Highlights

Discover the two souls of Turin
Delve into Turin's dark past
Walk past the hearth of darkness
Come face to face with the Magic of Turin

Full description

Turin has two souls: one linked to white magic, the other to evil black magic. Explore them both with a guide during a "magical mystery tour." Begin your tour in Piazza Statuto, the "hearth of darkness." This part of Turin was considered an unlucky area and used as a burial site by the Romans that founded the city. At sunset, drive past scary stone monsters, sinister architecture, unusual statues adorning ancient buildings, and learn about a lesser-known detail of the Duomo, which houses the famous Holy Shroud.

Enrico, a highly educated and competent guide, made us discover a different Turin by giving us a new interpretation of monuments and architecture that allowed us to grasp the deeper meaning that the artists wanted to give them. Almost three hours of very interesting explanations combined with the pleasantness of the lights of Turin at night. Stra-recommended!

Fun and very interesting experience. For me, as a solo traveler, it was also a way to spend a different and enjoyable evening with new people. The tour is well organized; very punctual. Very well prepared and friendly guide. I will definitely use Get Your Guide again for similar activities in other cities. I advise!

Interesting tour in the magical and wonderful Turin! The route alternates between walks and trips by bus through the mysterious streets and places of the city. The guide (we had Elisa) very prepared and kind. As a conclusion to the tour there is a final narrative surprise that completes the experience by adding a touch of "active identification"! I do not add anything else so as not to spoil! :) Experience definitely to be recommended!
