What You Will Do
This tour is focused on the past and present beauty of Turin in terms of architecture, art, curious stories and Turin's lifestyle, under the lively magic of the night lights or in the evening. So you will have the whole day to visit the museums and then with me you will see the authentic Turin, plus what the Turinese do and where they go after work.
Turin is also a smart and easy day trip from Milan by train (1 hour journey, fares from €10 one way by "Italo" trains).
We'll visit the medieval and Roman district, my favorite, where I have chosen to live and that I know far and wide, with its cobblestone streets and picturesque houses, the market and its hidden gems, the oldest part of Turin and where real people live. With me you'll see a less touristic face of Turin, not easy to discovery on your own or with other guides, far from the usual highlights. With an attention to detail that all tourists miss, but you won't! ;-)
- Is it true that Turin people are cold and fake?
- Why is Turin such an underrated city?
- Did you know that the aperitif was born in Turin?
- Have you ever been in a "infernotto"?
- The reputation of Turin as a magical city...is it true?
Don't expect to just walking and listening: get ready to chat, ask questions and discuss Turin's past, present and future, far beyond the surface, on a trip from 2023 to 25 BC.
I suggest this tour if you want to understand the city with a NATIVE Art and Cinema historian, born and raised in Turin, who knows many intriguing anecdotes and unique places that you couldn't otherwise find on your own.
My style is ironical, informal and interactive: forget about the guides with the umbrella, their list of dates and big groups, because I want to give 100% of my time and attention to everyone. And you can ask all the questions you want, always at your pace!
Consider me your funny LOCAL FRIEND, not a guide!

Turin
In just 2 hours you will see a very significant and authentic part of Turin without worrying about planning where to go, how to access certain more private places, without studying anything about Turin: I did it for you so you don't have to worry about anything , just to enjoy your visit and learn as much as possible in a relaxed way.

Turin
I want to give what I look for when I travel: beautiful places, good company and good memories! Consider me your Turinese FRIEND, not a guide!
I was BORN and GROWN in Turin, I studied Conservation of Cultural Heritage and I graduated in Art and Cinema History. I have also lived abroad as a teacher of Italian for foreigners and I speak English, French, Spanish and a little Portuguese and Esperanto, as well as Turinese, which my parents have always been speaking at home. I love studying languages, understanding their social value and learning from my guests! I also love animals very much and during the tour you might see the "beasts" that live with me....;-)
In 2010 I started working for some American relocation companies that support expats in their "new life" in Turin and for several companies that provide private language courses.
I'll be at your complete disposal for any questions you may have about Turin: what to visit, where to eat, transport, culture, dialect... to make your experience as useful as possible.
