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!

The Royal House of Savoy has permanently lived in Turin since 1563 all the way to the 19th century. Who where they, how did they manage to unify Italy and become its only Royal Dinasty? You will get the answers to these questions and while discovering the dazzling decor inside the Royal Apartments, the Chapel of the Holy Shroud and the spectacular Royal Armory, all located in the Royal Palace.
