After a past as a researcher and electronic engineer, I wanted to give myself a second life in the world of tourism by becoming a licensed tour guide and realizing my lifelong desire: to study the history, art and past of the city I live in and love and tell it to others in the right way, prepared but not academic, serious but not too much (the lightness of being never abandons us). And then perhaps the most beautiful thing: being with you, laughing, enjoying your vacation moments, satisfying your questions and curiosities, becoming friends even for just a couple of hours. priceless

Tour description

Free tour of nineteenth-century Turin: Turin overlooking the Po between history, legends and Vermouth

Starting from Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the largest porticoed square in Europe, we will cross the Po river admiring the walls and telling about the ancient embarkations of the fishermen of the 19th century. We will go up to the Gran Madre church where a splendid view of Turin will be offered before us. We will tell them about the Great Mother and her history and magical legend that involves her so much. We will return to Via Po, the oldest porticoed street in Turin where as we walk we will get to know many historical and hidden points, talking about chocolate and Vermouth; we will admire the majestic Mole Antonelliana from its feet, knowing its truly particular history.
And then again the University of Turin and the history that links our city to Alfred Nobel (the one with the prize!)
Between history and anecdotes we will arrive in Piazza Castello, the crossroads of the entire city, where we will conclude our journey in the shadow of the Royal Palace -

Departure from Piazza Vittorio Veneto 24 Napoleonic Bridge, Gran Madre church, return to Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Via Po, Mole Antonelliana, University University, Piazza Castello in front of Palazzo Reale.

Esperienza davvero interessante in una parte di Torino a me davvero sconosciuta. Tante note storiche e curiosità che hanno fatto volare le due ore che siamo stati in compagnia di Tonino. Lo consiglio a tutti, specialmente ai torinesi che amano la loro città! Bellissimo finire con un bel bicchiere di Vermut, che noi, naturalmente, ci siamo bevuti alla fine...
