Fantastic walking tour, one of our best experiences in Europe! Laura is an absolute delight - a perfect combination of entertaining and informative. Having been born and lived in Turin her entire life, she passionate and proud of her city, and her love and enthusiasm shows 😊. The tour took us through the essential parts of the city and was perfectly interlaced with history, culture and context. We got a real sense of the Torino perspective and how the city and it's people have evolved over time. A morning well spent exploring the city, with great food and drink tips to cap it off. I would highly recommend!
Had a wonderful morning with Laura (tour in English)! A local from Torino, she was knowledgeable and took us on an interesting and educational tour through the history of Torino. She gave us recommendations for other museums to visit, cafes to eat at, where to buy famous delicacies and showed us many buildings with hidden interior grandeur we would not have known to look for otherwise. She also took extra time at the end of the tour to speak with anyone that had questions, even long after the tour was over. Such a kind guide, we could not recommend her more!
Had a fantastic walking tour with Laura. Very knowledgeable, energetic and proud of her city. Highly recommend.
Absolutely enjoyed the walking tour. I’ve learned so much and am glad we took the time to walk along with this passionate lady. Highly recommended :)
