This is an excellent tour and it proceeds even if you’re the only person in the group plus you don’t have to pay $250 for a private tour. She is very comprehensive and showed me all the must see places and even pointed to the important sights to visit that we were not able to go to because our time ran out. I had a very wonderful day seeing Turin for the first time in the eyes of someone who grew up there and loves her city.Questo è il periodo più bello per visitare Torino, oltre i vari musei e assaporare le specialità gastronomiche, vi consiglio una passeggiata lungo il Po dove potete ammirare i bellissimi colori autunnali.
