Itinerary
The tour will start from Piazza CLN, where the guide will already tell you interesting anecdotes about its history and the two "Twin Fountains".
You will first stop in Piazza San Carlo, where you will see the Equestrian monument of Emmanuel Philibert and you will talk about the square, considered the “drawing room” of the city, mosty for the presence of old and elegant coffee shops
Galleria Subalpina is another important gallery in Turin hosting various commercial premises. It is inspired by the typical Parisian passages and intended for bourgeois leisure.
You will then stroll inside Galleria San Federico, characterized by its elegant and prestigious structure. Today it is home to shops, jewelers, professional studios... but its history is all to be discovered!
Continue your visit reaching the terrific Piazza Carignano and admire some of the most beautiful historical buildings, declared UNESCO World heritage since 1997. After Piazza Carignano, you will make a quick stop at what were once the Gardens of Palazzo Carignano.
This is one of the historical squares of the city, adorned with ancient palaces and the equestrian statue of Carlo Alberto di Savoia, from whom the square takes its name.
You will then enter Piazza Castello, the real heart of Turin, where you will talk about the main monuments of the city, such as Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Madama and San Lorenzo Church.
End your tour on a high note and see the magnificent Mole Antonelliana, the true symbol of the city.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour
Our guide, Alessio (Alex), was fantastic. He was mindful of the heat and tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible. He was incredibly informative and fun. And also his English skills were quite excellent, so it was easy to understand him. We saw quite a bit that I am not sure we would have seen otherwise. He also let us know about some things to watch out for while in Turin like aggressive panhandlers. I really appreciated him.
Torino with knowledge and care
It was a great experience with a great guide who explained clearly and with a lot of knowledge. We walked through the history of Torino
A Tale of Two Cities
History came alive with the animated gestures and story telling of our knowledgable guide. History paraded before us in the grands palazzi and in front of the « istorico caffés ». Each step of the walking tour seemed a wink of the eye at a Tale of Two Cities with its great moments as well as the incidental habits and choices of its historical figures. Learning about Bicerin, guiduja, popsicles, tramanzino, vermut, and the creators of these local delights provided a rich understanding for further discoveries of the city of Turin.
