Piazza San Carlo, one of Turin’s most precious gems, is shrouded in a history full of charm and intrigue! In this square we will see the characteristic "Twin Churches" : get ready!
Before arriving at the imposing Piazza Castello we stroll through this historic square where we find the Palace of the same name. Palazzo Carignano is one of Italy’s most impressive 17th-century palaces and home to the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento.
Piazza Castello was the vital center of aristocratic life during the period of the Savoia kingdom and still retains its central role in the heart of Turin. Framed by Turin’s characteristic porticoes, the city’s main streets run from here: via Roma, via Garibaldi, renowned for its affordable shopping, and via Po, which leads directly to the river of the same name.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. it’s one of the most important buildings in Turin. Originally a bishop’s palace, it was redesigned in the late 16th century at the behest of Duke Emanuele Filiberto when Turin became the capital of the Savoia dukedom. Ticket for this are not included in the tour (15€)
The palace, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses the Civic Museum of Ancient Art. In the past, in place of this imposing building stood the Porta Decumana during the Roman era, which served as access to the city from the Po side. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the gate was converted into a fortress for defensive purposes. Ticket is not inlcuded (10€)
Lovely church with an important story and some interesting curiosities! The dome of the church is one of the features of the Turin skyline.
Here we are at the only Renaissance-style church in the city! This building was built between 1491 and 1498 while the bell tower is slightly older (1468). The complex was expanded in the 17th century when an additional chapel was built for the preservation of the Holy Shroud.
Beautiful, imposing, unmissable. A symbol of the city, the Mole always leaves you speechless. We will go through the story of this building. Tickets not included (from 10€)
Over 38,000 square meters of area for one of the largest squares in Europe. It was created in the early 1800s, when there was a desire to expand the city towards the Po River it was named after Vittorio Emanuele I until the end of World War I when it changed its name to Vittorio Veneto Square.
Imposing and beautiful this church was built to commemorate the return of Victor Emmanuel I of Savoia to command the city after the defeat of Napoleon. Some cool stories behind this church!
I was a reasonable guide but it was sometime hard to know what at anytime you should be looking at. Maybe more photos with exact headings would have been helpful, That said, if you are time poor in this city, it,s a good option.
This is an awful product. It is certainly not a long cal guide recording. It is the ubiquitous AI voice set to read an AI script taken from god knows where. Very poor.
Disappointed gave up and went on hop on off instead
We had a nice experience in Torino thanks to the Walking Cap city guide we bought from TripAdvisor. We've been able to visit nice places at our own pace, knowing we would get the most important informations about each location - and a few fun facts too! Definitely an experience I recommend.
We really enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and the map led us to our next destination. Very easy to use.
An amazing weekend gateway as a solo traveller. The digital tour guide was just the what I needed to manouvre around the city and take in the culture and history of Turin.
The walking tour was a great experience. I had a day on my own in Turin and didn’t want to just walk around aimlessly trying to figure out what to see and in which order. The tour was very informative and well put together. What I liked especially was that I could stop anywhere for as long as I wanted and then continue the tour. I highly recommend it!
This is a great way to see a city on your own time, at your own pace. The content on all the sites of Torino was very thorough. I loved having both audio and the ability to read especially when I was sitting grabbing a bite to eat. This will be the way I do tours when I visit Italy next!
I enjoyed the introduction to Turins historical sites. Fantastic the way it is presented. Unfortunately my phone ran down to 20% which stopped the audio. So I read the rest of the information. Would have been better as a circuit, but thats just an opinion. It was quite a warm day, would have enjoyed some cool shady trees as part of the walk through.i know what to go and see now tomorrow ! Thanks.
Moderately interesting commentary read in a robotic American voice (AI?) with no understanding or personality. Not what I was expecting.
A very coherent and easy to follow tour of Turin . I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to go through at their own pace and learn more about the history and culture of the city
The tour was in a logical order. The expanations were very good. Maybe a little more tips for where to eat, like local restaurants or coffeeshops
Was worth it. Good balance of information and good recommendations. Was great to be able to go at our own pace, stop at a restaurant and just resume our tour. I recommend using earphones as there can be quite some noise in the city (construction).
I was launched into the heart of Turin. Fab commentary with a lot of additional information. Loved the food recommendations
Useful info, enthusiastic delivery. The guide highlights key sites of interest, useful if you've never been to Turin and don't know where to stop. It's no frills, but helped me organzise my trip.
An interesting way to see a new place but the platform used could do with being a little easier rather than scrolling the page or flicking between screens for directions. Nonetheless I saw and learned a lot more with the guide than I would have without it
This tour was excellent 😊 as we were not sure when we would arrive in Turin and how much time we would have, this was an excellent option for us. As it was our first time in Turin I had lots of questions before arrival. Our questions were answered straight away by a very friendly and helpful tour guide. The route and information given during the tour was great, we really saw the best parts of the city 😊 we had thought of catching the tourist bus but we realised we would see and learn a lot more by walking as the bus would not get close to the places we saw. (Also a lot cheaper than any bus) We had the English tour and it was all very clear and interesting. We are looking forward to taking similar tours by same company in other Italian cities. Would highly recommend 👍
It's well worth the money. This tour brings you to very nice spots in Torino, and learns you interesting stories about the city. And the recommendation for the Bicerin, the drink of Torino, was very good.
This had some very interesting information. It was quite in depth for an audio tour. There were some kinks to get it set up and going, but the service was immediate and the solution was quick.
By now I have become a fan of these digital guides but I think they are very practical if, like me, you love to visit a city at your own pace. I spent only half a day in Turin and unfortunately my visit was very quick but the digital guide was definitely a very useful support. The route is already created and tested by someone local, you can see the monuments you prefer (although you have to book something in advance) and hear the most important information. Good job!
Very well explained, with many details.
Easy, a friend who accompanies you through the streets of the city, describing squares and monuments to you.
Beautiful experience in Turin, well explained
Fast delivery of the password, very clear instructions and content, great explanations and a very good selection of the relevant Points of Interest!! And you do everything at your own pace, easy repetition is possible!! 👌
A good experience, allows you to see the most beautiful sites,
We explored Turin on foot for a good two hours. The monuments are varied and offer a beautiful array of what is essential to see. We made a few detours along the way that significantly and pleasantly extended the visit. The explanations were interesting; more anecdotes would make my visit even more personal. A wonderful experience that I recommend.
It is under all criticism that it is sold as a tour with a local guide
All good! Very clear and nice
Step by step audio guide, easy to use has with great flexibility of action. Several languages available, lots of useful information, route for the visit of monuments optimized.
The digital guide is very suitable for getting a first overview of the city.
The concept is seductive, you can walk at the pace you want without constraint, having appropriate comments according to the curiosities of the city visited. But these comments are often a little too succinct (less than a minute is frustrating), and deserve to be able to be developed over 3 or 4 minutes.
Well the guide, explains quite complete for a mid-morning tour and know the most important points of Turin
Good experience but we sometimes missed pictures of places to find them more easily (on the square of the reali museum for example). It may be obvious to a Turinese but not to us.
Clear driving, in some stops a little superficial but still good for a quick tour of the city. I recommend it
Very simple. It doesn't tell anything you don't know reading a little before the trip. Nothing interesting, and it goes way over the buildings
We bought the guide hoping not to have done a useless thing and instead it was very useful. Made very well and simple to use. We followed all the directions on how to sport and we did not have any difficulties despite not knowing the city. I highly recommend it for those who love to move independently without being tied to schedules and groups.
Hello, We did not know this guided tour formula and we found it very interesting and very easy to access ; you have all the information and you can go totally to your ball. Rest assured we will repeat. Jesus and Pillar
A beautiful city with a large historic city center. Many castles and churches as well as great museums. The surrounding area also offers many sights and breathtaking nature.
Super easy very well explained and the app connects with Google maps to take you from one point to another. Thank you.
This tour is highly recommended: user-friendly app, good explanation, you can do the tour at your own pace, you see the main sights of the city without your own preparation, and this at an acceptable price. From now on, we will look at this option for each subsequent city we visit. We had problems opening the link and Matteo helped us immediately.
Good flow and everything essential very well to the point. The restaurant recommendation just great. Good friend showing you his city.
Perfect guide for those who admire walking in their own time. Guide full of useful and interesting information. With great recommendation.
It is interesting for a first visit to Turin without hiring a guide and for a short time. Perhaps it lacks more detail on some topics (example: Egyptian museum).
I would say a "must" if you are going to visit Turin , the application is easy to manage once you have entered the password... I was useful the advice I read before use and I was clever to share the guide on my whatts upp profile because at some point I accidentally deleted everything but I could recover from where I saved And with the password screenshort (I'm not very practical yet). I went around the meeting for my own circumstances but it still works
Good driving, accurate and easy to use. I would add some architectural information to make it more appealing.
Guided tour for me ideal free in the hours you can manage the day in complete freedom. Visited all the places of the visit without the hassle of returning to the path or set time. Exhaustive and pleasant story
Guida che mi ha permesso di visitare Torino in pieno relax. Avendo la possibilità di usufruirne per quattro giorni h potuto riascoltare alcune cose
Useful to suggest the route and great audio support to know the beauties of the city. Excellent value for money. Recommended for those who like to visit in total autonomy
I needed guidance just like that. Fast and accurate explanations of the most important things. R if you don't understand right away you can listen to it again.
I chose the digital version in English and the mobile translated everything perfectly into German. The tour was informative and entertaining. Highly recommended!
