Overview

What Makes My Tours Unique:

1) a deep knowledge of/focus on architecture and urban design;
2) a warm, witty, and convivial atmosphere—like exploring with a friend;
3) several intriguing anecdotes;
4) entry to private places away from mass tourism;
5) evening and night availability (when the city is at its best);
6) useful digital material sent to you after the tour;
7) dedicated W.App support from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM for any local tips or travel advice during your stay;
8) max 6/7 people, for a truly personalized experience.

This tour focuses on the past and present beauty of Turin—its striking architecture, rich art history, local lore, and vibrant lifestyle. Scheduled during the lively late afternoon or under the atmospheric evening lights, it gives you the entire day free to visit the museums on your own. Afterward, you’ll step into the authentic side of Turin to see where locals head after work.

We’ll wander through the ancient Roman and medieval quarter—my absolute favorite neighborhood, where I’ve chosen to live and which I know inside out. With its winding cobblestone streets, picturesque courtyards, and hidden gems, this is the oldest, most vibrant heart of the city where real people live.

Together, we’ll discover a less commercial side of Turin that is incredibly tough to uncover on your own or on standard tours. We’ll focus on the subtle, fascinating details that most tourists miss—but you won't!

- Is it true that Turinese people are cold and reserved?
- Why does the architecture shift so dramatically in the span of just a few blocks?
- Did you know the ritual of the "aperitivo" was actually born right here?
- Have you ever stepped inside a traditional "infernotto"?

Don’t expect to just walk and passively listen: get ready to chat, ask questions, and dive into Turin’s past, present, and future. We'll peel back the surface layers on a journey spanning from 25 BC to the present day.

This experience is perfect for you if you want to understand the city through the eyes of a Turin-NATIVE Art and Cinema Historian (with a professional background in Cultural and Artistic Heritage Preservation). Born and raised in Turin, I love sharing the unique spots and intriguing stories you simply won't find in guidebooks.

My style is witty, informal, and highly interactive. Forget rigid, uninspired guides carrying umbrellas, leading massive crowds, and reciting lists of memorized dates. I keep my groups small so I can give 100% of my attention to everyone, moving at your pace with a smile. Think of me as your local FRIEND, not a guide! I’ll even share a few anecdotes about my very (and at times, too!) traditional Turinese family.

To see why this experience is the most popular and highly regarded in town, take a look at the link in my profile to read over 850 five-star reviews.

By the end of our walk, you’ll see Turin through a completely different lens. It’s an investment in your trip that truly elevates your stay. In fact, even locals book this tour to rediscover their own city from a fresh perspective, or gift it to friends and family who always end up raving about it.

In just 2 hours, you will experience a deeply authentic side of Turin without the stress of planning, navigating, or studying history beforehand. I’ve done all the homework for you; your only job is to relax, look around, and enjoy the stories.

I am completely at your disposal for any questions before, during, and after the tour—whether you need recommendations regarding sightseeing, dining, transport, or local lifestyle tips.
(Please note: my tours focus strictly on history, architecture, and culture, so we won't be covering magic legends or doing a food tasting).

Because I'll be sharing insider tips to maximize the rest of your stay, I highly recommend joining the tour on your very first day in town to help you avoid tourist traps and plan your remaining itineraries like a pro.
