Tour description
Turin is Italy's most underrated grand city: the first capital of the unified nation, the cradle of the House of Savoy, and a place of arrow-straight boulevards, mile-long arcades and glorious baroque squares. On this walking tour your local guide reveals a refined, aristocratic Turin that most visitors never take the time to discover.
We will trace the story of the Savoy kings, admire the famous Mole Antonelliana rising above the rooftops, and step into the world of historic chocolate houses and marble-lined cafes where Italian unification was once plotted over an espresso. Add in a dash of Turin's mysterious side and you have a walk that is equal parts elegant, delicious and intriguing.
