Frederica was a fantastic guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and a delight to talk to. The tour is a great way to get an initial introduction to Torino.
Federica is a terrific guide! Her personality, knowledge,and love for her home city of Torino made our time together very enjoyable. She also provided good tips for things to see as well as restaurants. We tried one of her restaurants recs right away, Signor Vin, and really liked it. The tour was the perfect orientation for exploring Torino Centro on our own for the two weeks we are in this beautiful city!. Thank you, Federica, from Dana and Paul from North Carolina!
Made us feel at home in Turin Centro. Federica was an excellent guide, showing the sights of the center and recommending more places short walks away. She gave us good restaurant recommendations too. She was knowledgeable, kind and pleasant to be with for several hours. Her English was really good too. We very much enjoyed our time together and learned so much!
We can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Federica took us on a well paced tour of the city uncovering so many sights and detail we would never have got on our own. She has a deep knowledge of Turin and its history, and painted a wonderful narrative for us that tied the sights together, and explained Turin’s place in europe and Italy’s history. It was a well designed tour with easy walking and plenty of time for questions and suggestions of places to visit while we were there. A thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Federico was super friendly, patient and helpful. I ended up having a private tour as my traveling companion was not feeling good. It was like visiting the unknown city with your best friend. We went to places that were surely not within the range of sites to see. I also appreciated the extra effort Federico made to meet with me despite a personal issue that made it difficult.
Federica was lovely, informative and went out of her way to introduce us to Turin.
Our tour guide Federica was very friendly and knowledgeable. She answered our questions and was accommodating with our schedule. We would highly recommend her.
My experience in Turin was very positive; I had been looking forward to visiting it for a long time. I found it to be a city full of history and with plenty of buildings to explore. I really enjoyed walking under the porticoes, a feature that characterizes much of the city center, as well as visiting its wonderful squares and gardens. Thanks to our tour guide Federica, who was friendly and nice in showing us around the city.
Very good guide who was extremely friendly and informative. My wife and I were the only ones on the tour so our guide (Frederica) tailored the tour for us, we were very lucky.
Frederica was a wonderful host who made our tour very personal. She also had a great local knowledge and made suggestions for further visits and restaurants to visit. Highly recommended.
Fredrick was excellent and it was a thoroughly enjoyable walk.
Federica as our tour guide did an amazing job! We enjoyed the beautiful city and the wonderful stories about the history and landmarks. We will return to spend more time and explore the entire city.
