About this experience
If you really want to understand Turin, here is the tour about past and present, architecture, art and society. You will have all day to visit the museums and then with me you will see the authentic Turin, and where the Turinese go in the evening.
We will be in my neighborhood, the medieval/Roman one, with its picturesque streets and hidden corners, where we Turin DOC live.You will see a less touristic side of Turin and not easy to discover on your own, away from the usual buildings where van tutti.
Recommendation this tour if you want to have a local expert all to yourself who knows intriguing stories and places you wouldn't otherwise find. And no big groups: you can ask as many questions as you want!
Consider me your TURINESE FRIEND, graduated in art history, with whom you can also joke, not a Guide!
