Turin Private Tours |
|
Turin is a wonderful place to explore Italian culture. Boasting elegant squares, world class museums and a charming café scene, Torino is also remarkably free of the crowds that converge on most of Italy. Take a private Turin tour with a friendly local guide eager to show you the local hotspots and hidden gems in their beautiful city.
The neighbourhoods of Turin offer endless architectural treasures, whether it's the Basilica di Superga overlooking the Po River or the city's grand 15th century Cathedral, where you can view the famous Shroud of Turin. Your guide can even help you retrace the famous car chase route that brought Turin's streets to American and British audiences in Michael Caine's 1967 film, The Italian Job. In the evening, trendy new bars spill onto the cobblestone streets of the Quadrilatero Romano, and your guide will be happy to recommend a great place for dinner.
Enjoy a private Turin tour, knowing your guide has designed this tour just for you! |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Italy requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the area in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural features. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each foreign language they applied for with oral and written tests. report error
