What people are saying about Turin
Best choice! Everything was so organised! It was easy to find the meeting point, people there were friendly, patient and very helpful! Total value for money! We had the chance to visit many museums, castles and palaces! I would totally suggest it and of course prefer it when I'll visit Torino again!
It's very convenient! In just 2 days I managed to see the Museo Egizio, Museo del Cinema, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Reale, Mole Antonelliana, Chiesa Madre di Dio, Borgo Medievale with tour in Parco del Valentino. If I had booked them separately, it would have cost me over 100 €
Significant collection with many important pieces...leave plenty of time to see everything. Our guide Marco was very expert in Egyptian history and worked overtime to show us the important pieces. It is a must to have him tour with you.
It was a pleasant two hours spent in the company of a local guide who was able to explain the history of the dishes we tasted, without her we would never have found these fantastic places! Thanks
Excellent card for visit many place of Turin. In some museum there is also the guide included (e.g. Egypt Museum with a phone in many language, in Superga to the royal tombs only in italian).
