An exciting discovery - I live in the province of Turin and for years I have been curious to see the hidden part of this splendid city. What can I say... wonderful! Visit organized down to the smallest detail, from transport by private coach between the various stages, to the excellent preparation of the guide Stefania, up to a theatrical skit in Piedmontese! An absolute must do at least once in your life, not only for tourists but also for those who live in Turin.

Underground Turin...what a surprise! - Wonderful underground Turin! Booked with get your guide 3-hour evening tour...a marvel and a real dive into history! We start with a visit to the Pietro Micca museum and from there we enter the underground galleries... truly unique! Then with the bus we move to the air-raid shelters of the now abandoned prisons. Highly trained guides! Then we move into the cellars of stately and historic buildings with all their legends and stories...very interesting! Finally you see the refrigerated tanks and iceboxes in a multi-storey car park and then exit into via Carlo Emanuele. Highly recommended tour! You come away with historical memories that come back to mind and with much more information. Thank you!

Definitely Worth it - Great afternoon of interesting history. Tunnel walks were good and then taken to a prison an, air raid shelter and finishing off at an ice house. All in all a good experience that I would recommend to anyone going to Turin.
Donatello our guide was knowledgeable and friendly

Varied and enjoyable history tour - Varied tour. Underground at the museum to the tunnels, then walked overground stopping on way while certain points of interest were talked about. Onto the old ice houses. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped others where English wasn't their first language to ensure they understood. Was a fair bit of walking and standing so not suitable for very young or less mobile. About 2.5 hours. Definitely learnt more about Turin and its history.

Tunnel History and More - Super interesting tour with some unexpected history related to 1700's war with the French and WW2. It was also a great way to see the city and get some history and background on it as we walked between tunnel spots.

Opportunity to find more... - Opportunity to find more about Torino history and visit the tunels.
Ice cube holes in the parking space are not representative and maybe that part should skip during the visit.
