Hello! I’m Carlotta, a proud native of Turin – or Torino, as we locals call it. I was born and raised in this vibrant city, and over the years, my love for it has only deepened. That passion led me to pursue my tour guide and tour manager license, and I’ve been sharing the beauty of Turin, Piedmont, and other stunning Italian destinations with visitors from all over the world for over 15 years. My curiosity and drive to constantly learn have sparked my deep interest in art, local history, and the preservation of the rich cultural, gastronomic, and folkloric traditions of my region. I stay up-to-date by crafting new itineraries and researching fresh, captivating stories to share with my guests. What I love most about being a tour guide is seeing the amazement in my guests’ eyes as they discover my beautiful city and its surrounding areas. I’m also incredibly passionate about our local food culture and traditions. In fact, I’ve created a "Market Tour – Like a Local" and became a certified sommelier in 2024. I now also lead wine tours in the Langhe region, where you’ll taste exceptional Barolos and Barbarescos at hand-picked vineyards. I work closely with hotels, local institutions, tour operators, and both Italian and international associations to ensure a seamless experience for my guests. I’d be thrilled to welcome you during your visit to Turin and Piedmont! Licenses & Qualifications: - Licensed Tourist Guide and Tour Manager by the local government in Turin and Piedmont - Master’s Degree in Tourism Development - Cettified Sommelier by the Italian Sommelier Association - I am authorized to lead tours both outdoors and inside museums and art exhibitions A practical note: I am not a driver, but I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange for a car and driver upon request. I look forward to showing you the best of my city and region!

Overview of your Turin tour

It's a hard job, but somebody has to do it: I have personally tested all of the places we'll visit during the food tour and you'll visit only to the ones that passed my test! Expect at least four stops to try Turin's specialties! Food choice depends on season and availability. A list of some of the possible tastings: Grissini breadsticks: invented in Turin, they're perfect with a glass of wine from Piedmont. Cheeses and salami from Piedmont: we have a wide array of local cheeses and meats. Tajarin: fresh egg pasta, we like to count the yolks per kg of flour, the more the merrier! Agnolotti: fresh pasta traditionally filled with meat and vegetables, served with the jus of roasted meat. Tartare: meat dish made from raw Piedmont beef meat, we call it "battuta", beaten, because it's minced by beating with the back of the knife. Bicerin: our traditional hot beverage with coffee, milk and chocolate of different textures, it's a journey in flavor. Artisanal chocolates: they're gonna make you go to heaven and back
