This tour was fabulous. The guide was very informative and gave some personal insights. The tunnel was very interesting and if you like history a must see. The WW2 shelters also interesting. As we went from location to the next our guide provided lots of history as well pointed out places we might visit after the tour.

It was a very interesting tour. To learn about the citadel was fascinating. The Resistance Underground tunnels were amazing.
The History of the underground was impressive and our guide (Ileana) painted the story well using the topographical map in the museum. We found very helpful to understand the layout of the city etc. The underground itself was impressive. The remainder of the tour walking outside was nice but it felt disconnected to the start of the tour. Would still recommend.
Excellent, interesting and informative tour of the tunnels of the citadel in Turin. Lots of useful information about Turin's history.
The tour is a fascinating look on Italian history starting in 1700 going forward. In addition to walking through a maze of tunnels used to defend Turin against its enemies, you are taken to a WWII bomb shelter and a parking garage built around Roman ruins.
We speak English knowing this tour was in Italian. Still very worth it. For one part of the tour, there were headsets with prerecorded English. This covered more ground than we realized. The fort area has a lot of history and has its own museum. There are a lot of visuals in the museum to explain the layout. Very interesting, especially if you like history. Also went to an old jail and a place where they stored ice.
Our your guide was very knowledgeable and created great interest in the underground tunnels. I truly enjoyed going to the air raid shelter.
A fantastic experience that goes beyond the normal tourist spots. Wonderful tour for a hot day. If you enjoy history and learning about Turino's connection to roman times, book this experience.
Very interesting and informative. Great guide ready to answer any questions. After the tunnels we strolled down to air raid shelter which was a great experience, then over to the Ive caves by one of the busiest markets I’ve come across.
The tour was excellent. We saw several parts of Turin and went through many of the tunnels. Sarah, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history behind each of the tunnels. She gave us a lot of interesting information about the history of the city.
Sarah was very knowledgeable and made the four interesting. She was very understanding and supportive to my friend who couldn’t maintain the walking pace and helped find him a taxi
Very interesting! I have visited Torino several times but this was all new to me. The guide was excellent, molto simpatica and her English very clear.
Great experience. She was quite knowledgeable and friendly. She provided a wealth of information on the Under ground tunnels of Torino. She provided information on what certain markings and bricks symbols meant, the purpose and construction of the tunnels. She provided on the culture ,military history, prominent buildings, and foods in Torino. The tour is the perfect length. Definitely recommend if you are looking to explore the history of Torino.
Great tour. Our guide went beyond expectations to show us the area both underground and outside. Half of the time is underground and the other half is outside.
Our guide was wonderful! The tour was very interesting and full of history about Turin through the ages. Be prepared to walk and wear comfortable shoes.
Opportunity to find more about Torino history and visit the tunels. Ice cube holes in the parking space are not representative and maybe that part should skip during the visit.
Great afternoon of interesting history. Tunnel walks were good and then taken to a prison an, air raid shelter and finishing off at an ice house. All in all a good experience that I would recommend to anyone going to Turin. Donatello our guide was knowledgeable and friendly
Varied tour. Underground at the museum to the tunnels, then walked overground stopping on way while certain points of interest were talked about. Onto the old ice houses. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped others where English wasn't their first language to ensure they understood. Was a fair bit of walking and standing so not suitable for very young or less mobile. About 2.5 hours. Definitely learnt more about Turin and its history.
Our guide Carla did a wonderful job, pleasant personality and with a vast knowledge on the field. Thank you for an interesting day!
Super interesting tour with some unexpected history related to 1700's war with the French and WW2. It was also a great way to see the city and get some history and background on it as we walked between tunnel spots.
The English Tour was just great. The guide shared a lot of interesting insights and put the tour into historic perspective. We can really highly recommend this tour - many thanks for the tour guide
A quirky fun take on touring Turin—a number of sites joined by the fact that they’re underground. The guides English was excellent and her commentary knowledgeable. We highly recommend it.
Hidden places, unbelievable stories. Antonella, our guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommended tour...
We took this tour on a Saturday afternoon and it was a very interesting couple of hours spent. Our guide Donatella spoke very good english and knew her history very well. The tunnells date back to around 1706 and even my teenager enjoyed walking around the network of tunnels although he had to stoop at times as he is 6ft tall! Added extras were a visit to the Torinesi's faourite church in Piazza della Consolata and also a flea market just north of Porta Palazzo (I think this was where it is) which is spread out over a maze of streets. Many thanks for an interesting afternoon all round.
Great impressive, just do it…. Nothing else to tell, just do it and be impressed on these huge defense constructions
The guide Stefania, with her stories, took us back in time.... Very talented! Very knowledgeable and ready to explain all our curiosities.
Interesting experience, well-prepared guides, the only downsides are that the end of the tour is a 20-minute walk from where you leave the car and then the ice houses in the underground parking lot are very sad
An experience that enriches one's knowledge of the city, the guides are professional and very talented, and in addition to the rich basic information, they delighted us with stories, details, and curiosities that would otherwise be difficult to find. The weakest moment, for me, was the visit to the prisons, saved a little by a nice surprise that I do not intend to reveal to future visitors. I would recommend evaluating the use of transportation more suitable for carrying a limited number of visitors (the use of a regular bus with over 40 seats is therefore a waste, which unnecessarily increases the ticket price, not to mention the environmental impact)
Beautiful, exciting, expert, kind guide, we took a trip into the past, I recommend it, we were there with two children, one 10 years old and the other 5
The guide was excellent and the route was interesting
Very good guide, very pleasant. The tour of the tunnels only accounts for 15 minutes of the entire duration of the visit. There is a whole historical section told by the guide about Pietro Micca, the citadel, and the tunnels. Next, there is a tour of an air-raid shelter, then a tour of ruins located at a public parking lot.
Participating in the Turin Underground tour was an extremely interesting and exciting experience. Descending below the city's surface reveals a hidden face, rich in charm, history, and unpredictable suggestions. The route is very well structured and offers continuous curiosities about a pleasant Turin that is just waiting to be discovered. A round of applause for excellence goes in particular to the guide Raffaella: exceptionally prepared, brilliant, and capable of engaging the group with great mastery. With her passion, she managed to transform every historical anecdote into a vivid story, keeping everyone's attention very high from beginning to end. A true professional in the sector! ⚠️ A sore point: the incident at the Pietro Micca Museum Unfortunately, such a pleasant evening was ruined by an unpleasant incident that deserves to be reported. Upon arriving in front of the Pietro Micca Museum, a museum volunteer who arrived in his Jeep to open the museum thought it best to park the vehicle in the space reserved for disabled people, despite there being several other completely free parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. Being very sensitive to the issue (having a relative with a disability), I approached him to kindly ask him to display the regular permit. The volunteer's reaction was totally rude: He immediately confronted me with arrogance, asking me who I was and if I was part of the booked group. Upon my confirmed presence on the tour and my observation that it was not right to occupy that spot, he replied irritably that he "would not let me in." He then justified the fact by claiming that "after a certain hour it is normal to park there" — as if the rights of people with disabilities expired at a set time or disabled people only went out during the day! I find that the arrogance and incivility of this single individual do not do honor to the excellent work done by the rest of the staff and the guides.
Nice experience. Unfortunately it was only in Italian but where possible we got an English translation. Nice to see a different side of Turin.
There are no suggestions to follow. The visit is well detailed and already fascinating in its own right. Perhaps I would suggest a minimum of historical preparation to better follow the detailed descriptions of the museum guide and staff... Highly recommended for all ages! The visit to the anti-aircraft museum in the “new” prisons is a journey full of historical sensations and modern thrills...
Very interesting tour made engaging by the guide Antonio, prepared and nice person. Congratulations to the organization!
Beautiful experience made very interesting by our super guide Roberto who told us the story of underground Turin in a simple but detailed way making it very engaging!
Professional very prepared guide who knows how to do his job very positive and interesting experience
Very interesting, organized very well and Antonio (our guide) extremely competent, kind and nice.
EXCELLENT..... BEAUTIFUL AND INTERESTING... congratulations to the guide who was able to describe in detail every moment of the path made
Beautiful and unique experience. The mine tunnels accompanied by Mr. Giuseppe who has fascinated us with his stories and revived Pietro Micca, the bunker at the new prison and the real iceboxes with the guide Mr. Antonio very exciting and special. A piece of history not only from Turin but also from Italy, even for those who are not from Turin. Both passionate and prepared guides, beautiful afternoon PS: on the advice of guide Antonio, the visit to the Consolata concluded a perfect afternoon. Turin always fantastic.
Viaggio nella storia e nella vita delle persone che x salvarsi la vita hanno realizzato un mondo sotterraneo veramente bellissimo
The visit was beautiful I did not take pictures. The itinerary I took was interesting and I learned a lot. There was also a moment of performance made by an actor
A beautiful, interesting and precious Sunday experience. The tour is organized down to the smallest detail, full of special notions and interesting information. Our Guide Antonio was born to do this: enthusiastic, friendly and extremely engaging.
Very interesting trip with a fantastic Guide. The trip is at 3 different points, but the transport to it is very neatly arranged. Learned a lot. Thank you so much!
Viaggio nel tempo e nella storia interessante e coinvolgente sicuramente grazie alla guida molto preparata ed empatia sin da subito. Esperienza unica e super consigliata .
I live in the province of Turin and for years I have been curious to see the hidden part of this splendid city. What can I say... wonderful! Visit organized down to the smallest detail, from transport by private coach between the various stages, to the excellent preparation of the guide Stefania, up to a theatrical skit in Piedmontese! An absolute must do at least once in your life, not only for tourists but also for those who live in Turin.
Wonderful underground Turin! Booked with get your guide 3-hour evening tour...a marvel and a real dive into history! We start with a visit to the Pietro Micca museum and from there we enter the underground galleries... truly unique! Then with the bus we move to the air-raid shelters of the now abandoned prisons. Highly trained guides! Then we move into the cellars of stately and historic buildings with all their legends and stories...very interesting! Finally you see the refrigerated tanks and iceboxes in a multi-storey car park and then exit into via Carlo Emanuele. Highly recommended tour! You come away with historical memories that come back to mind and with much more information. Thank you!
Visita molto interessante. Antonio, la guida, oltre alla sua preparazione professionale ha saputo proporre una narrazione dettagliata e molto coinvolgente.
Guida bravissima e divertente! Organizzato in maniera impeccabile Bel tour !! Consiglio vivamente !! Soprattutto il fresco nella parte sotterranea
