The walking tour was a good intro to Turin, which is a flat city, set out on a grid and made for walking. As well as showing me the main sites, my guide Stefano also told me about the Torinese drink Bicerin and where to drink it, explained the city's superstition involving a bull's private parts the bull is the symbol of the Turin, and lots more not covered in a guidebook. Definitely recommend this tour.</p>
<p>Very informative and professional morning with Stephano. A nicely paced walk to enjoy the highlights and learn some of Turin's history. Stephano did a great job - a morning swell spent.</p>
<p>Loved it!! Stefano was a fabulous guide very knowledgeable and flexible in showing us what we were interested in.</p>
<p>Lovely Turin! It was a very informative and delightful walking tour. It was a very small group, just a couple and myself. The tour guide -sorry I don't recall his name- did an amazing job. Turin is underrated, many things to see. This is a great way to learn about Turin. It is a walking tour, so plan accordingly, comfortable shoes! Hope you enjoy the market. Highly recommended!</p>
<p>Stefano is a great guide! It has been a pleasure discovering Torino with his guidance. I definetely recommend this tour.</p>
<p>Stefano was really knowledgeable about the history of the city and buildings. He was very friendly and pleasant. There was only the two of us and Stefano so we had a very personal tour. <br/> I would definitely recommend him personally as a guide.</p>
<p>This was an amazing walking tour.Our tour guide Stefano took us, we were only two, to many historic sites. I would say he showed us all the sites and he also explained the history of them. We enjoyed the Porta Palazzo Market, the visit to the church of the Holy Shroud, the piazzas,churches, and the Royal Palace at Piazza Castello which is beautiful. We walked during three hours and ended this tour at the River Po bridge in front of a beautiful church. Stefano was very polite, clear in his explanations in English and pacient with me who likes to see everything in detail, even he re-scheduled my tour. He also suggested us names of typical foods. This was a very special walking tour!</p>
<p>Great tour.<br/> Impressed with Stefano's knowledges, excellent style, and a very pleasant personality.</p>
<p>Stefano was fabulous! So knowledgable and passionate about his fine city of Turin. Made the long walking on a hot day very worth the sweat. Would sign up for another day if I were going to be in Turin longer.</p>
<p>I loved our walking tour. Stefano our tourguide did an amazing job not only showing us the sites, but answering questions and going the extra mile to share the wonders of Turino with us. I really loved this city and i am sure that it had alot to do with our walking tour with Stefano. I would highly recommend seeing Turin using a walking tour. Thank you Stefano.</p>
<p>Excellent tour - personable guide with excellent knowledge of the rich history of Turin.</p>
<p>This was an amazing tour with an even more amazing tour Guide Stefano. He was patient, spoke English fluently and knew the city like the back of his hand. His history about Turin and the monuments was complete and this is one individual who needs to be recognised by Viator!</p>
<p>The small group walking tour of Turin was wonderful! Stefano our tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. It was only my husband and I on the tour so it was very personalized. We saw many of Turin's main sites and we stopped and got a coffee at a coffee shop, which was honestly my favorite part. He also recommended great places to eat and visit in the area. The tour was around 2 - 2 1/2 hours, so wear comfortable shoes. It was a great start to our trip and a good introduction to Turin. Great tour!</p>
<p>The guide was very friendly and informative and took time to answer our questions. We saw the highlights of Turin plus some areas we might not have seen ourselves such as the Roman area, and the guide gave us all the historical details of each area. The group was small and the tour was very relaxed and informal. I would highly recommend this tour.</p>
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.
We enjoyed this visit which gave us a good idea of the center of Turin and we certainly discovered places we would not have gone on our own. Very friendly, our guide was courteous and pleasant, sharing his enthusiasm for this city that he obviously appreciates very much. Thank you!
Accogliente e ammabile. Ottimo modo per scoprire una citta sottovalutata. C’e stato un piacere ascoltarla, e’ una scelta buonissima per conoscere Torino.
There is nothing against taking the city walk yourself with a good handbook about Turin. Parking is cheap and easy under one of the squares in downtown. Then with via Roma , via Garibaldi and the squares in front of Palazzo Reale and station the most beautiful area is within easy reach. There are very nice arcades, buildings with beautiful details. It is our 2nd visit and and we think it is one of the more beautiful cities in Italy. And there is more and more refurbishing and it is enjoyable on one of the terraces. Also quite affordable all. For more information, a city guide is of course easier.
It is visible from the many rich buildings and boulevards that Turin has a lot of money. However, it lacks the grandeur of other Italian cities and looks and poorly maintained and no longer fresh. Pleasant street we found the Via Garibaldi.
