Optimal! It was very simple, at the box of the tourist bus I got the tickets for the mole and for the tourist bus, I added the ticket for my 12-year-old daughter. The bus allows you to admire and visit all the places of interest in Turin. For the size, the ticket has priority skip the line, unfortunately there are no audio guides

Our guide Francesco told us so many interesting things and with so much enthusiasm, it was a really successful start in Turin - the pier and the city walk - highly recommended!!! Francesco was also happy to answer all our questions.
